Hello,

I've been looking to create a custom keyboard for my application. At first, i started to look at the SoftKeyboard for the SDK examples, but reading the Android Developer Group led me to this post :

This is really not how the input method framework is supposed to work. An IME should be a generic input facility, not for a particular application. If you need some app-specific input, you should build it into your UI rather than pushing it out to a generic IME.

So does anyone know how to build and app-specific input within the UI ? I mean, is there a way to extend the Keyboard app or something and use it only in my application ?

Features needed for the keyboard :

Shift key to display some other keys Special keys like square root or PI ect..

Well, if you have any idea, thanks a lot for helping me out !

PS : an ugly solution could be to make a table of ImageButton for example, but i wanted to make something clean.
