How to install and use the Android SDK
Let’s set up your Sample keyboard, which takes just a few minutes. Follow the instructions below to add the keyboard SDK to an existing application.
Add Fleksy SDK repositories to the settings.gradle
file.
|
|
Set android.enableJetifier
to true
in your gradle.properties
file:
android.enableJetifier=true
Edit the app’s module build.gradle
file, and add dependencies:
|
|
Ensure Java 1.8 (or higher) compatibility is enabled in the app’s module build.gradle
file:
|
|
Disable compression for json
and wav
files in your app’s module build.gradle
file:
|
|
Sync project with Gradle Files
to load the keyboard SDK dependencies.createConfiguration
to return a configuration as shown below.<your-license-key>
and <your-license-secret>
with your license.For example:
|

Create a new input-method file named sample_input_method.xml
in the res/xml
folder of your app’s module, and copy the following contents:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<input-method xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:isDefault="true">
<subtype
android:imeSubtypeExtraValue="EmojiCapable,AsciiCapable,TrySuppressingImeSwitcher"
android:imeSubtypeMode="keyboard"
android:label="%s"
android:overridesImplicitlyEnabledSubtype="true" />
<subtype
android:imeSubtypeExtraValue="AsciiCapable"
android:imeSubtypeLocale="en_US"
android:imeSubtypeMode="keyboard"
android:isAsciiCapable="true" />
</input-method>
AndroidManifest.xml
file, as shown below.android:name
of the service to the class name that was created in step 6.For example:
|
|
Finally, download & copy the English language pack resourceArchive-en-US.jet to the assets/encrypted
folder of the main app module.
assets/encrypted
directory is absent by default on new projects unless created manually.
For example:
With a terminal open at the root of the android project, and with the provided language pack stored in the ~/Downloads
folder:
Create the encrypted
folder inside the assets
folder:
$ mkdir -p app/src/main/assets/encrypted
Copy the language pack to the assets/encrypted
folder:
$ cp ~/Downloads/resourceArchive-en-US.jet app/src/main/assets/encrypted
Add ABI split to the app’s module build.gradle
file to build APKs with only the necessary dynamic libraries for each architecture. This reduces the APK size delivered to users.
