InputMethodService

AbstractInputMethodService provides a abstract base class for input methods. Normal input method implementations will not derive from this directly, instead building on top of InputMethodService or another more complete base class. Be sure to read InputMethod for more information on the basics of writing input methods.

This class combines a Service (representing the input method component to the system with the InputMethod interface that input methods must implement. This base class takes care of reporting your InputMethod from the service when clients bind to it, but provides no standard implementation of the InputMethod interface itself. Derived classes must implement that interface.

Summary

Nested classes
`class`	`AbstractInputMethodService.AbstractInputMethodImpl` Base class for derived classes to implement their `InputMethod` interface.
`class`	`AbstractInputMethodService.AbstractInputMethodSessionImpl` Base class for derived classes to implement their `InputMethodSession` interface.

`abstract void`	`unregisterReceiver(BroadcastReceiver receiver)` Unregister a previously registered BroadcastReceiver.

From class

`Object`	`clone()` Creates and returns a copy of this object.
`boolean`	`equals(Object obj)` Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
`void`	`finalize()` Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.
`final Class<?>`	`getClass()` Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
`int`	`hashCode()` Returns a hash code value for the object.

getKeyDispatcherState

Added in API level 5

KeyEvent.DispatcherState getKeyDispatcherState ()

Return the global KeyEvent.DispatcherState for used for processing events from the target application. Normally you will not need to use this directly, but just use the standard high-level event callbacks like onKeyDown(int, KeyEvent).

Returns
`KeyEvent.DispatcherState`

onBind

Added in API level 3

IBinder onBind (Intent intent)

Return the communication channel to the service. May return null if clients can not bind to the service. The returned IBinder is usually for a complex interface that has been described using aidl.

Note that unlike other application components, calls on to the IBinder interface returned here may not happen on the main thread of the process. More information about the main thread can be found in Processes and Threads.

Parameters
`intent`	`Intent`: The Intent that was used to bind to this service, as given to `Context.bindService`. Note that any extras that were included with the Intent at that point will not be seen here.

Returns
`IBinder`	Return an IBinder through which clients can call on to the service.

onCreateInputMethodInterface

Added in API level 3

AbstractInputMethodService.AbstractInputMethodImpl onCreateInputMethodInterface ()

Called by the framework during initialization, when the InputMethod interface for this service needs to be created.

Returns
`AbstractInputMethodService.AbstractInputMethodImpl`

onCreateInputMethodSessionInterface

Added in API level 3

AbstractInputMethodService.AbstractInputMethodSessionImpl onCreateInputMethodSessionInterface ()

Called by the framework when a new InputMethodSession interface is needed for a new client of the input method.

Returns
`AbstractInputMethodService.AbstractInputMethodSessionImpl`

onGenericMotionEvent

Added in API level 17

boolean onGenericMotionEvent (MotionEvent event)

Implement this to handle generic motion events on your input method.

Parameters
`event`	`MotionEvent`: The motion event being received.

Returns
`boolean`	True if the event was handled in this function, false otherwise.

See also:

ERROR(/View#onGenericMotionEvent)

onTrackballEvent

Added in API level 3

boolean onTrackballEvent (MotionEvent event)

Implement this to handle trackball events on your input method.

Parameters
`event`	`MotionEvent`: The motion event being received.

Returns
`boolean`	True if the event was handled in this function, false otherwise.

See also:

ERROR(/View#onTrackballEvent)

dump

Added in API level 3

void dump (FileDescriptor fd, 
                PrintWriter fout, 
                String[] args)

Implement this to handle Binder.dump() calls on your input method.

Parameters
`fd`	`FileDescriptor`: The raw file descriptor that the dump is being sent to.
`fout`	`PrintWriter`: The PrintWriter to which you should dump your state. This will be closed for you after you return.
`args`	`String`: additional arguments to the dump request.
