How to show keyboard like this by default on android ionic5 app?
I've tried type="number" but it only allows to input numbers. On ios it shows full keyboard with this type.
By default, I mean to show it immediately after user clicks on the input
You need to use inputmode and not type as per the documentation.
Try this type of input, it works for me
<ion-input type="text"></ion-input>
No, you can't. In face, you can't even be sure the keyboard has a screen like that on Android. On Android, the keyboard is a separate app, and not all OEMs use the same one (and the user can also switch it out themselves). You can set the input type as a hint for what it should display- but it can ignore that hint. And the hints are very generic- text, email, number, password, things like that. There's no hint that says "symbols screen" and not every keyboard has a screen line that. And I don't know of any hint that commonly maps to that either.
In my android application I used EditText to take text input from user.
I want that EditText only accept selective characters, for that in xml file I mentioned following property for EditText.
android:digits="#string/customDigits"
and customDigits is mentioned in strings.xml
<string name="customDigits">\u0022;\u005C;&<>\ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789!#$%\'()*+,-./:;=?#[]_`{};|~^"*"</string>
I gave multilanguage support for my android applicaton.
When I choose languages like FRENCH,GERMAN,SPANISH and EditText is in focus then it shows proper English keyboard as shown :-
But when I select JAPANESE language and EditText is in focus then it shows Japanes keyboard as shown :-
But I want to show English keyboard by default.
Kindly provide me solution.
You can try
input.setRawInputType(Configuration.KEYBOARD_QWERTY);
But from UX perspective I'd say there's nothing you should be "fixing" here. If user decides he wants Japanese, he gets Japanese. You expect certain characters but it's nothing to do with user language settings nor what type of keyboard he uses. It's none of your interest really - just reject his input if it is failing and ensure that error message (or UI) clearly indicates you expect ASCII (or whatever) to be entered in that EditText.
It may be too late, I'm facing the same issue as you.
I came up with solution imeOptions="flagForceAscii and the keyboard displaying Roman alphabet characters as first priority.
Hope it can help in somehow.

In Android webview simple html file with password input textbox loaded. While typing in that textbox, suggestions are displayed. That's typing D in textbox suggestions like (demo, etc) showed but the textbox having dot's like characters. How to fix this issue?
I think this is problem with device settings ,So try the below steps might be useful
Go to the settings app and scroll down to language and input. In the line for device keyboard at the far right there is an icon for settings. If you tap the icon features for the devicekeyboard will come up. One of those features will be for predictive typing. You can either slide the switch to the off position or tap the row for customization.
I have some edit boxes in my app, some of them I will input English text, some of them I will input Spanish.
I'm using the standard android soft keyboard, however as my device locale is set to English, when I type Spanish in one of my "Spanish" edit boxes, the English corrective text/predictive text makes this difficult.
The only workaround I've found, is to go into the device settings and change the language over, but this is quite annoying.
Is there anyway I could have some kind of button, that when clicked would dynamically change the soft keyboards language setting? Is this exposed via any Intents?

Try to slide your finger across the spacebar on your keyboard to change languages.

No, sorry.
However, you can use textNoSuggestions with your android:inputType attribute on the EditText to try to get rid of the suggestions.
In the main phone settings you can choose input languages and then you can swipe the space bar to switch.
Writing a dictionary application for android.
Want to set translation direction in accord with current input language (to be more precise, language of letters displayed on soft keyboard). For example, we got language pair English-French. What I want is, when user inputs English letters (English keyboard layout displayed) translation direction is straight, and when keyboard layout changes to French, translation direction also changes to inverted.
So, question is: is there any event in an android Input Method Framework, which allows to track this layout changing. If there is not, maybe there is some standard tricks to do what I need?
Thanks in advance,
Alex
As far as I investigated there was no way to do that. So I made a custom keyboard to send a custom event (InputType) to my dictionary application.
