I have developed my softkeyboard for support another language.
And I also enabled text prediction on it but it doesn't return any predicted word while typing.
So I have created my .xml dictionary and already convert it to be .dict file
So, question is, how can I apply this dictionary to work with my softkeyboard?
I assume you have an edit box and you need to search the dictionary for suggestions.
This is well explained in these two articles
Using search dialogs
Adding custom suggestions
You will need to create a ContentProvider. You can use this application as a reference.

I'm trying to write a simple rich text editor application. I would like to be able to press different "style" buttons (e.g. bold, italic) to make all further inputs have that style, just like I could in an office application.
I was thinking I could have every new character be selected in a SpannableString and then change its style, but I don't know how I could do that. I tried setting an OnTextChangedListener but I later found out it's probably not suitable for what I want to do. If I knew how to listen for all new inputs I could probably figure something out, but I can't find anything that does that.
Any help is appreciated.
Please have a look at this eBay Open Source Android project called the Mildly Rich Text Editor that I am currently working on. It is a rich text editing library adapted from Droid Writer that makes use of spans. It can also be imported as a library in your application.
There is a demo app included in the repository that you can build and try out.
Note that there are some limitations noted in the "issues" section of the GitHub repository (e.g. it does not currently work with custom keyboards). Please also feel free to contribute.
you can get help with https://developer.android.com/training/keyboard-input/commands.html
you can use onkeypress or onclick event and check for that key with ASCII values of keys
I am working on an Android chatting application. I need to show, a smileys or emoji's keyboard, like that of 'Whats App'. Is there any such default keyboard for Android? If yes, how do I implement it?
This largely depends on what the user currently has installed. I use SwiftKey on my phone so I have the ability to use the Emoji's. If you are willing to put in the effort to create your own Emoji keyboard then toobsco42 has a great basic explanation of the process as well as a link to a repo that you can use.
i would say start by getting the font with all the unicode charset for your application and render them in an layout invoked on the button in your input field.
One of the website to create custom fonts : icomoon.io
Is there a way to load an app specific custom dictionary for android keyboard auto-complete to show to the users? My app uses a few hundred words only and any input other than these words is going to be useless.
I want to just load the word list used in my app and override the default android (or swype/swiftkey dictionaries if they are installed), without the hassle of implementing a full blown keyboard.
I have seen a couple of similar questions like here, but nothing that answers my question. Android IME again requires you to write a keyboard.
I think that make SQLite database in your application in your android application and load this data in the autocomplete and when the user entered the text then check that whether the word he entered lies in that database or not. If yes, then keep this in that textbox otherwise make text of that textbox empty i.e "". Hope that this will work for you....
So I would like to know how to create a dictionary, like the english/spanish ones that are included already on the phone. What I want to do is put the english and spanish one together so that users do not have to switch between them, and also add words that are products of combining english and spanish together to make a word. How could I do this? What do I need? And I want to create the dictionary used by the keyboard, not a keyboard.
Thanks in advance!
Take a look at this: http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/creating-input-method.html
For an example with support for multiple input types and text prediction you can also have a look at the LatinIME source code. The Android SDK also includes a SoftKeyboard sample too.
Hi I want to include word suggestions in my custom keyboard.
e.g if I write wi it should suggest me whether you want to write "winner" "winks" "wilson" etc
Please guide me.
Thanks
Here is the real answer to this question.
It was hard for me to find:
First you need to:
Add Words to Android's UserDictionary
By having the words in the dictionary, they will show up in suggestions.
If you want to exclusively show your words however, then something like the auto-complete dropdown idea is a better fit (that the other answers linked)
You can search for source code for android keyboard that are having this suggestion bars, i.e. download source for android gingerbread 2.3 keyboard source code, as android is opensource you can get the code easily.
