I've made a keyboard for Android, and I want to disable the Android Keyboard to use only my keyboard. How can I do that?
thanks
If by "keyboard for Android", you mean an input method editor, you cannot "disable the Android Keyboard to use only my keyboard". Please allow the user to choose his or her own soft keyboard, which may or may not be yours.
This is how you can do disable softkeyboard.

I try with no luck to open the panel with emoji icons but cannot find if it is even possible on genymotion (?) Normally the input is from keyboard.

press alt in your real keyboard, you can see the option in Language and Input.
Go to Settings->Language and Input->Current Keyboard
Turn on the "Show Input Method" switch.
This will cause a keyboard to appear on the screen when you input text, just like the way android works on a device that doesn't have a hardware keyboard. You can use it to input emoji.
If there's a better way, or another way, I don't know about it.
I'm writing a GWT-Web app. Now we are testing this web app on our Android Tablet.
Android 4.2.2
Browser: Chrome 37.0.2062.117
And here is the problem, if we klick into a textbox the keyboard open as expected. But after typing in one or two letters the keyboard hides automaticly.
Then you have to change the text box to get the Keyboard shown again.
Does any one have an idea why this happen ?
Thanks

Virtual keyboard doesn't usually hide itself if window receives input focus, but try adding this to your code just to make sure.
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE);
I came to a big problem. I have my own custom keyboard. My goal is to use this keyboard in my other application.
First I tried to set this keyboard as a default device's keyboard programatically. I could do it through adb shell with no problem. But couldn't make it from app using Runtime.exec(). Unfortunately the device is not rooted.
I can use this keyboard when i enable it in settings and then set it as default input method, but I have to do it manually.
So now I would like to set this keyboard to all EditText's in my other application. Is this possible ? Thanks for any help.
Is this possible ?
No. The user gets to choose the input method editor, not you.
I want to use custom keyboard for my application, but I don't want to force the user to go into setting page to set my keyboard as the default keyboard.
What do I need to do to force my keyboard in my application?
Is there any chance to set soft keyboard as default programatically?
Fortunately, this is not possible, for obvious privacy and security reasons.
Using a card reader for a POS system that will be hooked into an android device. It seems to disable the android software keyboard while it is plugged in.
Is there a way to define whether or not to disable/enable the android keyboard per control or a way to circumvent the android soft keyboard being disabled?
Thanks,

((InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE))
.showSoftInput(editText, 0);
the above forces the soft keyboard to be visible. good luck
