Support Xperia Keyboard and his Swype Feature

dmfs commented 10 years ago

We don't have an Xperia device. What exactly is the special thing about the Swype feature on these devices?

RobWJ commented 10 years ago

You can wipe over the keys to input letters in your app i only can type letter by letter, the wipe function is not active

here is the app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonyericsson.textinput.uxp&hl=en "it offers a superior swiping experience as well as traditional tapping."

thx :)

dmfs commented 10 years ago

interesting, I've no idea why swipe is disabled for our app. We'll check that.

dmfs commented 10 years ago

Can you check if that's also the case when you enter text into a check list item? I think that might be related to #8 At present the app doesn't disable spell-checking and suggested words for the check list items, so if that's required for the swipe keyboard it should work with these fields.

RobWJ commented 10 years ago

no, also don't work. no swipe in every field, also check list item field.

i am now on Android 4.4.2 official Sony, Xperia Keyboard 6.4.A.1.24

Hi everyone,

I do experience the exact same behaviour as described above with my Sony Xperia Z1 Compact (Android 4.4.4, official Sony stock rom): The Swype feature of the inbuild keyboard app (Xperia Keyboard 6.4.A.1.24) does not work, even though it is activated in the settings and working in all other apps I used so far.

I really love "Tasks" for its minimalistic approach and CalDAV-Sync ability and would like to help improving it. I can offer to do some testing and/or debugging help in case you don't have an Xperia device available.

Fixing this issue would make "Tasks" much more convinient to use on Xperia phones! :-)

Thanks and greetings,

Benjamin

Can someone having this issue contact us by email to get the latest release candidate to test if this issue still exists? See http://dmfs.org/caldav/?contact FTR: Swype works on the Nexus 5 and on HTC with stock ROM.

We tracked down the problem. We were able to enable text suggestions and swipe on Android 4.3 and up.

It is related to and memory leak in Android, as reported in #8 The memory leak was fixed with Android 4.3.
