Keyboard with scrollView

Question

There are numerous apps on google play having scrollView in softKeyboard.

As android is open source, where can i find that keyboard which has scroll embed on emoji like given image. i think i want open source keyboard for Android 4.xx

Or tell me how to add scroll to custom softKeyboard. I have tried many ways.

First i tried to add ScrollView to

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<HorizontalScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="bottom" >

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical" >

        <com.zeuxislo.emojikeyboard.EmojiKeyboardView
            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_gravity="bottom"
            android:keyBackground="@drawable/samplekeybackground" >
        </com.zeuxislo.emojikeyboard.EmojiKeyboardView>

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Wao what a keyBoard"
            android:textSize="24sp" />
    </LinearLayout>

</HorizontalScrollView>

Also tried adding horizontalScrollView to qwerty.xml and other emoji.xml under xml folder

Answer 1

It sounds like you're wanting to install a new keyboard on your device and then make that the default one. Try some like Google's keyboard , or just look around for others. Once you get it installed then go to Setting > Language & input > Current keyboard and then just select whichever one you prefer.
