Is there a class or code snippet to create our own Keyboard, instead of using the defaults?

Just create a "activity" and the "result" keep it in a "Process Global" variable

You want a "own" keyboard for application.


So, add an "activity module" to your project, where you define the keyboard you want to use and call it whenever necessary.

In fact the most "decent" thing would be to make a class and call it when you need it (on click of each field)

1 - Just out of curiosity ... why do you want your own keyboard?

2- Let's figure that you want to make an application for those who only speak "Klingon" ... then you do an "activity" called "my keyboard" with its respective "layout" and define the "symbols" and you go capturing the "symbols" selected by the user. ..

At the end you save all symbols in a "global" variable.

Note:
every time the user clicks on a field, you call the activity "my keyboard"
