Class Overview

This is the key listener for typing normal text. It delegates to other key listeners appropriate to the current keyboard and language.

As for all implementations of KeyListener, this class is only concerned with hardware keyboards. Software input methods have no obligation to trigger the methods in this class.

	TextKeyListener(TextKeyListener.Capitalize cap, boolean autotext) Creates a new TextKeyListener with the specified capitalization and correction properties.

Public Methods

int	getInputType()
static TextKeyListener	getInstance() Returns a new or existing instance with no automatic capitalization or correction.
static TextKeyListener	getInstance(boolean autotext, TextKeyListener.Capitalize cap) Returns a new or existing instance with the specified capitalization and correction properties.
boolean	onKeyDown(View view, Editable content, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) Handles presses of the meta keys.
boolean	onKeyOther(View view, Editable content, KeyEvent event) Base implementation handles ACTION_MULTIPLE KEYCODE_UNKNOWN by inserting the event's text into the content.
boolean	onKeyUp(View view, Editable content, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) Handles release of the meta keys.
void	onSpanAdded(Spannable s, Object what, int start, int end) This method is called to notify you that the specified object has been attached to the specified range of the text.
void	onSpanChanged(Spannable s, Object what, int start, int end, int st, int en) This method is called to notify you that the specified object has been relocated from the range `ostart…oend` to the new range `nstart…nend` of the text.
void	onSpanRemoved(Spannable s, Object what, int start, int end) This method is called to notify you that the specified object has been detached from the specified range of the text.
void	release()
static boolean	shouldCap(TextKeyListener.Capitalize cap, CharSequence cs, int off) Returns whether it makes sense to automatically capitalize at the specified position in the specified text, with the specified rules.

From class android.text.method.MetaKeyKeyListener

static long	adjustMetaAfterKeypress(long state) Call this method after you handle a keypress so that the meta state will be reset to unshifted (if it is not still down) or primed to be reset to unshifted (once it is released).
static void	adjustMetaAfterKeypress(Spannable content) Call this method after you handle a keypress so that the meta state will be reset to unshifted (if it is not still down) or primed to be reset to unshifted (once it is released).

void	clearMetaKeyState(View view, Editable content, int states)
long	clearMetaKeyState(long state, int which) Clears the state of the specified meta key if it is locked.
final static int	getMetaState(CharSequence text) Gets the state of the meta keys.
final static int	getMetaState(long state, int meta) Gets the state of a particular meta key.
final static int	getMetaState(long state) Gets the state of the meta keys.
final static int	getMetaState(CharSequence text, int meta) Gets the state of a particular meta key.
static long	handleKeyDown(long state, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) Handles presses of the meta keys.
static long	handleKeyUp(long state, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) Handles release of the meta keys.
static boolean	isMetaTracker(CharSequence text, Object what) Returns true if this object is one that this class would use to keep track of any meta state in the specified text.
static boolean	isSelectingMetaTracker(CharSequence text, Object what) Returns true if this object is one that this class would use to keep track of the selecting meta state in the specified text.
boolean	onKeyDown(View view, Editable content, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) Handles presses of the meta keys.
boolean	onKeyUp(View view, Editable content, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) Handles release of the meta keys.
static void	resetLockedMeta(Spannable content) Call this if you are a method that ignores the locked meta state (arrow keys, for example) and you handle a key.
static long	resetLockedMeta(long state) Call this if you are a method that ignores the locked meta state (arrow keys, for example) and you handle a key.
static void	resetMetaState(Spannable text) Resets all meta state to inactive.

From class java.lang.Object

Object	clone() Creates and returns a copy of this `Object`.
boolean	equals(Object o) Compares this instance with the specified object and indicates if they are equal.
