I am looking into creating custom keyboard for Android, but I would like to have the application work for the api 7 and higher. The example on the android site of SoftKeyboard: http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/SoftKeyboard/index.html utilizes InputMethodSubtype, which is not supported until api 11. Is there a way around using this method? Are there any known tutorials for api 7 – ish?
Thanks
There are samples for almost all api levels in your sdk folder
where X is an API level.
This includes a soft keyboard sample for API level 7.
You may have to install the samples first though, you can do that via the SDK manager.
