Sidequest: add GameActivity_setImeEditorInfo support to android-activity #171

Open jb55 opened 7 months ago

This is needed for setting the keyboard type from rust. It currently doesn't exist. Needed for

For autocompletion to work, we need to be able to set various softkeyboard input options. This is done via GameActivity_setImeEditorInfo. Unfortunately this is not exposed in android-activity yet. Let's add this.

@lucasmerlin has a patch that simply sets some sane default in

but it would make more sense to have this as something you can call independently from showing the keyboard.

First thing we need to do is make the interface a bit more rusty by making the imeOptions and inputTypes into proper bitflag types.

Winit updates

todo: split this off into a separate issue

One thing to note is that winit abstracts the IME a bit, but it does provide an ImePurpose enum with the following variants:

We can definitely update the imeOptions depending on Password for example from IME_FLAG_FORCE_ASCII:

Flag of imeOptions: used to request an IME that is capable of inputting ASCII characters. The intention of this flag is to ensure that the user can type Roman alphabet characters in a TextView. It is typically used for an account ID or password input. A lot of the time, IMEs are already able to input ASCII even without being told so (such IMEs already respect this flag in a sense), but there are cases when this is not the default. For instance, users of languages using a different script like Arabic, Greek, Hebrew or Russian typically have a keyboard that can't input ASCII characters by default. Applications need to be aware that the flag is not a guarantee, and some IMEs may not respect it. However, it is strongly recommended for IME authors to respect this flag especially when their IME could end up with a state where only languages using non-ASCII are enabled.

As for inputType, we might want to look into updating ImePurpose to include DateTime, Number, Phone so that we can show the correct input type from winit. (cc @lukaslihotzki)
