About Input method of TextBox/TextField .

Hi,
The model of My mobile is NokiaXXXX. I know the textbox (TextBox/TextField) allows user to change the input methods ( ie : "abc", "Abc", "ABC", "Asia language input method" and etc) by '#' key. Can I use control it in MIDP ? I mean there has got any method to change the input-method in coding ?
And I want to write an application supports Internationalization (ie : supports English / Chinese language), those input methods are provided by the phone OS or we have to write the input method by ourselves ?
Please give me some advices. Thx. :)

Hm, i don't understand your intention. On Siemens and Nokia, the change of T9's behavior is the same: if you're in a TextField you may change the input method and language within the boundaries of your mobile. So i think, you don't have to implement your own. Incidentally it's not possible to implement your own input method using java (as far as i know, only the new Motorolla supports java-enabled access to it's T9-impl)

Simple question about Input Methods

Hi everyone. I have a JTextArea in a frame. I want this TextArea to accept Chinese language directly from keyboard. For this I need to select an Input Method.
One way to select an Input Method is to click on the control icon on the top left corner of the frame window and then select "Input Methods > Chinese".
But I dont want selecting input method this way. I want to select Input Method for my TextArea within the code in frame's constructor.
I do hope that you are getting my point.
I tried like this:
TextArea.selectInputMethod( new Locale("SIMPLIFIED_CHINESE"));
But it gives me error that "cannot find method selectInputMethod()".
I shall be very very very thankfull to you.
Thanx
..::DW

Yeh, it would be simpler to run a test, but i'm not at a workstation with a jdk or IDE at the moment!
Thanks for the response though!

About the Solaris Express 4/6 - Chinese Input Method

I worked on Solaris 10 has long time, I write some articles or reports using StarOffice. In that time , the Chinese input methon has the Sun NewChuYin Input-method , I am very used to the input method. But when I upgrade the OS to Solaris Express 4/6. The input method has insteaded of iiimf. Because my work environment is zh_TW.Big5, I can't use "chewing". Now I feel difficultly in working.
I hope Sun can keep past input-methods and then add some new input methods.
Or can Sun tell me , where is the old input-methods package on Solaris 10 1/6 CD-Rom and its' name? I want to find it and override the package in Solaris Express 4/6.

We hope you can hear our requireme.
In these forums only other users like yourself will hear you. So repeat your request in the channel Apple has set up for that:

PO creation using LSMW through batch input method

Hi, I am new to working with LSMW and i have completed a project for creating purchase orders using the direct data input method. I need to do the same using batch input method, however in the maintain structure relationship step, it is only allowing me to assign one structure to the recording that i have done, however in po creation we need separate (nested) structure for header and line item, could anybody help me past this please?

Hi Rudra!
OK, now you just know, why you have only one line, not multiple PO item lines. To get a dynamic number of items, you need a complex program - just like standard direct input.
If you need a field, which is not part of this program, don't try to write your own program for batch input - it's just to much work before you have a good result.
You can use Bapi method instead with BAPI_PO_CREATE1. This can handle a lot of fields and there is some documentation available how to fill the Bapi.
If this looks to complicated in the first moment, think about creation of POs via direct input and a small batch recording to change your additional field(s) afterwards. (You can select EKPO table to generate list of 'wrong' migrated orders for input in LSMW.) Use field 'Item' in the bottom of ME22 to position your desired line in first screen line, just change one PO-line after one other (every time a 'save' -> no problem with different number of lines / PO).
Regards,
Christian

How to use the phone's Mini-Keyboard Input with the 'Textbox'(MIDP2.0)?

(My apology. My English is not perfect but I'll try my best. >_<)
Hi. I'm trying to create a textbox(in my own little application) that is compatible with the mini-keyboard input feature.
This problem involved any device that have a built-in "mini-keyboard".
Problem:
I tried the 'Textbox' class from MIDP2.0 but the result, as expected, is like using the phones with no built-in keyboard.
(Forexample if I want to input the character 'C' inthe text box, I need to press number '2' button three times to let it circle through 'A' -> 'B' then 'C'. )
Then I tried entering URLs in the phone's built-in web browser, the result is I can use the mini keyboard to type like a PC keyboard.
Question: How do I implement such textbox that is fully compatible with the built-in mini Keyboard?
I tried browsing through the MIDP2.0 API but it seems the 'Textbox' class there couldn't do it.
Thank you. =)

Edit/Delete Message

The textbox should have input just as any other normal phone input. If not, something strange is going on.
Anyway , there is no use to make your own input method, since every phone has another implementation of this anyway. It would only confuse users.

How to STOP OS X from automatically changing between language input methods

I want to know if there is a way in OS X Leopard to stop the system from automatically changing the language input method. I use English and Japanese on my computer, but this would apply to anyone using more than one input method.
For example, when I click on a Japanese-language file, the system automatically changes input to Kotoeri (the Japanese-language input method). When I then click on an English-language file it usually, but not always, changes back to English input. But I almost never want to TYPE in Japanese. I just need to be able to read Japanese and to cut and paste from Japanese language files. It is very annoying when I start typing in an English-language file and find the input method has been changed to kotoeri without me realizing it—everything comes out in meaningless Japanese. When I want to type in Japanese, I want to manually change to the Japanese input system. That is, I want English to always be the default input method even if I am manipulating Japanese-language files.
So, I’m wondering if there’s a way to set the computer so that it never AUTOMATICALLY switches between the input methods. I want to be able to switch only manually. In the old days of System 7, 8, and 9, there was a third-party control panel you could get that would do this (I think it was called Stay There!) and I don't remember this being a problem in Tiger or earlier versions of OS X. Is anyone aware of any way to do this in Leopard?
Thank you!
Colin

Well, I do have it set that way, and I can look up there to see where I am, but in the work I do time is critical and I move back and forth between the two languages frequently. It is really a pain and a waste of time to have to look and make a change that should be unnecessary. The problem is not so much that I don't know where I am. It's that I don't want to ever have to think I MIGHT be in anything but English input unless I specifically want to be. In other words, I need to be able to forget about this problem even being a possibility.

How can I keep my original keyboard mapping in different input methods?

Hi!
i have a question about my keyboard mapping. my powerbook has a german keyboard. and i switch frequently my input methods between german and simplified chinese(ITABC), which was all fine. but after upgrading to Leopard, when i switch to ITABC input method, my keyboard mapping changed along with this input method to chinese keyboard mapping! which annoys me a lot! this did not happen before when i was in Tiger!
could someone please tell me how to keep my original keyboard mapping (at least the alphabets) when i switch to ITABC?
Thanks a lot!

in german input, the key "Y" and "Z" are opposite comparing with normal english keyboard. and in chinese input method, the "y" and "z" are mapped just as normal english keyboard.
what happens now is, in ITABC input method, "y" and "z" are mapped as normal english keyboard, which is not like that before when i was using tiger.
Thanks for the info! You should definitely ask about this on the Chinese-Mac list. Keyboard mapping with the Apple Chinese IM's has long been a problem, and is one reason many people are moving to QIM:
http://www.yale.edu/chinesemac/pages/input_methods.html#other
I suspect something has changed in the Chinese IM with Leopard to mess this up for you, and it may not be fixable.

Should Arch have a common input method ?

Should Arch have a common input method ?
Arch is a really great distro,so I think there are a lots of arch users all over the world.
And I believe that more and more people will know Arch,use Arch,Love to use Arch
But I am curious about that : everyone use english only? Just input English only?
For me I need a input method to input Chinese in gedit,gnome-terminal,openoffice and so on.
I guess some users( in particular for non-English users) also need it for their own language.
So I eager hope Arch will official have common method support.
And SCIM is a good choice--Smart Common Input Method.

SCIM is the defaults Chinene input moethod in SUSE Mandriva(formerly mandrake),and included in Fedoa's Repo.
Tt also is the defauls input moethod for CJK(Chinese/Korea/Japanese) users,SCIM supports a large

engines and their corresponding languages.
scim- scim is the core package, which provides the fundamental routines and data types

cactus wrote:@dibble: in fact, I would. Then i would set out to make the packages myself so I could use them, or try to form a group of like minded individuals to create a language specific port.
i don't want to start a massive fight about this cactus because you know I respect your views but i wonder how a group of people that require internationalization support can collaborate on a project without a common language?
We can already see that miracle is doing his best to get his point across with varying sucess, i can't imagine trying to achieve many harder things in the internet environment, never mind establishing a project. Of course this is well within the users power but i really think that in this instance non-enlgish speaking users would greatly benefit from the support of experience Arch Users who have english as first langauge.
miracle - if the PKGs are in the AUR you need to contact other arch users, possibly on the other languages forums, and tell them to vote for the scim pkgs

Third-party applications and input method in OS 10.7

After updating to OS 10.7, the input method for Spell Catcher 10.4 does not load. Application functions in every way, except that I am am no longer able to utilize the interaction feature (i.e., can't paste from Spell Catcher to text file). What is the cause of the lost interaction feature? Who is responsible, Apple or Spell Catcher?

Spell Catcher is suspiciously silent about the input problem. The head of software development responded immediately to my first inquiries, and assured me that Sell Catcher is compatible with OS 10.7. I recall reading on the Spell Catcher site that the fault was with OS 10.7. Ultimately, the Spell Catcher official stopped communicating with me via email and references to the input problem disappeared from the web site.
I'm hoping that you're wrong about who is responsible, and that a 10.7 update will solve the problem. By the way, I experienced the same input problem after installing Grammarian Pro.

Input Methods changing without permission

Hi everybody.
I use a personalized keyboard mapping. I've created it with Ukelele, put it into ~/Library/Keyboard Layouts and selected it in the System Preferences (so only my account can use this layout). Perfect.
Now, the issues:
If I use the “fast user switching” in the menu bar, my own Input Method is reverted to the default French input method. I think that is normal for this window, but if I cancel the user switching, the default French input method remains and I have to manually switch back to my personalized keyboard layout.
The same thing happens when I play “Warcraft III”: the input method is changed to the default French layout as soon as the game is launched. How can I change this behavior ?

http://parahuman.org/journal/2005/07/changing-mac-os-xs-default-keyboard.html#11 2420770366273168
This seems very interesting. Haven't tried it yet but I'm about to.

Create Input Method component

I need to make an Input Method for a language. It would function similar to that of the Kotoeri or Chinese components: namely after the inline input of some text, the desired Unicode glyph would be called. All of the references in the ADC pages presume I already have an input method, or can work with their example to make something like the Asian input methods. I do not want to start from scratch, but would ideally like to modify an existing component (swapping out existing data and dictionary entries with my own).
Curiously, I see that there was a session at the WWDC 07 that addresses the exact issue I'm inquiring about. Is this Input Method Kit something that will be available?

Below are critical observations that you need to be aware of:
2. VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!! Personally, saving a file as .cin locked up my whole system, and I had to login as root in order to remove the file. I'll never do that again. Thus my note is "# INSTALLATION: save as a .inputplugin file and put ~/Library/Input Methods/
# Once this is in the Input Methods file, you then enable the input method by going to the International keyboard
# input module and selecting your input method just like a regular input method is selected.
3. # If plain text, the file encoding must be Unicode (UTF-16) with or without an initial BOM (Byte Order Mark).
I made the edits using TextWrangler (http://www.barebones.com/products/TextWrangler/). This allows you to encode in UTF-16 (at the bottom of the file).
Also, there needs to be a mention of honor here to Tom Gewecke for his invaluable advice and support in correctly interpreting Apple's help sheet. Apple's sheet is almost correct, but the alerts above will keep you from creating a file that will crash your system like I did—twice.

Running City Input Method on Mac OS X

Has anyone tried to run the City IM example (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/guide/imf/spi-tutorial.html) on OS X? How would one bring up the "Select Input Method" menu, like that on Windows or Solaris? Can anyone tell me something about Java's Input Method Framework support in MacOS X? Thanks.

I just learned from the source that Java Input Method Framework (IMF) is currently not supported in OS X.

Why do I get "Select Input Method" dialog when trying to open tabs on some sites?

This is what I'm experiencing with Firefox mobile on an Android tablet.
On some sites, when I click a button which should open a new tab, I get the "Select Input Method" dialog box. First, I don't know why this dialog is popping up. Second, it is an empty dialog; there is nothing to select, only a heading that says "Select Input Method". When I touch the heading, I get another "Select Input Method" dialog, this time with "Android Keyboard" as the sole item to be selected. It is already selected. Touching it or backing up to dismiss it leaves me on the page I started on. Touching the original button which should open a new tab simply repeats the entire dialog sequence. Backing up from the original, empty dialog, does the same thing.
Once or twice, by magic or something, I was able to get the page to open the new tab. But I cannot confirm what sequence of selecting or backing up out of the dialogs may have led to the correct behavior.
Any help would be appreciated.

kbrosnan,
Thanks for the reply. Sorry it took so long to get back to you.
My wife is working on a project so I'm a little light on details. Apparently she figured out that her Javascript is calling ShowModalDialog and this was what was causing the Select Input Method dialog to open. I don't fully understand the details but she's looking for a different way to do this. I believe she said she subsequently found out that the Firefiox mobile browser doesn't support ShowModalDialog.
She's new to mobile web development (and I know nothing about it) so she's kind of feeling her way. If you have a good resource for how the FF Android mobile browser differs from the normal desktop browser, that wouldbe a big help, I think. Otherwise, thanks for you reply and she'll keep plugging away discovering what she needs to change in her program to make it work for mobile.
Thanks.
