InputType

TYPE_CLASS_DATETIME

static val TYPE_CLASS_DATETIME: Int

Class for dates and times. It supports the following variations: TYPE_DATETIME_VARIATION_NORMAL TYPE_DATETIME_VARIATION_DATE, and TYPE_DATETIME_VARIATION_TIME.

Value: 4

TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER

static val TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER: Int

Class for numeric text. This class supports the following flags: TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_SIGNED and TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_DECIMAL. It also supports the following variations: TYPE_NUMBER_VARIATION_NORMAL and TYPE_NUMBER_VARIATION_PASSWORD.

IME authors: If you do not recognize the variation, normal should be assumed.

Class for a phone number. This class currently supports no variations or flags.

Value: 3

TYPE_CLASS_TEXT

static val TYPE_CLASS_TEXT: Int

Class for normal text. This class supports the following flags (only one of which should be set): TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_CHARACTERS, TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_WORDS, and. TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_SENTENCES. It also supports the following variations: TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_NORMAL, and TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_URI. If you do not recognize the variation, normal should be assumed.

Value: 1

TYPE_DATETIME_VARIATION_DATE

static val TYPE_DATETIME_VARIATION_DATE: Int

Default variation of TYPE_CLASS_DATETIME: allows entering only a date.

Value: 16

TYPE_DATETIME_VARIATION_NORMAL

static val TYPE_DATETIME_VARIATION_NORMAL: Int

Default variation of TYPE_CLASS_DATETIME: allows entering both a date and time.

Value: 0

TYPE_DATETIME_VARIATION_TIME

static val TYPE_DATETIME_VARIATION_TIME: Int

Default variation of TYPE_CLASS_DATETIME: allows entering only a time.

Value: 32

TYPE_MASK_CLASS

static val TYPE_MASK_CLASS: Int

Mask of bits that determine the overall class of text being given. Currently supported classes are: TYPE_CLASS_TEXT, TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER, TYPE_CLASS_PHONE, TYPE_CLASS_DATETIME.

IME authors: If the class is not one you understand, assume TYPE_CLASS_TEXT with NO variation or flags.

Value: 15

TYPE_MASK_FLAGS

static val TYPE_MASK_FLAGS: Int

Mask of bits that provide addition bit flags of options.

Value: 16773120

TYPE_MASK_VARIATION

static val TYPE_MASK_VARIATION: Int

Mask of bits that determine the variation of the base content class.

Value: 4080

TYPE_NULL

static val TYPE_NULL: Int

Special content type for when no explicit type has been specified. This should be interpreted to mean that the target input connection is not rich, it can not process and show things like candidate text nor retrieve the current text, so the input method will need to run in a limited "generate key events" mode, if it supports it. Note that some input methods may not support it, for example a voice-based input method will likely not be able to generate key events even if this flag is set.

Value: 0

TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_DECIMAL

static val TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_DECIMAL: Int

Flag of TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER: the number is decimal, allowing a decimal point to provide fractional values.

Value: 8192

TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_SIGNED

static val TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_SIGNED: Int

Flag of TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER: the number is signed, allowing a positive or negative sign at the start.

Value: 4096

TYPE_NUMBER_VARIATION_NORMAL

static val TYPE_NUMBER_VARIATION_NORMAL: Int

Default variation of TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER: plain normal numeric text. This was added in android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#HONEYCOMB. An IME must target this API version or later to see this input type; if it doesn't, a request for this type will be dropped when passed through EditorInfo.makeCompatible(int).

Value: 0

TYPE_NUMBER_VARIATION_PASSWORD

static val TYPE_NUMBER_VARIATION_PASSWORD: Int

Variation of TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER: entering a numeric password. This was added in android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES#HONEYCOMB. An IME must target this API version or later to see this input type; if it doesn't, a request for this type will be dropped when passed through EditorInfo.makeCompatible(int).

Value: 16

TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_AUTO_COMPLETE

static val TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_AUTO_COMPLETE: Int

Flag for TYPE_CLASS_TEXT: the text editor (which means the application) is performing auto-completion of the text being entered based on its own semantics, which it will present to the user as they type. This generally means that the input method should not be showing candidates itself, but can expect the editor to supply its own completions/candidates from InputMethodSession.displayCompletions() as a result of the editor calling InputMethodManager.displayCompletions(). Note the contrast with TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_AUTO_CORRECT and TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS: TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_AUTO_COMPLETE means the editor should show an interface for displaying suggestions, but instead of supplying its own it will rely on the Editor to pass completions/corrections.

Value: 65536

TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_AUTO_CORRECT

static val TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_AUTO_CORRECT: Int

Flag for TYPE_CLASS_TEXT: the user is entering free-form text that should have auto-correction applied to it. Without this flag, the IME will not try to correct typos. You should always set this flag unless you really expect users to type non-words in this field, for example to choose a name for a character in a game. Contrast this with TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_AUTO_COMPLETE and TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS: TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_AUTO_CORRECT means that the IME will try to auto-correct typos as the user is typing, but does not define whether the IME offers an interface to show suggestions.

Value: 32768

TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_CHARACTERS

static val TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_CHARACTERS: Int

Flag for TYPE_CLASS_TEXT: capitalize all characters. Overrides TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_WORDS and TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_SENTENCES. This value is explicitly defined to be the same as TextUtils.CAP_MODE_CHARACTERS. Of course, this only affects languages where there are upper-case and lower-case letters.

Value: 4096

TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_SENTENCES

static val TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_SENTENCES: Int

Flag for TYPE_CLASS_TEXT: capitalize the first character of each sentence. This value is explicitly defined to be the same as TextUtils.CAP_MODE_SENTENCES. For example in English it means to capitalize after a period and a space (note that other languages may have different characters for period, or not use spaces, or use different grammatical rules). Of course, this only affects languages where there are upper-case and lower-case letters.

Value: 16384

TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_WORDS

static val TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_WORDS: Int

Flag for TYPE_CLASS_TEXT: capitalize the first character of every word. Overrides TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_SENTENCES. This value is explicitly defined to be the same as TextUtils.CAP_MODE_WORDS. Of course, this only affects languages where there are upper-case and lower-case letters.

Value: 8192

TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_ENABLE_TEXT_CONVERSION_SUGGESTIONS

static val TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_ENABLE_TEXT_CONVERSION_SUGGESTIONS: Int

Flag for TYPE_CLASS_TEXT: Let the IME know the text conversion suggestions are required by the application. Text conversion suggestion is for the transliteration languages which has pronunciation characters and target characters. When the user is typing the pronunciation charactes, the IME could provide the possible target characters to the user. When this flag is set, the IME should insert the text conversion suggestions through Builder.setTextConversionSuggestions(List) and the TextAttribute with initialized with the text conversion suggestions is provided by the IME to the application. To receive the additional information, the application needs to implement InputConnection.setComposingText(CharSequence, int, TextAttribute), InputConnection.setComposingRegion(int, int, TextAttribute), and InputConnection.commitText(CharSequence, int, TextAttribute).

Value: 1048576

TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_IME_MULTI_LINE

static val TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_IME_MULTI_LINE: Int

Flag for TYPE_CLASS_TEXT: the regular text view associated with this should not be multi-line, but when a fullscreen input method is providing text it should use multiple lines if it can.

Value: 262144

TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_MULTI_LINE

static val TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_MULTI_LINE: Int

Flag for TYPE_CLASS_TEXT: multiple lines of text can be entered into the field. If this flag is not set, the text field will be constrained to a single line. The IME may also choose not to display an enter key when this flag is not set, as there should be no need to create new lines.

Value: 131072

TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS

static val TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS: Int

Flag for TYPE_CLASS_TEXT: the input method does not need to display any dictionary-based candidates. This is useful for text views that do not contain words from the language and do not benefit from any dictionary-based completions or corrections. It overrides the TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_AUTO_CORRECT value when set. Please avoid using this unless you are certain this is what you want. Many input methods need suggestions to work well, for example the ones based on gesture typing. Consider clearing TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_AUTO_CORRECT instead if you just do not want the IME to correct typos. Note the contrast with TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_AUTO_CORRECT and TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_AUTO_COMPLETE: TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_NO_SUGGESTIONS means the IME does not need to show an interface to display suggestions. Most IMEs will also take this to mean they do not need to try to auto-correct what the user is typing.

Value: 524288
