Urdu layout #473

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

I have been working on an Urdu (اردو) layout for Hacker's Keyboard, and 
figured it was good enough to submit and test. :-)

Respective files are attached; please let me know if I've missed any.

P.S. Thanks for making Hacker's Keyboard. It's awesome!

I managed to build Hacker's Keyboard in Android Studio, and after testing the 
Urdu layout and fixing several mistakes, I am re-attaching the files (I've 
deleted the ones I'd attached in my previous message).

I also have a couple of queries:

1. I have created a xml-ur/popup_punctuation.xml file to specify the 
punctuation characters that should show up after tapping and holding the dot 
key in 4-row layout, but when I test the layout, punctuation characters of the 
default English layout are being displayed instead. Am I missing something? (I 
do have the punctuation characters included in xml-ur/kbd_symbols.xml and 
xml-ur/kbd_symbols.xml, but I'd really prefer to show them in the punctuation 
pop-up as well.)

2. Just like in the Farsi/Persian 5-row layout, zero-width non-joiner (ZWNJ) is 
mapped to Shift+Space in 5-row layout for Urdu. However, unlike the Farsi 
layout, the ZWNJ symbol (vertical bar) is not being displayed in Urdu layout. I 
suppose this is done via code somewhere?

Thanks.

In the previous message, I meant to say:

[...] I do have the punctuation characters included in xml-ur/kbd_symbols.xml 
and xml-ur/kbd_symbols_shift.xml [...]

Hi,

Will this wait till customizable layout definitions are implemented:
