InputMethodService

InputMethodService InputMethodService provides a standard implementation of an InputMethod, which final implementations can derive from and customize.

AbstractInputMethodService provides a abstract base class for input methods. Normal input method implementations will not derive from this directly, instead building on top of InputMethodService or another more complete base class. Be sure to read InputMethod for more information on the basics of writing input methods.

This class combines a Service (representing the input method component to the system with the InputMethod interface that input methods must implement. This base class takes care of reporting your InputMethod from the service when clients bind to it, but provides no standard implementation of the InputMethod interface itself. Derived classes must implement that interface.

After Build.VERSION_CODES.S, the maximum possible area to show the soft input may not be the entire screen. For example, some devices may support to show the soft input on only half of screen.

In that case, moving the soft input from one half screen to another will trigger a Resources update to match the new Configuration and this AbstractInputMethodService may also receive a onConfigurationChanged(android.content.res.Configuration) callback if there's notable configuration changes

Inherited constants

From class android.app.Service

`int`	`START_CONTINUATION_MASK` Bits returned by `onStartCommand(Intent, int, int)` describing how to continue the service if it is killed.
`int`	`START_FLAG_REDELIVERY` This flag is set in `onStartCommand(Intent, int, int)` if the Intent is a re-delivery of a previously delivered intent, because the service had previously returned `START_REDELIVER_INTENT` but had been killed before calling `stopSelf(int)` for that Intent.
`int`	`START_FLAG_RETRY` This flag is set in `onStartCommand(Intent, int, int)` if the Intent is a retry because the original attempt never got to or returned from `onStartCommand(android.content.Intent, int, int)`.
`int`	`START_NOT_STICKY` Constant to return from `onStartCommand(Intent, int, int)`: if this service's process is killed while it is started (after returning from `onStartCommand(Intent, int, int)`), and there are no new start intents to deliver to it, then take the service out of the started state and don't recreate until a future explicit call to `Context.startService(Intent)`.
`int`	`START_REDELIVER_INTENT` Constant to return from `onStartCommand(Intent, int, int)`: if this service's process is killed while it is started (after returning from `onStartCommand(Intent, int, int)`), then it will be scheduled for a restart and the last delivered Intent re-delivered to it again via `onStartCommand(Intent, int, int)`.
`int`	`START_STICKY` Constant to return from `onStartCommand(Intent, int, int)`: if this service's process is killed while it is started (after returning from `onStartCommand(Intent, int, int)`), then leave it in the started state but don't retain this delivered intent.
`int`	`START_STICKY_COMPATIBILITY` Constant to return from `onStartCommand(Intent, int, int)`: compatibility version of `START_STICKY` that does not guarantee that `onStartCommand(Intent, int, int)` will be called again after being killed.
`int`	`STOP_FOREGROUND_DETACH` Selector for `stopForeground(int)`: if set, the notification previously supplied to `startForeground(int, Notification)` will be detached from the service's lifecycle.
`int`	`STOP_FOREGROUND_LEGACY` This constant was deprecated in API level 33. Use `STOP_FOREGROUND_DETACH` instead. The legacy behavior was inconsistent, leading to bugs around unpredictable results.
`int`	`STOP_FOREGROUND_REMOVE` Selector for `stopForeground(int)`: if supplied, the notification previously supplied to `startForeground(int, Notification)` will be cancelled and removed from display.

Public constructors

AbstractInputMethodService

public AbstractInputMethodService ()

Public methods

getKeyDispatcherState

Added in API level 5

public KeyEvent.DispatcherState getKeyDispatcherState ()

Return the global KeyEvent.DispatcherState for used for processing events from the target application. Normally you will not need to use this directly, but just use the standard high-level event callbacks like KeyEvent.Callback.onKeyDown(int, KeyEvent).

Returns
`KeyEvent.DispatcherState`

getSystemService

Added in API level 3

public Object getSystemService (String name)

Return the handle to a system-level service by name. The class of the returned object varies by the requested name. Currently available names are:

WINDOW_SERVICE ("window"): The top-level window manager in which you can place custom windows. The returned object is a WindowManager. Must only be obtained from a visual context such as Activity or a Context created with createWindowContext(int, android.os.Bundle), which are adjusted to the configuration and visual bounds of an area on screen.
LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE ("layout_inflater"): A LayoutInflater for inflating layout resources in this context. Must only be obtained from a visual context such as Activity or a Context created with createWindowContext(int, android.os.Bundle), which are adjusted to the configuration and visual bounds of an area on screen.
ACTIVITY_SERVICE ("activity"): A ActivityManager for interacting with the global activity state of the system.
WALLPAPER_SERVICE ("wallpaper"): A WallpaperService for accessing wallpapers in this context. Must only be obtained from a visual context such as Activity or a Context created with createWindowContext(int, android.os.Bundle), which are adjusted to the configuration and visual bounds of an area on screen.
POWER_SERVICE ("power"): A PowerManager for controlling power management.

Note: System services obtained via this API may be closely associated with the Context in which they are obtained from. In general, do not share the service objects between various different contexts (Activities, Applications, Services, Providers, etc.)

Note: Instant apps, for which PackageManager.isInstantApp() returns true, don't have access to the following system services: DEVICE_POLICY_SERVICE, FINGERPRINT_SERVICE, KEYGUARD_SERVICE, SHORTCUT_SERVICE, USB_SERVICE, WALLPAPER_SERVICE, WIFI_P2P_SERVICE, WIFI_SERVICE, WIFI_AWARE_SERVICE. For these services this method will return null. Generally, if you are running as an instant app you should always check whether the result of this method is null.

Note: When implementing this method, keep in mind that new services can be added on newer Android releases, so if you're looking for just the explicit names mentioned above, make sure to return null when you don't recognize the name — if you throw a RuntimeException exception instead, your app might break on new Android releases.

Parameters
`name`	`String`: This value cannot be `null`.

Returns
`Object`	This value may be `null`.

onBind

Added in API level 3

public final IBinder onBind (Intent intent)

Return the communication channel to the service. May return null if clients can not bind to the service. The returned IBinder is usually for a complex interface that has been described using aidl.

Note that unlike other application components, calls on to the IBinder interface returned here may not happen on the main thread of the process. More information about the main thread can be found in Processes and Threads.

Parameters
`intent`	`Intent`: The Intent that was used to bind to this service, as given to `Context.bindService`. Note that any extras that were included with the Intent at that point will not be seen here.

Returns
`IBinder`	Return an IBinder through which clients can call on to the service.

onConfigurationChanged

Added in API level 3

public void onConfigurationChanged (Configuration configuration)

Called by the system when the device configuration changes while your component is running. Note that, unlike activities, other components are never restarted when a configuration changes: they must always deal with the results of the change, such as by re-retrieving resources.

At the time that this function has been called, your Resources object will have been updated to return resource values matching the new configuration.

For more information, read Handling Runtime Changes.

Parameters
`configuration`	`Configuration`: This value cannot be `null`.

onCreateInputMethodInterface

Added in API level 3

public abstract AbstractInputMethodService.AbstractInputMethodImpl onCreateInputMethodInterface ()

Called by the framework during initialization, when the InputMethod interface for this service needs to be created.

Returns
`AbstractInputMethodService.AbstractInputMethodImpl`

onCreateInputMethodSessionInterface

Added in API level 3

public abstract AbstractInputMethodService.AbstractInputMethodSessionImpl onCreateInputMethodSessionInterface ()

Called by the framework when a new InputMethodSession interface is needed for a new client of the input method.

Returns
`AbstractInputMethodService.AbstractInputMethodSessionImpl`

onDestroy

Added in API level 3

public void onDestroy ()

Called by the system to notify a Service that it is no longer used and is being removed. The service should clean up any resources it holds (threads, registered receivers, etc) at this point. Upon return, there will be no more calls in to this Service object and it is effectively dead. Do not call this method directly. If you override this method you must call through to the superclass implementation.

onGenericMotionEvent

Added in API level 17

public boolean onGenericMotionEvent (MotionEvent event)

Implement this to handle generic motion events on your input method.

Parameters
`event`	`MotionEvent`: The motion event being received.

Returns
`boolean`	True if the event was handled in this function, false otherwise.

See also:

View.onGenericMotionEvent(MotionEvent)

onLowMemory

Added in API level 3

public void onLowMemory ()

Override Service's empty implementation and listen to ActivityThread for low memory and trim memory events.

onTrackballEvent

Added in API level 3

public boolean onTrackballEvent (MotionEvent event)

Implement this to handle trackball events on your input method.

Parameters
`event`	`MotionEvent`: The motion event being received.

Returns
`boolean`	True if the event was handled in this function, false otherwise.

See also:

View.onTrackballEvent(MotionEvent)

onTrimMemory

Added in API level 14

public void onTrimMemory (int level)

Called when the operating system has determined that it is a good time for a process to trim unneeded memory from its process. You should never compare to exact values of the level, since new intermediate values may be added -- you will typically want to compare if the value is greater or equal to a level you are interested in.

To retrieve the processes current trim level at any point, you can use ActivityManager.getMyMemoryState(RunningAppProcessInfo).

Parameters

Parameters
`level`	`int`: The context of the trim, giving a hint of the amount of trimming the application may like to perform. Value is `ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_COMPLETE`, `ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_MODERATE`, `ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_BACKGROUND`, `ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_UI_HIDDEN`, `ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_RUNNING_CRITICAL`, `ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_RUNNING_LOW`, or `ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_RUNNING_MODERATE`

level

int: The context of the trim, giving a hint of the amount of trimming the application may like to perform. Value is ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_COMPLETE, ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_MODERATE, ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_BACKGROUND, ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_UI_HIDDEN, ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_RUNNING_CRITICAL, ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_RUNNING_LOW, or ComponentCallbacks2.TRIM_MEMORY_RUNNING_MODERATE

registerComponentCallbacks

Added in API level 14

public void registerComponentCallbacks (ComponentCallbacks callback)

Add a new ComponentCallbacks to the base application of the Context, which will be called at the same times as the ComponentCallbacks methods of activities and other components are called. Note that you must be sure to use unregisterComponentCallbacks(ComponentCallbacks) when appropriate in the future; this will not be removed for you.

After Build.VERSION_CODES.TIRAMISU, the ComponentCallbacks will be registered to the base Context, and can be only used after attachBaseContext(android.content.Context). Users can still call to getApplicationContext().registerComponentCallbacks(ComponentCallbacks) to add ComponentCallbacks to the base application.

Parameters
`callback`	`ComponentCallbacks`: This value cannot be `null`.

unregisterComponentCallbacks

Added in API level 14

public void unregisterComponentCallbacks (ComponentCallbacks callback)

Remove a ComponentCallbacks object that was previously registered with registerComponentCallbacks(android.content.ComponentCallbacks).

After Build.VERSION_CODES.TIRAMISU, the ComponentCallbacks will be unregistered to the base Context, and can be only used after attachBaseContext(android.content.Context)

Parameters
`callback`	`ComponentCallbacks`: This value cannot be `null`.

Protected methods

dump

Added in API level 3

protected void dump (FileDescriptor fd, 
                PrintWriter fout, 
                String[] args)

Implement this to handle Binder.dump() calls on your input method.

Parameters
`fd`	`FileDescriptor`: The raw file descriptor that the dump is being sent to.
`fout`	`PrintWriter`: The PrintWriter to which you should dump your state. This will be closed for you after you return.
`args`	`String`: additional arguments to the dump request.
