Latvian layout and dictionary

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi, I've been looking for solutions to get Latvian characters and dictionary 
on Android phones and found this project. I've managed to build it and 
extend it to include Latvian layout and dictionary. The result seems to 
work, tested at least on Nexus One and HTC Hero.

It would be great if the changes could be put back in this project instead 
of duplicating the effort with very similar project. If that would be 
possible, a diff, a wordlist, and compiled dictionary APK for testing is 
attached.

Hi, great contribution. I will add the Latvian layout to the keyboard.

As you know, the dictionary is a separate package. When the keyboard is 
updated, 
would you want to add the dictionary to Market yourself, or should I do that?

In the next version there will be some changes with the dictionary. This is 
just for 
info, if you're interrested. If you want me to add the dictionary to the 
Market, I 
can fix this.

1. It will have to have another package-name, because names starting with 
com.android isn't allowed anymore. The new name must be 
com.keyboard.scandinavian.dictionary.languagename
2. The dictionaries will no longer need to be specified in the keyboard. As 
long as 
the dictionary has the correct package-name, it will work.
3. The dictionary may have (but it's not needed) an info screen so it's easier 
for 
users to understand how they should install and use it. I will add code here 
for how 
this is implemented soon.

Happy to hear you're going to add it!
I'd be OK to add dictionary to Market myself. This way, I won't have to bug you 
when I 
improve the wordlist and want to publish it.
