Android soft keyboard input method doesn't show in menu

Question

i created an android sample project -> soft keyboard. I have changed - the project name, - in manifest service android:name="xx" and - in strings.xml xx

i successfuly deployed the project on my galaxy ace and when i go to Edittext in messages and hold the Edittext field -> Input method. I thought now it would have to show my "xx" keyboard or something like that, but there is no new field available, only the "Swype" and "Samsung keyboard".

Do i have to do something else in the project that it would show me my new created keyboard in that menu?

Thank you for your answers!

Answer 1

the android:name"..." in the mainifest service should be with value that equlas to the main keyboard class name. if you change in the mainifest the android:name to xx you need to change the main class name to xx.
