Public methods

static boolean commitContent(InputConnection inputConnection, EditorInfo editorInfo, InputContentInfoCompat inputContentInfo, int flags, Bundle opts)

Calls commitContent API, in a backwards compatible fashion.

static InputConnection createWrapper(InputConnection inputConnection, EditorInfo editorInfo, InputConnectionCompat.OnCommitContentListener onCommitContentListener)

Creates a wrapper InputConnection object from an existing InputConnection and InputConnectionCompat.OnCommitContentListener that can be returned to the system.

Inherited methods

From class java.lang.Object

Constants

INPUT_CONTENT_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION

added in version 25.1.0
int INPUT_CONTENT_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION

When this flag is used, the editor will be able to request temporary access permissions to the content URI contained in the InputContentInfoCompat object, in a similar manner that has been recommended in Sharing Files.

Make sure that the content provider owning the Uri sets the grantUriPermissions attribute in its manifest or included the <grant-uri-permissions> tag.

Supported only on API >= 25.

On API <= 24 devices, IME developers need to ensure that the content URI is accessible only from the target application, for example, by generating a URL with a unique name that others cannot guess. IME developers can also rely on the following information of the target application to do additional access checks in their ContentProvider.

Constant Value: 1 (0x00000001)

Public methods

commitContent

added in version 25.1.0
boolean commitContent (InputConnection inputConnection, 
                EditorInfo editorInfo, 
                InputContentInfoCompat inputContentInfo, 
                int flags, 
                Bundle opts)

Calls commitContent API, in a backwards compatible fashion.

Parameters
inputConnection InputConnection: InputConnection with which commitContent API will be called

editorInfo EditorInfo: EditorInfo associated with the given inputConnection

inputContentInfo InputContentInfoCompat: content information to be passed to the editor

flags int: 0 or INPUT_CONTENT_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION

opts Bundle: optional bundle data. This can be null

Returns
boolean true if this request is accepted by the application, no matter if the request is already handled or still being handled in background

createWrapper

added in version 25.1.0
InputConnection createWrapper (InputConnection inputConnection, 
                EditorInfo editorInfo, 
                InputConnectionCompat.OnCommitContentListener onCommitContentListener)

Creates a wrapper InputConnection object from an existing InputConnection and InputConnectionCompat.OnCommitContentListener that can be returned to the system.

By returning the wrapper object to the IME, the editor can be notified by onCommitContent(InputContentInfoCompat, int, Bundle) when the IME calls commitContent(InputConnection, EditorInfo, InputContentInfoCompat, int, Bundle) and the corresponding Framework API that is available on API >= 25.

Parameters
inputConnection InputConnection: InputConnection to be wrapped

editorInfo EditorInfo: EditorInfo associated with the given inputConnection

onCommitContentListener InputConnectionCompat.OnCommitContentListener: the listener that the wrapper object will call

Returns
InputConnection a wrapper InputConnection object that can be returned to the IME

Throws
IllegalArgumentException when inputConnection, editorInfo, or onCommitContentListener is null
