Hello all! I am building a custom view and would like to pragmatically display the default on-screen input method (if any) when certain conditions are met. Due to some specific features of the view I am not able to reuse the TextView and EditText views with all the functionality already present. The idea was to simply display the keyboard and capture the keypress events in the view.
inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService ( Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE ); inputMethodManager.showSoftInput ( editorView, InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED ); While the approach seems to work with EditText I was not able to show the on-screen keyboard ( showInputMethodPicker () seems to work ). While browsing the TextView source code I came across the following method: @Override public InputConnection onCreateInputConnection(EditorInfo outAttrs) that (basically) returns InputConnection ic = new EditableInputConnection(this); I was not able to find the class EditableInputConnection in the documentation or in the source code. I would appreciate any kind of advice on how to show the on screen keyboard and how to properly register my view so it can receive the keypress events. Many Thanks, Martin S. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
