The symbols are now smaller for Shift, Space, Backspace, Delete and
some keys on the bottom row.
The previous rule was to make the text smaller for symbols made of
several characters.
This is changed to a flag approach.
Use the height of the row currently being rendered instead of the base
row size.
Concretely, the bottom row is slightly smaller and will get slightly
smaller text.
Also:
- Rewrite the label rendering code
- Render labels at the middle of the key (was slightly off)
Instead of a fixed size that don't work at all for bigger screens.
Other tweaks:
- Use the value-land dimens to vary 'extra_horizontal_margin'
- Move label size to Config, because it can change at runtime (rotation)
- Slightly decrease the size of "long" symbols
Before sending a key event while modifiers are active, send events for
the modifier keys.
Some applications don't look at the "metaState" flags but instead keep
track of the up and down events for the modifiers.
For example, the basic text views that are in every applications
correctly handle the "metaState" flags except for one binding:
Selecting text with the arrows while pressing shift.
Change the formula: don't use an external constant, add a state.
It's now the ratio between where the finger is at the first repeat and
where it is now.
Keep the repeat going when swiping into an other key. Currently only for
arrows: It's now possible to go from an arrow to an other without
waiting again for the key repeat timeout.
The backspace and delete keys don't work well with this.
Show these characters only for users that have the corresponding locale
installed (a supported eu language for €, en-GB for £).
Add these characters to most layouts.
Depending on the pixel density isn't ideal for a keyboard, which would
render differently depending on the "scaling" accessibility option.
Landscape mode needs a special values. At the same time, increase the
horizontal margin when landscape.
Add a new boolean parameter "edgekeys" for defining keys that have the
additional (swipe) keys on the edges (top, right, left, bottom) instead
of at the corners (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right).
Currently using the diamond symbol like the history meta key: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meta_key
However, this key is actually interpreted as the Super/Windows key but
Android calls it "meta" internally.
There were two problems:
- The Action key was swapped when it shouldn't be. The flag
'IME_FLAG_NO_ENTER_ACTION' wasn't interpreted correctly for inputs
that specified both an action and this flag.
- The value 'IME_ACTION_UNSPECIFIED' should remove the Action key.
A customised Latvian specific QWERTY layout (QWERTY (Latvian)) was added
to access all Latvian diacritic characters with a swipe.
Additionally caron, cedille and macron accents were enabled for this
layout.
'keyVerticalInterval' was mistakenly used to compute the height of the
keyboard and the vertical position of keys.
While the code handling pointers did not use this value, the hit box of
the bottom row was shifted by several pixels.
Make sure 'keyVerticalInterval' is only used for rendering and not for
placing the keys.
It is placed on the top-right of the enter key on every layouts.
It sends a special event (performEditorAction) instead of writing a
newline.
The "actionId" is passed through the EditorInfo object in an obfuscated
way so it's not clear whether it's using the right one.
Add a "Theme" option to choose between a dark and light theme.
The light theme uses the colors of the dark theme with the luminance
inversed.
The reloading after a configuration change is changed slightly:
- Special handling is needed when the Theme is changed (recreate the views)
- The default implementation of 'onConfigurationChanged' is used
Which triggers more refresh (but don't recreate the views)
- 'onCreateInputView' is no longer needed
API level 12 is required for "subtype" code introduced in 1.7.
This adds a fallback for older version, "subtype" features are not
available but the keyboard is usable.
Changet he minimal version to 4 to be able to query the API level.
Using integer constant for versions because that's how it's presented in
the documentation. Build.VERSION_CODES is WTF.
This replaces the "disable accent keys" checkbox.
The default should work for anyone: Accents will be hidden unless the
user has the french language installed.
The value "show every accents" is useful for versions of android that
don't have subtypes.
Fixes:
- Toggling off a modifier was not possible in the corners (eg. accents).
- Modifiers on the same key can't be activated at the same time.
- Characters on the same key as a modifier weren't working properly.
KeyValue defines an ADT and some of its values, it now contains public
final fields and no internal logic.
KeyModifier handles modifiers and accents and creates new instances of
KeyValue when needed.
This operation is now properly cached.
Remove the use of [getIdentifier] because it requires the current
package name to be passed, which can't be found reliably since the
change in build system.
