So I have a question of how to open the keyboard that shows when the user clicks in an EditText.
I already found a way to open the speech recognizer using:
val intent = Intent(RecognizerIntent.ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH)
intent.putExtra(
RecognizerIntent.EXTRA_LANGUAGE_MODEL, RecognizerIntent.LANGUAGE_MODEL_FREE_FORM
)
startActivityForResult(intent, SPEECH_REQUEST_CODE)
But now I want to open the simple keyboard.
Already tried to create a working using a simple EditText and call requestFocus()
performClick()
to show the keyboard but without success.
Okay, so after a lot of digging and experimenting other apps while debugging, I found a way to open the keyboard. Couldn't find a way to customize it (inputType, imeActionType, etc) but atleast it opens.
To show the keyboard.
val intent = Intent("com.google.android.wearable.action.LAUNCH_KEYBOARD")
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE_KEYBOARD)
To get the value from the result that the user inserted, or not.
override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
when (requestCode) {
REQUEST_CODE_KEYBOARD -> {
val resultText: String = data?.extras?.getString("result_text") ?: ""
sendComment(resultText)
}
}
}
}
