I'm developing a soft keyboard and doing well, but I don't know how to customize the popup layout for a long keypress.
My KeyboardView:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<android.inputmethodservice.KeyboardView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/keyboard"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:keyPreviewLayout="@layout/preview"
android:keyBackground="@drawable/key_selector"
android:shadowRadius="0.0"
android:keyTextColor="#000000"
/>
My keyboard layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Keyboard xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:keyWidth="10%p"
android:keyHeight="10%p">
<Row android:verticalGap="1%p" android:horizontalGap="0.5%p" android:keyHeight="8%p" android:keyWidth="9.6%p">
<Key android:codes="113" android:keyLabel="q" />

</Row>
<Row android:verticalGap="1%p" android:horizontalGap="0.5%p" android:keyHeight="8%p" android:keyWidth="9.6%p">

<Key android:codes="106" android:keyLabel="j" />
<Key android:codes="107" android:keyLabel="k" />
<Key android:codes="108" android:keyLabel="l" />
</Row>
<Row android:verticalGap="1%p" android:horizontalGap="0.5%p" android:keyHeight="8%p" android:keyWidth="9.6%p">

<Key android:codes="122" android:keyLabel="z" android:horizontalGap="1%p"/>

<Key android:codes="32" android:keyIcon="@drawable/sym_keyboard_feedback_space" android:keyWidth="40%p"/>
<Key android:codes="46" android:keyLabel="."/>
<Key android:codes="-3" android:keyIcon="@drawable/keyboard_go"
android:keyHeight="7.6%p" android:keyWidth="18.5%p" android:horizontalGap="1%p"/>
</Row>
The keyboard popup XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Keyboard xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:keyWidth="10%p"
android:keyHeight="10%p">
</Keyboard>
I tried putting keyBackground and background properties everywhere, but not successfully. I tried to put:
android:popupLayout="@layout/keyboard"
...On the keyboardView but get nullpointer, maybe I'm putting a wrong XML in that parameter?
In the keyboard popup XML that I put here:
android:popupKeyboard="@xml/keyboard_popup"
I can change the layout's size, key size, key gap, and other things, but can't change the colors or backgrounds.
The key preview also is doing well, I put this on the keyboardView:
android:keyPreviewLayout="@layout/preview"
...And it works. I think the popup should be the same way, but it's not.
