Since: API Level

Additional features you can enable in an IME associated with an editor to improve the integration with your application. The constants here correspond to those defined by imeOptions.

Must be one or more (separated by '|') of the following constant values.

Constant	Value	Description
`normal`	0x00000000	There are no special semantics associated with this editor.
`actionUnspecified`	0x00000000	There is no specific action associated with this editor, let the editor come up with its own if it can. Corresponds to `IME_NULL`.
`actionNone`	0x00000001	This editor has no action associated with it. Corresponds to `IME_ACTION_NONE`.
`actionGo`	0x00000002	The action key performs a "go" operation to take the user to the target of the text they typed. Typically used, for example, when entering a URL. Corresponds to `IME_ACTION_GO`.
`actionSearch`	0x00000003	The action key performs a "search" operation, taking the user to the results of searching for the text the have typed (in whatever context is appropriate). Corresponds to `IME_ACTION_SEARCH`.
`actionSend`	0x00000004	The action key performs a "send" operation, delivering the text to its target. This is typically used when composing a message. Corresponds to `IME_ACTION_SEND`.
`actionNext`	0x00000005	The action key performs a "next" operation, taking the user to the next field that will accept text. Corresponds to `IME_ACTION_NEXT`.
`actionDone`	0x00000006	The action key performs a "done" operation, closing the soft input method. Corresponds to `IME_ACTION_DONE`.
`flagNoExtractUi`	0x10000000	Used to specify that the IME does not need to show its extracted text UI. For input methods that may be fullscreen, often when in landscape mode, this allows them to be smaller and let part of the application be shown behind. Though there will likely be limited access to the application available from the user, it can make the experience of a (mostly) fullscreen IME less jarring. Note that when this flag is specified the IME may not be set up to be able to display text, so it should only be used in situations where this is not needed. Corresponds to `IME_FLAG_NO_EXTRACT_UI`.
`flagNoAccessoryAction`	0x20000000	Used in conjunction with a custom action, this indicates that the action should not be available as an accessory button when the input method is full-screen. Note that by setting this flag, there can be cases where the action is simply never available to the user. Setting this generally means that you think showing text being edited is more important than the action you have supplied. Corresponds to `IME_FLAG_NO_ACCESSORY_ACTION`.
`flagNoEnterAction`	0x40000000	Used in conjunction with a custom action, this indicates that the action should not be available in-line as a replacement for the "enter" key. Typically this is because the action has such a significant impact or is not recoverable enough that accidentally hitting it should be avoided, such as sending a message. Note that `TextView` will automatically set this flag for you on multi-line text views. Corresponds to `IME_FLAG_NO_ENTER_ACTION`.

This corresponds to the global attribute resource symbol imeOptions.
