InputMethod

InputMethod

public InputMethod (AccessibilityService service)

Creates a new InputMethod instance for the given service, so that the accessibility service can control editing.

getCurrentInputConnection

public final InputMethod.AccessibilityInputConnection getCurrentInputConnection ()

Retrieve the currently active InputConnection that is bound to the input method, or null if there is none.

getCurrentInputEditorInfo

public final EditorInfo getCurrentInputEditorInfo ()

Get the EditorInfo which describes several attributes of a text editing object that an accessibility service is communicating with (typically an EditText).

getCurrentInputStarted

public final boolean getCurrentInputStarted ()

Whether the input has started.

onFinishInput

public void onFinishInput ()

Called to inform the accessibility service that text input has finished in the last editor. At this point there may be a call to onStartInput(android.view.inputmethod.EditorInfo, boolean) to perform input in a new editor, or the accessibility service may be left idle. This method is not called when input restarts in the same editor.

The default implementation uses the InputConnection to clear any active composing text; you can override this (not calling the base class implementation) to perform whatever behavior you would like.

onStartInput

public void onStartInput (EditorInfo attribute, 
                boolean restarting)

Called to inform the accessibility service that text input has started in an editor. You should use this callback to initialize the state of your input to match the state of the editor given to it.

onUpdateSelection

public void onUpdateSelection (int oldSelStart, 
                int oldSelEnd, 
                int newSelStart, 
                int newSelEnd, 
                int candidatesStart, 
                int candidatesEnd)

Called when the application has reported a new selection region of the text. This is called whether or not the accessibility service has requested extracted text updates, although if so it will not receive this call if the extracted text has changed as well.

Be careful about changing the text in reaction to this call with methods such as setComposingText, commitText or deleteSurroundingText. If the cursor moves as a result, this method will be called again, which may result in an infinite loop.
