I have my own virtual key board application..I want to use it whenever there is an edittext field appears in the window..for eg, when i log in to gmail i want to enter my username and password through my virtual keyboard app..Any help would be appreciated..
This is so simple in Android.
Check this out..
EditText editText=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);
editText.setInputType(0);
Thats it. The Android's Virtual keypad will not pop up for this EditText.
About switch current IME to yours:
You have to install your IME app first.
If no, that is maybe another problem.
Settings --> Language and Keyboard --> your IME should be there
and turn on the check box.

I need to open android text keyboard that starts from numpad. I would like to access both numpad and alphabetical characters in same keyboard like android:inputType="text". But, I want to see numpad part first (like in picture) when keyboard opened.
As far as I know, there is no InputType option that obtain this result.
I found this answer that shows how to use privateImeOptions to change soft keyboard settings but couldn't find further information.
Is there any way to achieve this?
Thanks
I have downloaded the device on genymotion that is HTC One - 4.4.4 - API-19. The problem is that the soft keyboard is not appearing at all. I have tried with the ime coding as
edPost.requestFocus();
imm.showSoftInput(edPost, 0);
Then I thought may be I am mistaking somewhere in my code. I have checked the default message app of this device where I can't see the soft keyboard to type the message or destination number. Even anywhere the keyboard may appear I can't see it at all. Please help me with any kind of knowledge about this problem. Thanks in advance.
checkmark use virtual keyboard for text input from genymotion device setting.
see attached image.
Goto Settings --> Language & Input --> Current Keyboard
Here in this dialog Turn On the "Hardware" Toggle button.
Sorry Tejas, it is not the correct answer. I have unchecked the "use virtual keyboard for text input" as you have attached on image and still able to display the soft keyboard by this way. See the below image
Thanks.
I have an android app that uses an EditText with android:inputType="number"
when the edittext first displays the softkeyboard appears with only numerics enabled (you can still see the other keys though.
The EditText also has android:digits="0123456789\n" as I want the users to be able to enter multiple lines
As soon as I hit the ENTER key to create another line the numeric keys disappear.
How can I...
a). Only show a numeric keyboard (with Enter key) e.g. just 0123456789?
b). Stop the softkeyboard showing all the other keys?
You want a multiline EditText and numeric keyboard? Seems possible, but deprecated. Check out this answer.
Update:
If everything fails, try to enforce the numeric type every time a line break is inserted:
editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER);
Found a solution
by employing
android:digits="0123456789\n"
android:inputType="phone|textMultiLine"
I obtain the desired effect.
Try this
editTextField.setRawInputType(Configuration.KEYBOARD_QWERTY);
This shows the normal key pad with the numeric version first, yet allows you to switch between them.
getInput.setRawInputType(Configuration.KEYBOARD_12KEY);
I'm working on an Android app and at the front there's a login page. The Android keyboard often interrupts the users input and corrects their username to something else. It's possible for the user to just persevere and input their username but it can take a few tries. Is there a way to stop the keyboard from automatically correcting the user's input whilst entering text into that specific field?
You can try the following:
EditText etUsername = ............;
etUsername.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS);
To do this in xml, add this to your EditText:
android:inputType="textNoSuggestions"
android:inputType="textVisiblePassword" works for me for this problem. This will take away any suggestion from the android keypad when typing.
I need to get virtual keyboard like that contains all numbers
maybe through android:keyboard
i also need a keyboard that contains all alphabets only
As far as i know, there is no "only alphabet" keyboard is available using android:keyboard. But what you can do is
1) Restrict input of numbers by manually putting a validation in your edittext field.
2) You can create your own virtual keyboard. This link contains some information for the purpose.
