Writing to EditText using gestures

Anyone knew anything about gesture writing? Using it as an alternative input method instead of the keyboard.

It would be great if I had some kind of lib that I could use, or some kind of tutorial to include this functionality in my project.

Start simple and gradually maintain more complex input

When I get to a complex topic like handwriting recognition, I try to break it down into a list of simple tasks. If one of the tasks is too difficult, then postpone this task again. Follow cyclical research, try a new idea and improve it.

My list to break down this project:

  • learn how to do simple gesture detection ( tutorial 1 , tutorial 2 ) ( tutorial 3 from @ jmunoz's answer)
  • create an app that recognizes individual letters separately
  • put letters in words (maybe adding a letter after MotionEvent.ACTION_UP

    )
  • recognize whole written words (this is already possible in Chinese, I thought I had not seen it in English).
