Class for dates and times. It supports the
following variations:
TYPE_DATETIME_VARIATION_NORMAL
TYPE_DATETIME_VARIATION_DATE, and
TYPE_DATETIME_VARIATION_TIME,.
Class for numeric text. This class supports the following flag:
TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_SIGNED and
TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_DECIMAL. It also supports the following
variations: TYPE_NUMBER_VARIATION_NORMAL and
TYPE_NUMBER_VARIATION_PASSWORD. If you do not recognize
the variation, normal should be assumed.
Class for a phone number. This class currently supports no variations or flags.
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.
Default variation of TYPE_CLASS_DATETIME: allows entering
only a date.
Default variation of TYPE_CLASS_DATETIME: allows entering
both a date and time.
Default variation of TYPE_CLASS_DATETIME: allows entering
only a time.
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.
If the class is not one you
understand, assume TYPE_CLASS_TEXT with NO variation
or flags.
Mask of bits that provide addition bit flags of options.
Mask of bits that determine the variation of the base content class.
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.
Flag of TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER: the number is decimal, allowing
a decimal point to provide fractional values.
Flag of TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER: the number is signed, allowing
a positive or negative sign at the start.
Default variation of TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER: plain normal
numeric text. This was added in
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).
Variation of TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER: entering a numeric password.
This was added in 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).
Flag for TYPE_CLASS_TEXT: the text editor 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 for the editor to supply its own completions/candidates from
InputMethodSession.displayCompletions() as a result of the editor calling
InputMethodManager.displayCompletions().
Flag for TYPE_CLASS_TEXT: the user is entering free-form
text that should have auto-correction applied to it.
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 CAP_MODE_CHARACTERS.
Flag for TYPE_CLASS_TEXT: capitalize first character of
each sentence. This value is explicitly defined
to be the same as CAP_MODE_SENTENCES.
Flag for TYPE_CLASS_TEXT: capitalize first character of
all words. Overrides TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_SENTENCES. This
value is explicitly defined
to be the same as CAP_MODE_WORDS.
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.
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.
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.
Variation of TYPE_CLASS_TEXT: entering an e-mail address.
Variation of TYPE_CLASS_TEXT: entering the subject line of
an e-mail.
Variation of TYPE_CLASS_TEXT: entering text to filter contents
of a list etc.
Variation of TYPE_CLASS_TEXT: entering the content of a long, possibly
formal message such as the body of an e-mail.
Default variation of TYPE_CLASS_TEXT: plain old normal text.
Variation of TYPE_CLASS_TEXT: entering a password.
Variation of TYPE_CLASS_TEXT: entering the name of a person.
Variation of TYPE_CLASS_TEXT: entering text for phonetic
pronunciation, such as a phonetic name field in contacts.
Variation of TYPE_CLASS_TEXT: entering a postal mailing address.
Variation of TYPE_CLASS_TEXT: entering a short, possibly informal
message such as an instant message or a text message.
Variation of TYPE_CLASS_TEXT: entering a URI.
Variation of TYPE_CLASS_TEXT: entering a password, which should
be visible to the user.
Variation of TYPE_CLASS_TEXT: entering text inside of a web form.
Variation of TYPE_CLASS_TEXT: entering e-mail address inside
of a web form. This was added in
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 seen as TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_EMAIL_ADDRESS
when passed through EditorInfo.makeCompatible(int).
Variation of TYPE_CLASS_TEXT: entering password inside
of a web form. This was added in
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 seen as TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_PASSWORD
when passed through EditorInfo.makeCompatible(int).
