Android Custom Keyboard - How to get browsers InputType?
I am trying to create a custom Android keyboard (min API 16) with a keyboard for each type of input (e.g. plain text, numeric, email, url, etc.). I don't understand how to get the Browser's TextEditor InputType URL so that I can create a keyboard with an Access button.
@Override public void onStartInput(EditorInfo attribute, boolean restarting) {
super.onStartInput(attribute, restarting);
switch (attribute.inputType & InputType.TYPE_MASK_CLASS) {
case InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER:
case InputType.TYPE_CLASS_DATETIME:
case InputType.TYPE_CLASS_PHONE:
mCurKeyboard = symKeyboard_1;
break;
case InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_URI:
case InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_WEB_EDIT_TEXT:
case InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_EMAIL_ADDRESS:
case InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_EMAIL_SUBJECT:
case InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_POSTAL_ADDRESS:
case InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_WEB_EMAIL_ADDRESS:
mCurKeyboard = webKeyboard;
Log.d("debug", "web keyboard");
break;
case InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT:
mCurKeyboard = myKeyboard;
Log.d("debug", "text");
break;
default:
mCurKeyboard = myKeyboard;
Log.d("debug", "default");
break;
}
}
But I am still getting as InputType InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT
.
I think I have tried almost everything InputType
, but no one is trying to detect when I type in the URL textbox. I need a solution to find a TextEditor url input type.
BTW: How do I perform an action Access
or Go
in the browser via KeyEvent
passed to getCurrentInputConnection().sendKeyEvent()
?
Later Edit. Decision:
@Override public void onStartInput(EditorInfo attribute, boolean restarting) {
super.onStartInput(attribute, restarting);
switch (attribute.inputType & InputType.TYPE_MASK_CLASS) {
case InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER:
case InputType.TYPE_CLASS_DATETIME:
case InputType.TYPE_CLASS_PHONE:
currentKeyboard = numericKeyboard;
break;
case InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT:
int webInputType = attribute.inputType & InputType.TYPE_MASK_VARIATION;
if (webInputType == InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_URI ||
webInputType == InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_WEB_EDIT_TEXT ||
webInputType == InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_EMAIL_ADDRESS
|| webInputType == InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_WEB_EMAIL_ADDRESS) {
currentKeyboard = webKeyboard;
}else{
currentKeyboard = latinKeyboard;
}
break;
default:
currentKeyboard = latinKeyboard;
break;
}
}
@ ray20 said the answer for handling the "Access" action is "GO", this is for other editor actions:
private void handleAction(){
EditorInfo curEditor = getCurrentInputEditorInfo();
switch (curEditor.imeOptions & EditorInfo.IME_MASK_ACTION){
case EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE:
getCurrentInputConnection().performEditorAction(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE);
break;
case EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_GO:
getCurrentInputConnection().performEditorAction(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_GO);
break;
case EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT:
getCurrentInputConnection().performEditorAction(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_NEXT);
break;
case EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_SEARCH:
getCurrentInputConnection().performEditorAction(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_SEARCH);
break;
case EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_SEND:
getCurrentInputConnection().performEditorAction(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_SEND);
break;
default:
handleClose(); //method that hides the keyboard with no action performed
break;
}
}
