Framework classes for interaction between views and input methods (such
as soft keyboards). See
InputMethodManager
for
an overview. In most cases the main classes here are not needed for
most applications, since they are dealt with for you by
TextView
. When implementing a custom text editor,
however, you will need to implement the
InputConnection
class to allow the current
input method to interact with your view.
Interfaces
InputConnection |
The InputConnection interface is the communication channel from an
InputMethod back to the application that is receiving its input. |
InputMethod |
The InputMethod interface represents an input method which can generate key
events and text, such as digital, email addresses, CJK characters, other
language characters, and etc., while handling various input events, and send
the text back to the application that requests text input. |
InputMethod.SessionCallback |
|
InputMethodSession |
The InputMethodSession interface provides the per-client functionality
of InputMethod that is safe to expose to applications. |
InputMethodSession.EventCallback |
|
Classes
BaseInputConnection |
Base class for implementors of the InputConnection interface, taking care
of most of the common behavior for providing a connection to an Editable. |
CompletionInfo |
Information about a single text completion that an editor has reported to
an input method. |
CorrectionInfo |
Information about a single text correction that an editor has reported to
an input method. |
EditorInfo |
An EditorInfo describes several attributes of a text editing object
that an input method is communicating with (typically an EditText), most
importantly the type of text content it contains. |
ExtractedText |
Information about text that has been extracted for use by an input method. |
ExtractedTextRequest |
Description of what an input method would like from an application when
extract text from its input editor. |
InputBinding |
Information given to an InputMethod about a client connecting
to it. |
InputConnectionWrapper |
Wrapper class for proxying calls to another InputConnection. |
InputMethodInfo |
This class is used to specify meta information of an input method. |
InputMethodManager |
Central system API to the overall input method framework (IMF) architecture,
which arbitrates interaction between applications and the current input method. |
InputMethodSubtype |
This class is used to specify meta information of a subtype contained in an input method editor
(IME). |
