I am using a English (U.S.) Windows XP laptop that has Eclipse (Helios-SR1) installed. I created an Android app that runs fine on the emulator and my Samsung Charge phone. However, I have one app screen that requests the user's name and email address. The input form is located on my website and I use the WebView function (and INTERNET permission) to capture the input data and store in a MySQL database table. The problem I am experiencing is that each character that I input (either using the Eclipse keyboard or laptop keyboard) is changed to an Oriental character (I think its Chinese). I don't understand why the input characters are changed.. WTF! I've been researching for the past 2 days and can't find a solution to make the input characters English (U.S.). I would appreciate any help in resolving this problem. Thanks ahead of time.
Regards,
Terry
change the input language in the emulator and disable the Japanse and Chines keyboard as if it were a real phone.
In android 1.6
go to Settings -> Locale & Text -> select locale
select English (US)
go to Settings -> Locale & Text
unselect the first option which has some Chinese (I think) characters and Japanese IME

Urdu/Arabic Text is scrambled every where in the operating system ever since I have updated my Huawei Honor 6x from Marshmallow to Nougat. Screenshot is attached. Even when i type the urdu text, incorrect text is typed.
There is no option in the OS to add Arabic language.
What can be the possible solution except downgrading?
Just follow above steps:
Download and install GO Keyboard from the Google Play Store
Open the app and follow the on-screen steps to enable and switch to GO Keyboard.

I hope this tutorial was helpful to those who want to type in Urdu on Android phones.
GO Keyboard is not the only app which allows you to type in Urdu. MultiLang Keyboard also has Urdu language support.
finally factory reset worked,
{SOLVED} Called huawei support, they suggested the following working solution. After the successful update, if user is facing this language related issue. Again Factory reset should be done wiping Internal Storage as well. (backup should be done before that if necessary) This solved problem.
After the update. Performing a reset again solved the issue.
Note: Please backup your data before doing so.
I have to create an Android application in which user can type in all Indian languages.
So for this I think to give user an link in my application from where user could download
IME from which he want to type in EditText. I think that it's better to provide user Panini Keypad App link so that user could download his native language IME.(As Panini Keypad is available in all Indian languages.)
But I have to test it in my emulator as well whether it's working or not. But Panini Keypad IME not works on emulator it gives blank boxes.
So please help me how do I type in my emulator as well using Panini keypad(Actually I am not having actual device on which I could test it).
I have successfully install Panini Keypad and also enable it in setting for typing.
This is a question re the android SIP (that's what we call it on WP7). Please see the clip at https://dl.dropbox.com/u/39662979/AndroidEmulator.png.
This is a demo app in the commonsware book on android development. It displays textboxes for longitude and latitude and shows a keyboard allowing the digits 0 - 9. * and # to be entered. Of course longitude often requires a negative number but how does one type the minus sign?? I've tried all of the other keys - I'm able to bring up other character sets but no minus sign.
The book shows a minus sign being entered but eluding me.
thanks,
Dean
Had a similar issue on my Galaxy S3:
The numeric keypad of the stock Samsung keyboard shows the digits 0 thru 9 plus one more key with a period and a minus sign combined: .-
Took me quite a while to find that the minus sign requires a double tap, not a long press.
It may be that your keyboard doesn't have the "-" due to your language setting. I'd recommend adding another keyboard (probably the US keyboard) via device Settings and switching to the US keyboard while you're testing.
That means the program is not working correctly
If you run the application on a device or emulator that is configured for English, there is a key, marked with what in English is referred to as a "minus sign" (upper-right button on keypad), that can negate the number typed into the EditText:
You will notice that, in your screenshot, the keyboard is different:
In part, this is because your emulator is not configured for English. It is configured for some other language. You can tell this because some of the keys have Chinese, Japanese, or some similar character set on them.
I do not know precisely what language your device or emulator is configured for. I do not know if one of those keys either is a negation, or leads to a secondary keyboard that offers negation. My guess is that the key in the lower left corner would switch to alternate keysets, but that is just a guess.
My recommendation would be for you to configure your emulator to be for a language that you speak. Then, perhaps the keyboard will be more intelligible to you.
i have followed tutorial Hello L10 in developer.android official website,but nothing regarding arabic.
what are the steps needed for an android application to be in arabic?
for eg,User can have either a combobox or radio button to choose from english or arabic.(i have done this).
Now if user selects arabic whole application characters should be converted in arabic.
even the keyboard presented should be in arabic?if i have to make custom keyboard for this?or any other way?
i dont have any idea.Any tutorial/demo ?.However i have googled around but not get specific material.
Any suggestion?
Users set their locale at the device level, through the Settings application. If their device supports Arabic -- some devices running Android 2.3 and 3.0 will -- then if your application has Arabic translations of its resources, the Arabic will appear. Also, the user will get an Arabic soft keyboard.
Other than providing Arabic translations for your strings, the rest is up to the user and their device.
I'm trying to add a new account in android 2.1 emulator. When I'm entering my password, I found it's impossible to input some symbols, such as #,$,&,*, except #. For example, while I press shift+7, only 7 is shown in the password textview.
Any suggestion?
Entering these special characters into the emulator works correctly for me (Linux, US International keyboard layout). Which platform are you using? Have you tried the emulator's on-screen keyboard?
Have you tried toggling the input method from alpha to numeric/symbol?
I had the same problem. On your phone, you have to ensure that the settings for the keyboard/locale match your computer settings. Find the Settings icon and go from there.
I couldn't enter special characters with the pop-up soft keyboard, the PC's hardware keyboard, or the gray keyboard to the right of the emulator window on 2.3.3 emulator (API10).
However, when I tried on the 4.0.3 (API15) emulator, the PC's hardware keyboard entered symbols without a problem. The gray keyboard to the right of the window would just repeat keys if I held them down to get to the symbols. The soft keyboard wasn't available on my configuration and I didn't spend any time trying to configure it to do so.
