Usage

  • Add repository dependency in root build.gradle:
allprojects {
	repositories {
		...
		maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
	}
}
  • Add library dependency in app build.gradle:
dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.Damercy:CustomKeyboard:2.0.0'
}
  • Add layout in resource file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    /* Other layout files*/

    <EditText android:id="@+id/etInput" 
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

    <dev.dayaonweb.openime.customkeyboard.Keyboard
        android:id="@+id/keyboard"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />

</RelativeLayout>
  • Setup the custom keyboard by passing the input connection of the corresponding edit text:
class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    private lateinit var inputEditText: EditText
    private lateinit var keyboard: Keyboard

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

        // hook views
        inputEditText = findViewById(R.id.etInput)
        keyboard = findViewById(R.id.keyboard)

        // prevent system keyboard from appearing when EditText is tapped
        inputEditText.showSoftInputOnFocus = false

        // pass the InputConnection from the EditText to the keyboard
        val inputConnection = inputEditText.onCreateInputConnection(EditorInfo())
        keyboard.setInputConnection(inputConnection)

    }
}
