android.view.inputmethod

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

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).
InputMethodSubtype.InputMethodSubtypeBuilder	InputMethodSubtypeBuilder is a builder class of InputMethodSubtype.
