Hmmm... I'm not sure if what I really want is to extend another app. Basically, I have a customized IME that is loosely based on the Android API Demo SoftKeyboard. In this custom IME, I want to launch a translucent Activity that holds a few widgets (like Buttons and TextViews) as my InputView. In other words, instead of using the usual KeyboardView as the InputView, I will be displaying the translucent Activity to serve as my on-screen keyboard.
Because only a portion of the translucent Activity actually holds the widgets, I wish to let touch events in any part of the translucent Activity that is not a part of the so-called on-screen keyboard to pass through to the Activity that is behind it. To do this, I will have to invoke dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) method of the Activity that is behind my translucent Activity. This is the reason why I want to get a reference to the Activity that launches my IME. Is there an alternative way to the end-goal I plan to do?
