Usage

Add a dependency to your build.gradle:

dependencies {
  compile 'com.github.vmota:roundsoftinputlib:0.9.0'
}

And enable databinding:

dataBinding {
 enabled = true
}

Basic

1. Start SoftInputActivity

  Intent intent = new Intent(this, SoftInputActivity.class);
  startActivityForResult(intent, SoftInputActivity.TEXT_INSERT_REQUEST);

2. Then get the inserted text 'onActivityResult' method

  if (requestCode == SoftInputActivity.TEXT_INSERT_REQUEST) {
		if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
			final String insertedText = data.getStringExtra(SoftInputActivity.INSERTED_TEXT_KEY_NAME);
			//do awesome stuff...
		}
	}

Customized

1. Pre insert text (useful for text edition)

	bundle.putString(SoftInputActivity.PRE_INSERTED_TEXT_KEY_NAME, mInputTextCustom.getText().toString());

2. Custom key characters

	intent.putExtra(SoftInputActivity.CUSTOM_CHAR_SET_KEY_NAME, "0123456789.");

3. Optimized for right handed use

  bundle.putBoolean(SoftInputActivity.RIGHT_HANDED_LAYOUT_KEY_NAME, true);
