如何开发Android的软键盘?

我想玩一些想法,并开发Android的软键盘来取代默认的。

  • 有没有关于Android软键盘开发的一般信息? 任何最佳实践或指导方针?

  • 我可以使用我的键盘应用程序来处理一些正常的Android应用程序吗?

  • 我可以通过HTTP连接将键盘数据与云端数据库和其他手机进行同步吗?

  • 我是否可以通过按键打开其他窗口/屏幕,例如显示与正常QWERTY不同的自定义input界面。 如果这不起作用,我可以使用popup对话框吗?

一些技巧:

  • 阅读本教程: 创buildinput法
  • 克隆这个回购: LatinIME

关于你的问题:

inputMethod基本上是一个Android Service ,所以是的,你可以做HTTP和所有你可以在一个Service做的事情。

您可以从InputMethod打开Activities和对话框。 再次,这只是一个Service

我一直在开发一个IME,所以再问一次是否遇到问题。

开发人员文档提供的示例应用程序是一个很好的开始。

  • 指导方针应该是尽可能使其可用。 看看市场上的其他人,看看你应该瞄准什么
  • 是的,服务可以做大部分事情,包括互联网; 前提是您已经要求这些权限
  • 如果您在键盘上执行某些操作时遇到问题,您可以打开活动并执行任何您喜欢的操作。 例如HTC的键盘有一个打开设置活动的button,另一个打开一个对话框来更改语言。

看看其他IME,看看你应该瞄准什么。 有些(如官方的)是开源的。

在这篇文章中,我创build简单的键盘,其中包含一些特殊的键(法国键),它支持大写字母和小写字母和数字键和一些符号。

mBSpace.setOnClickListener(this); mBdone.setOnClickListener(this); mBack.setOnClickListener(this); mBChange.setOnClickListener(this); mNum.setOnClickListener(this); } } 

首先你应该定义一个.xml文件并在其中制作键盘UI:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Keyboard xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:keyWidth="12.50%p" android:keyHeight="7%p"> <!-- android:horizontalGap="0.50%p" android:verticalGap="0.50%p" NOTE When we add a horizontalGap in pixels, this interferes with keyWidth in percentages adding up to 100% NOTE When we have a horizontalGap (on Keyboard level) of 0, this make the horizontalGap (on Key level) to move from after the key to before the key... (I consider this a bug) --> <Row> <Key android:codes="-5" android:keyLabel="remove" android:keyEdgeFlags="left" /> <Key android:codes="48" android:keyLabel="0" /> <Key android:codes="55006" android:keyLabel="clear" /> </Row> <Row> <Key android:codes="49" android:keyLabel="1" android:keyEdgeFlags="left" /> <Key android:codes="50" android:keyLabel="2" /> <Key android:codes="51" android:keyLabel="3" /> </Row> <Row> <Key android:codes="52" android:keyLabel="4" android:keyEdgeFlags="left" /> <Key android:codes="53" android:keyLabel="5" /> <Key android:codes="54" android:keyLabel="6" /> </Row> <Row> <Key android:codes="55" android:keyLabel="7" android:keyEdgeFlags="left" /> <Key android:codes="56" android:keyLabel="8" /> <Key android:codes="57" android:keyLabel="9" /> </Row> 

在这个例子中你有4行,每行有3个键。 你也可以在你想要的每个键上放一个图标。

那么你应该在你的活动用户界面中添加xml标签,如下所示:

 <android.inputmethodservice.KeyboardView android:id="@+id/keyboardview1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="@color/white" android:focusable="true" android:focusableInTouchMode="true" android:visibility="visible" /> 

同样在.java活动文件中,您应该定义键盘并将其分配给EditText:

 CustomKeyboard mCustomKeyboard1 = new CustomKeyboard(this, R.id.keyboardview1, R.xml.horizontal_keyboard); mCustomKeyboard1.registerEditText(R.id.inputSearch); 

这个代码将inputSearch(这是一个EditText)分配给你的键盘。
