Hi, a wanted to know if there is a way to set a custom activity (using anycut / launcher pro "activity" etc) to open the "input method" (the pop up when you long press a text field and select "input method" to change keyboards.
My intent is, actually to assign one of the "quick keys" to input method to quickly change keys. If seen that there is widget that enables this (using "power control plus" from the market), but I haven't been able to make a custom activity for this.
Running Dalvik Debug Manager, I think the command is something like
WARN/InputManagerService(1437): Window already focused, ignoring focus gain of: [email protected]
but I'm not well versed in android development to understand this.
Any help? Thanks in advance!

How many of you add the functionality to automatically open the input panel when focus changes to a text box etc? While this seems to be a user courtesy, I don't see it done often.

It's very comfortable to open the input panel and select the existing text by code so that the user can directly start with entering a new text. (instead of having to open the input panel and select the current text)
In addition the input panel could be closed when the user clicks the enter button.
Two issues with this rom:
A) can't get home switcher to stay loaded so that I can switch to Launcher Pro. Is there anyway around this?
B) Is there any way to get rid of the HTC embedded mod keyboard and use Swift Key? There is no setting under KEYBOARD which allows you to choose which keyboard to use?
Thanks, in Advance....

A) Ok do this presss menu>settings>applications>manage applications>press the "All" tab>Scroll down to HTC Sense and tap it> scroll down and select "clear defaults"> now from the Home button on your phone(looks like a house)>A Complete Action Using window should appear> Check the "Use by default for this action" button>then select launcher pro......Laucher pro should be your default launcher now.
B) under settings>Language & Keyboard. Check the box next to all the keyboards to enable them. now open a text or something where you need to type. tap & hold in the text field until the "Edit Text" window appears then select Input Method and then pick your poison....DONE.
Hope that answers your questions bud.
I have a widget (that was originally defined by another developer).
The menu on Long Press on this widget does not have an Edit option. But a Short Press gets me into the config pages and I can edit layout, etc… UNTIL I set a Widget OnTap Action. Once defined, of course, short pressing on the widget executes the OnTap Action, and I seemingly have no way to get back to the config pages.
Am I missing something? a) why is this particular widget lacking the “Edit” option in the Long Press menu, and b) without the edit menu, how can I enter config if I’m defined another OnTap Action?

Open Zooper from your app drawer, then select "Configure Widgets". You are presented with a list of widgets you currently have active (naming them helps a lot here!). Select one and you will get the widget edit screen for that widget.
I'm on the current 1.54.651.8 (well, a rooted version of it), and can't figure out how to change input methods, for example, to a 3rd-party keyboard.
It used to be, you'd long-press in an input field, and you'd get a prompt to select the input method.
Some say you should see a keyboard icon in the status-bar.
I don't get either of these. In settings / Language and keyboard, there's no obvious way to change the default device.
Long-press on the spacebar also does nothing (except to repeat space).
Is this maybe broken in this update? (Or in the BadSeed Rooted Stock 1.54.651.8 I'm running?)

If you get SwiftKey keyboard as you set it up it will say set as default might work
Hmm. Well, that worked.
The SwiftKey setup popped up the Choose Input Method dialog that I was looking for.
Then I selected Smart Keyboard as my input method.
I can't see uninstalling/reinstalling this every time I want to change the Input Method though.
Bring up a chat so your keyboard is open, then bring the notification bar down. There should be a keyboard listed, select the icon and choose your input method
Does anyone know how to make the "Complete Action Using" selection persistent after you select your desired (new default) application?
Even though I have selected my new application to complete an action, the window asking what application to select re-appears next time.
I had that on KitKat but not since Android L?
