Android application with its own keyboard

Question

I'm working on application which deals with ancient language "Coptic language" which is not included in the android keyboard languages , so how to make private keyboard to the application ??

Answer 1

Well, there are some issues surrounding it. But generally you must be able to do it.

Recently I faced similar issue, in this question of mine.

First, you need to make sure to set the input method to the respective TextView. Or leave it as a service to be set in the system settings. The first option is better. But there is, of course, a limitation. The user won't be able to use any other keyboard of his liking while at this specific view.

Second, for specific implementation, you can see this tutorial.

Hope this helps.

P.S. There is one more hacky way, but it is not recommended.
