Hello I want to make an application with its own keyboard that is activated by the user instead of the phone keyboard. Can you help me?

[Patryk_F]

See this extension, which is currently being tested. Allows you to create cool keyboards. You can also create your own keyboard using the buttons.

Extension: Create Custom Keyboard. (Beta)

Hello friends, a few years ago (2017) I made an extension to dynamically create components: I have thought to modify that extension to create a Keyboard (Softkey) with the Button component. For now the extension is in beta phase and only works in emulation (MIT COMPANION, ...). [extension_keyboard10] - These are the default Properties: [extension_teclado9] - Special characters: Spacebar: put several spaces between commas.

thank you i will

Please can you explain more because I found it difficult to implement

In the topic about the keyboard, there are sample .aia designs that you can load into your designer.

Hello, I Need to develope a particolar kind of keyboard.
It must be composed by 4 words, instead the classical letters, and if I tap One of this words the keyboard must send It automatically.
Please help me, I'm desperated

Welcome Juan.

@Dndndnkdnd

if I tap One of this words the keyboard must send It automatically.

Send "it" where Juan? Your 'keyboard' can be four Buttons (possibly arranged in a Table); each Button can have one of the four words and the Button.Click event handler can 'send' "it", the word somewhere?

Try this one :

notAlreadyHandled Example. Keypad

Here an example for notAlreadyHandled. [notalreadyhandled5] When you Click Button0...Button9 you use "when any Button.Click". But when you use btn_delete, btn_delete_last_char or btn_send, you don't use "when any Button.Click", because these buttons have their own events.
