Yup, its not too hard at all. Just check out the time in the AOSP here. It's all done in the resource files, here is a short snippet. From the symbols.xml file of my keyboard project.

<Key android:codes="49" android:keyLabel="1" android:keyEdgeFlags="left"
     android:popupKeyboard="@xml/kbd_popup_template"
     android:popupCharacters="¹½⅓¼⅛"/>

@Schwiz.. Hi, I am following SoftKeybaord example(SDK) but I cant find my solution in that example.. – Niranj Patel May 13 '11 at 07:51
@CapDroid my mistake its the AOSP that has the example, I updated my answer. Hope it helps. – Nathan Schwermann May 13 '11 at 08:34
@Schwiz.. Thanks, Dear but it working fine only on long click. On Single Click default popup is display.. & Another thing is I am using custom layout for keyboard instead of keyboard control..... – Niranj Patel May 13 '11 at 08:58
@CapDroid ahh sorry I misunderstood your question. I looked into it for you but can't find an immediate solution. Hope you find your answer! – Nathan Schwermann May 14 '11 at 02:15

It's easy. Just set the android:iconPreview attribute for the key, where my_icon_preview is the drawable for the preview popup.

In XML:

<Key android:codes="116"
     android:keyLabel="t"
     android:iconPreview="@drawable/my_icon_preview" />

In Java:

tKey.iconPreview = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.my_icon_preview);

Where tKey has the type Keyboard.Key (of course).

Not sure from your question if you're trying to customize the symbol or the background. This answer customizes the symbols. – Barry Fruitman Sep 15 '11 at 15:55
