I want to develop my own on-screen keyboard for Android. This keyboard should be the only selectable keyboard on the Android device.

I was able to create the keyboard, but something is still missing. I can't disable the AOSP keyboard. This is possible with some keyboards from other developers, such as SwiftKey

Take a look at my screenshots to understand my problem

Custom keyboard can't disable AOSP Keyboard:

SwiftKey can disable AOSP Keyboard:

You can use the following github project to create your own keyboard with the problem https://github.com/alanszlosek/android-keyboard

I already tried to support multiple languages en_US and de_DE, but without success

Which conditions have to be fulfilled so that my APP can be the only selectable on-screen keyboard under Android?

Any suggestions?

  • I don't think it is possible to have your app as the only selectable on-screen keyboard. I guess you might need to ask for system administrator privileges for this, which many users would be reluctant to give. – pri Aug 16 '18 at 07:27
  • @pri I do not think that's the case The SwiftKey keyboard was installed with an APK-File. SwiftKey has no system rights, but can disable the AOSP keyboard – rjdev Aug 16 '18 at 07:37
