Hallo,
I'm using a Rapoo Bluetooth Keyboard (qwertz) with my fire TV_Stick, unfortunatly the Stick only recognises an english Keyboard Layout (qwerty) because of this reason i sideloaded the App External Keyboard Helper
My Problem now is: to run this App, it needs to be enabled via Settings > Language and input (Android-OS) but i can't find those settings in Fire-OS.....

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
I got a Logitech Bluetooth Keyboard (K810), English keyboard layout, which I would like to use with my Android smartphone (LG G2). The pairing of the devices works fine, but I can't get it to display German language characters such as ö, ü, ä etc..
Those characters, however, work fine when I use the keyboard with a Windows-PC, after having changed the keyboard-language-settings in the OS.
Is there a way to do the same thing on Android?
In fact I would need to be able to toggle between the two languages (Eng & German), since I prefer to use the English-keyboard-layout when writing in English and the German one when writing in German. That's easy on Windows, just press the Windows-key together with Space, but how to do on Android?
Any idea how that could be accomplished? If toggle is not possible, then I would prefer to permanently change the keyboard input language on my LG G2 to German.
I had a similar problem. Updated my LG G2 to Android 5.0 but no help. I cannot find "Android keyboard" setting. I did find that on one of my tablets, and that one worked.
I installed External Keyboard Helper Demo (then Pro: 2.49 euros). It helped. Even then I had to select
Settings > Language and Input > Default (sp?) > External Keyboard Helper Pro (or Demo)
It is not enough to select EKH elsewhere, I had to be select EKH as the Default too before äö started to work.
How to get that "Android keyboard" option (not just "LG keyboard") without EKH?

Yes, I also got it working after I installed the full version.
However, I don´t fully understand your question from above. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
External keyboard layout without EKH application

If I have EKH keyboard as the default, I have to select LG keyboard as the default (which takes some time) to be able to use the phone without the external keyboard. Therefore, EKH does not seem to be very useful (it is almost worse than not having an external keyboard).
So I wish that when the external keyboard is not connected, the internal (virtual) keyboard should be usable (without that tedious manual selection). How to achieve that?
I believe that my external keyboard should work automatically and without EKH. Some other devices do find and use correctly my keyboard. They have the option "Android keyboard" besides "LG keyboard". I don't see the "Android keyboard" option anywhere.
Have you been able to pair your Logitech-keyboard with your phone using bluetooth?

If yes, you could simply set the normal keyboard at default and activate the Logitech-keyboard only when you need. This can be done easily by first activating the soft-keyboard by clicking into the text-filed. This will open the soft-keyboard. Then pull down the notification-bar and click on "Select keyboard" in order to change to the Logitech keyboard.
It is correct, it works also without External Keyboard Helper.
Hi,
has anyone achieved changing the keyboard layout of hardware keyboards without root?
I have a german(QWERTZ) variant of the Logitech K830 and unfortunately lots of keys are mapped incorrectly.
Already tried a couple of apps which claim to fix this problem but unfortunately none of them work.
Apps I have tried so far from Play Store:
RS - Hardware Keyboard Layouts
External Keyboard Helper DEMO
Swiftkey (sideloaded from my mobile) - just crashes while trying to do first run setup
Logitech Keyboard Plus - only supports BT keyboards which do not work at all without root on the FTV.
All of these apps either rely on the default android settings or a software keyboard which both are not available on the FTV.
Any hints?
I know it's a old post but https://exkeymo.herokuapp.com/ should help with external keyboard layout modification.
I am currently running CM 13.1 on my Tab S2 9.7 with an external Logitech Bluetooth keyboard. However, it seems that several of the function keys at the top of the keyboard do not seem to be associated with any action.
How do I make sure I have the correct keyboard layout file for this keyboard installed?
Also, is it possible to redefine the external keyboard between different languages? E.g. English, German, pinyin for typing Chinese etc.?

How do other users type in e.g. German, French or Chinese (pinyin) using an external keyboard attached to the Tab S2? Is it at all possible or do you have to use an on-screen keyboard?
Hi,
I have a new TCL C715 running AndroidTV 9 and a german Logitech K380 bluetooth keyboard.
I can pair my keybord with the TV and it works, however it always behaves as if an american layout would be used, but I want to use a german layout.
This happens regardless of which language the TV is set to and there are no options to change the keyboard layout.
I have now tried to use the "External keyboard helper" app but even when I use that and set the layout to german in the app, the keyboard bahaves as if it were an american one.
Is there anyhing I could try to get a german layout?
Many thanks!
