Android: How to create custom shape keys on keyboard?

Question

I wonder how could is possible to make custom shape key on android keyboard. To create custom keyboard is relatively easy, but what needs to be done to create new buttons. They also need to respond with all events as normal keyboard.

Any ideas where to start?

Answer 1

You need to create an image for each key you want on your custom keyboard, and then, create the xml supporting the design of your keyboard and load it in your application with they Keyboard class. Do you need more details? If so, I will prepare one if you want, I've been wanting to have a go at this class for a while.
