Android TV Keyboard

A basic helper library with a keyboard layout to be used on TV apps

Download

Step 1. Add the JitPack repository to your build file

Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:

   allprojects {
      repositories {
         maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
      }
   }

Step 2. Add the dependency

   dependencies {
           implementation 'com.github.ramim94:androidTvKeyboard:1.0.3'
   }

Usage

Just put it in your activity/fragment xml like this:

<com.ramim94.tvkeyboard.TvKeyboardView
  android:padding="5dp"
  android:id="@+id/keyboard"
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  />

Create a reference in your java/kotlin code and add the OnSearchButtonPressedListener

keyboardView = findViewById(R.id.keyboard)
keyboardView.addOnSearchButtonPressedListener(this)

Use to callback to get the string from keyboard input:

override fun onSearchButtonPressed(queryString: String) {
    Log.d(TAG, "onSearchButtonPressed: $queryString")
    //process input text as you wish.
}
