Is there an app to force the use of a certain IME for a given application?
For example I use Swype as my default keyboard, but it is quite annoying to use in the terminal or with ConnectBot.
Is there a way to force the default Android IME to programs like these?
As long as i know there is no way to do this :/
I use swype as my default keyboard too, but when it comes to typing emails, passwords, numbers, terminals, it sucks
/Dev
I think this might be done with Tasks... don't know for sure though.

I'm enjoying to write emails and sms's for compact HTC_IME keyboard with t9. But in browser I don't want to use t9 and compact keyboard. I like to use regular q keyboard without any prediction, also with internet forms,too.
Is there any chance or any program to according to the selected programs that change our preferences automatically?
Here's something that I think would really make many people's lives a lot easier!
CyanogenMod now supports many languages for the stock soft keyboard which is very nice. However when using the stock keyboard as the input method, when the keyboard is opened, it is only possible to type in English (as far as I'm aware). However using other input methods like AnySoftKeyboard it is possible to type in the currently used language (ASK even allows changing languages on the fly with Alt+Space)
But, many of these 3rd party keyboards are not thumb friendly and uncomfortable to use in On Screen Keyboard mode.
So a very useful thing would be a program that automatically sets the input method to a predefined option when the keyboard is opened/closed. So for example I open the keyboard and it auto changes to AnySoftKeyboard, then I close it and it changes back to stock keyboard.
Unfortunately I can't program but if anyone can make this I'm sure it'll be useful to many people.
Looks like I missed Keyboard Manager, very nice software that does this. Thank you ne0fhyk for making this.
Of course it would be nice if this was built-in into the CyanogenMod ROM for a more streamlined solution.
Mods can lock this if they wish

Hey there,
I wonder why it's so hard to implement something like a txt-import or a common user dictionary (which doesn't depend on each keyboard itself)!? Is there any way to import words to the gingerbread stock keyboard or to the go keyboard? Sometimes I simply can't switch to try different keyboard because I would have to retype all of my words again, which is a real pain. When I was a keyboard app developer, I would first implement a import function, which really should be easy to do... Or is there a hack way to somehow interfer with the data of a app and simply edit the data-files!?
Thanks!
how to get chinese input in android? I am new to android.
I just downloaded google input IME from market place and installed, it is enabled in settings(languages), but keyboard did not change in messages and browser input. why?
any other apps will work?
The default way to change input method has been changed in ICS. Instead of long pressing at any text entry field, In ICS you will see a small keyboard icon in the left corner from the status bar when the keyboard shows up, then you can pull the status bar down and change the input method from there.
Google Pinyin IME is average. Some better options are sogou input and touchpal input. Sogou does not support ICS at this moment. But touchpal V5 works flawlessly.
I actually set default keybord to google pinyin, but then I cannot enable default english keyboard. what if I want to try other chinese keyboard? is there a way to enable multiple keyboard?
What if I want stock ICS keyboard to have Chinese? Any way I can do that?
I really like the stock keyboard and I don't want to use third party keyboard if at all possible
Also looking for this option....Surely there must be a way to switch to hand written chinese input via the stock ICS keyboard right ??? I realise that 3rd party apps are available but they are all terrible IMHO. Looking for something similar to how iPhone handles Chinese input....any ideas / suggestions ?
i'm using penpower, it not made for ics, as the writing pad does not fit the whole bottom half of the screen, but it works.
updated, just installed the ics version.
google voice input is the best. i use HK traditional.

touchpal is good too. they got chinese pack and handwriting pack.
go to System Setting > Language & keyboard > System Language. Then, scroll down and check PinYin option. You can choose handwriting too.
Later, when you're at a text box you will can toggle between English and Chinese using a "EN" key at left side of your spacebar.

Chinese Input on Kindle Fire
Anybody know which Chinese IME works for Kindle Fire. I root it successfully. Try to install Google PinYin, but it say not compatible with your device. The download button even not available.
Thanks
Has anyone been able to change or update words in their user dictionary? I use the standard Samsung Keyboard, but I cannot find a setting for user dictionary anywhere. I can goto options for the samsung keyboard, but it will only learn from gmail, facebook, etc. Any help would be appreciated.
PS
The samsung keyboard letters are grayed out in language and input, but I can click on the cog next to it to get to settings.
I tried the Swype, but couldn't figure it out either so I went back to my trusty old SlideIt. Easy customizable dictionary + resize keyboard however you like + move keyboard to left or right side for one-handed typing + many more customizations, including how long you want to longhold a key to get the upper character (min. time is 0.1 sec!). Get the paid version. It's better.

Does it have the numbers separately set above the keyboard? Each of the keyboard I have looked at don't have this feature which keeps me using the stock keyboard.

Numbers are, like on a regular laptop/desktop chiclet keyboard, superscripted on the top row of keys (i.e. the qwerty row). So to access the #1, you longhold 'q'. In settings, you can adjust the longhold duration. Mine is set to 0.1 sec, which is so short a time that it is almost the same as having a dedicated #1 key. It's so quick that as I'm getting used to it, I've unintentionally typed the longhold characters quite a few times.

That's based on the older ICS keyboard. Notice on the note 2 with jellybean keyboard you get a separate set of number keys, allowing them to add even more special characters to the letter keys? Trying to retain that. Think I found a few new ones tho. Thx.
