Android : EditText with custom keyboard

Hello

I created my own custom keyboard following the the example in the sdk.

Now I would like to use this custom keyboard by default on my EditText in my app (actualy I have to long press the edittext and then choose my custom keyboard).

How can I do that ? (seems to be related to the inputType property but I can't find out how to set it)

Thanks !

Have your users set your keyboard to be their default. Applications do not have control over that.

If by saying "I created my own custom keyboard" you mean you wrote your own IME, this is probably not what you want. An IME is a separate component that is designed to interact with any other application on the device for text input.

If you just want a custom keyboard in your own app, you should implement that inside your app as part of its UI.

Ok thanks ! Yes I made my own IME, but as you say, I want it to be usable only inside my app.What component should I use to implement this in my app ? Do you have a link ?
