Does anyone know how to enable popup on keypress? I believe this was an option in a past version.
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
From the settings ?? See screenshot

Tapatyping from my Nexus 4
[Android Apps and Games] numbere:
So you're enabling popup on keypress in aosp keyboard and it then works on nextapp keyboard?
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
Sorry attached the wrong screenshot,open NextApp Keyboards settings
[Android Apps and Games] numbere:
I appreciate your help. However, I don't have that option under settings. Below is a screenshot.
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
Weird what version are you using ? I am on 0.88

Thats my beta ran out so no more material theme :crying:
[Android Apps and Games] numbere:
Same version .88, I lost the popup on keypress option roughly 2 or 3 updates ago. I feel your pain and looking forward to a paid release.
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Sorry everyone, new release uploaded to play store and available here:

http://android.nextapp.com/keyboard/r89/NAK_r89.apk

Regrettably it's another *$(# trial extension, I really need to get this out but new features for FX have been driving me mad (and taking much longer than they should to implement).
[Android Apps and Games] finneko:
Well thank you for trial anyway!
[Android Apps and Games] enban:
I would gladly pay for this keyboard: it is difficult nowadays to find a good IME that doesn't request "full network access". Hope that NAK goes out of beta soon. :good:

This app still has the permission:

Also, contacts and accounts permissions.

The only keyboard app which has low-permission and no networks is the open-source Hacker's keyboard, http://code.google.com/p/hackerskeyboard/ .

The permissions that it requires are only :

It would be great to have a low permission version.

Is it possible to customize to have the arrow keys in the main keyset, as I use it a lot when typing to correct mistakes, i.e.
[Android Apps and Games] numbere:
Enabling pc layout under keyboard settings will give arrow keys on the main keyset.
[Android Apps and Games] enban:
You're right: I realized that just after publishing my post. I'm getting a bit paranoid on this. I tried a lot of keyboards from the stores and now that I've found one that look ok to me I'm monitoring it so check if it sends data towards the external space... Maybe Google should disallow "internet" permissions for keyboards, once and for all.
[Android Apps and Games] Eun-Hjzjined:
Remember, this keyboard has support for voice typing. that's where I think the network and background download permissions come into play. Let me know if I'm wrong. Nonetheless, I've never noticed any data from this keyboard being sent or downloaded, unless I'm using voice typing.
[Android Apps and Games] springer.music:
Have you changed/reduced the dpi of your screen?

I've noticed that both the standard AOSP and NextApp keyboard have some pop-up issues when changing to a dpi different from the standard value for the device.

For example, I have a Note 3 with CM11.

At standard dpi (480 for Note 3) all pop-ups work fine.

At 320 dpi (phablet UI) the key pop ups do not work on short key press (and the option doesn't show up under settings). Additionally, Settings > Advanced settings > Key pop-up dismiss delay crashes as soon as you select it.

At 240 dpi (which brings up the full tablet UI) neither the short key press nor the long key press (for alt characters) work. Also gesture trail doesn't work at this dpi.

To the developer: is there anything you can do to fix this?

Thank you

Backup/restore custom dictionary?

Hello :)

I really like to see backup/restore option for dictionary. I have typed quite a number of Finnish words to NextApp Keyboard dictionary (in Finnish language the words can/will bend really multiple ways etc.). It would be huge loss if I somehow lost those typed words. :( So please, can you make custom dictionary backup and restore possible?

And I really, really like to buy this best keyboard already. I know this is my keyboard! :good:
[Android Apps and Games] iXNyNe:
Looks like the beta has expired again :( would love to be able to pay for a permanent copy
[Android Apps and Games] TechnoSparks:
Yeah i am not even decided on which theme to use at all. :/
[Android Apps and Games] dd043:
I love google's keyboard but its lack of customization make it impractical. I was very happy to find NextApp keyboard by coincidence after installing pretty much all your apps! They are very nicely done and I admire how intuitive your designs are.

I would love to suggest a few things, some have already been mentioned so consider it an upvote:

[

Make the Fn keys work with ConnectBot and its derivative please! the PC layout is glorious for this usage, but no Fn keys is a deal breaker (for me).

Add a tab key to the pc layout. You made it easy to access the arrow/Fn/tab panel but it is still a slow down to always switch when programming or typing a path.

Support switching language by swiping the space bar horizontally. The language key is making the spacebar ridiculously short in portrait on a 4" phone and long pressing space to popup input dialog just breaks the flow when switching language in a short time (replying to two different person within the same chat app for instance). Simultaneous dual language like Swype/Kii would be even better, but they are probably harder to do and to be honest I'm happy with NextApp staying close to AOSP!

My last one depends on google's library, so I do not really count on it:

- Support swiping shortcuts such as 123 -> a = select all, 123 -> c = copy, 123 -> v = paste.

In advance I should politely acknowledge that I've requested a lot and please, please don't see this as under-appreciation of your work! Myself as a developer I'm usually annoyed when people make long request lists, but I end up agreeing with a few things and see some value :p

Other than that like everybody in this thread I'd really love to see a premium version in the store :)
[Android Apps and Games] numbere:
Yes, I'm using an S4 with Slimrom and a lower DPI then stock. Popup works with AOSP keyboard no matter the DPI setting. However, there was no settings option for popup after reverting DPI to stock with nextapp keyboard.
[Android Apps and Games] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Sigh, seems to have expired again.
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
[MENTION=2954544]tliebeck[/MENTION] what do we have to do for you to take our money :D seriously I would happily donate for the keyboard as is,do it buddy these betas expiring is just not cricket dear boy

[Android Apps and Games] finneko:
Back to Swype. It was nice to use this, but these expires are ridiculous. Maybe some year this is ready...
[Android Apps and Games] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Agreed. This has been going on for 9 months. Let's birth this baby :) .

I've moved back to the lollipop keyboard from the play store.

Gesture (swiping), just works.. Never expires..
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Sorry all, extremely busy with next version of FX. Uploaded extension (again). Just plain buried at the moment.
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
Seriously let us donate and that way you can focus on other projects and put this on the back burner if needs must,must be a hassle for you this way
[Android Apps and Games] TechnoSparks:
I may sound rude, but please please please remove the expiry timer for the beta. I would extremely appreciate that and I will let you take my money once it was released officially. :crying:

But if you disagree, it is fine. :D

Thanks for the awesome keyboard. Currently still using it, but I hate the holo keyboard theme but meh, NextApp Keyboard is better than the others so why should I bother! :fingers-crossed:

I have tried the direct download a couple of times both from computer and phone and cannot get it to install get a simple cannot install error ? anyone else got it updated ?

[Android Apps and Games] Darnell_Chat_TN:
It would at least be nice if a version were release with a 3 month expiration. The latest release is another 1 month expiration.
[Android Apps and Games] TechnoSparks:
That will do as well. But lets just hope he could finally (I am not pressuring him) finish the Fx File Explorer and get this keyboard born into the wild! :angel:
[Android Apps and Games] Darnell_Chat_TN:

Update Play Store version please

The Play Store copy was never updated from v0.88, which expired some time ago. And the present v0.9 expires in a matter of days.
[Android Apps and Games] iXNyNe:
I didn't even realize there was a 0.9 until today. Seems to be completely missing the themes options
[Android Apps and Games] finneko:
Appears to be dead project :(
[Android Apps and Games] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Go to http://android.nextapp.com/keyboard/ the latest is r90.

But the "paid" features expire soon and there is no "paid" version we can buy yet.
[Android Apps and Games] iXNyNe:
I can tell he's busy with other projects, fx just got a great overhaul and is in beta.

Hopefully there will be a paid version soon. I've got some goggle play credit burning a hole in my pocket.
[Android Apps and Games] finneko:
I believe when I see some progress in the development...
[Android Apps and Games] digiowl:
Don't recall if i have asked this before, but could this keyboard be made to also handle the layout of a bluetooth keyboard?

On older Android versions one can't pick the layout, instead the OSK is to be used as intermediary.
[Android Apps and Games] Darnell_Chat_TN:
FX just got an update and this keyboard's best features expire tomorrow. Please update this app. Give us a Christmas gift and allow us to purchase and help fund your gift shopping [emoji41] .
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Had to issue another beta update (on Play Store, also here: http://android.nextapp.com/keyboard/r91/NAK_r91.apk ) as it's just too close to the deadline. While FX 4.0 is out there's still a bit more to go in the release process (e.g. taking 70,000 screenshots, updating threads/play store icons :D).
[Android Apps and Games] iXNyNe:
;) no pressure
[Android Apps and Games] Mitsaras94:
Great app there, keep up the good work !!!

Needs Better Task Efficient Integration

I was hoping to see this replace Swype (and its overlay view method) - but it seems to be designed more towards a PC keyboard replacement, than as an efficient/sliding typing tool.

Thanks! I'll continue to follow the updates & bug fixes.
[Android Apps and Games] deco32:
I've registered on xda just to say: THANK YOU. I love your keyboard. All I wanted was a keyboard with arrows and customizable height :).

I found a bug: the emoji panel height doesn't match the keyboard. If I set my height to be much shorter than default and then I tap the emoji key the panel will jump around and fall back into place, using half my screen (instead of 1/3).

While there is an option to allow "offensive" words, even when checked it still goes out of his way to suggest anything but what I want.

eg the f word becomes duck. **** becomes sit shot shut.

Edit: Well looks like xda is pretty anal about words too :/.

If I have many languages set (English and German currently) I wish I could switch my swiping the space bar or some long press shortcuts.

Enabling the language switch key makes the spacebar extremely short (read:unusable).

It's annoying to long press the space bar then reach the middle of the screen, it breaks the flow.
[Android Apps and Games] meisanerd:
Quick question, this may be the wrong place...

I am currently running a Sony Xperia Z3, with the stock firmware. I personally use the Enter key way more than the Smiley key, but since the SMS app is a Sony-specific one, and not the Google one, none of the mods out there seem to be able to change it to show enter by default. Is this something that could be added to settings for this keyboard?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] iXNyNe:
Using this keyboard there is always an enter key on the functions portion of the keyboard. Press the Fn key and you'll see it just above the space bar. This isn't as convenient as forcing the keyboard to always show the enter key, but at least you're not missing functionality.
[Android Apps and Games] journeyman73:
I really like this keyboard & would definitely move on to a pro version. Any chance of giving the user the option to increase or decrease the size of the font in the key popup? I like changing my screen's DPI & when I do some of the lower case letters like q or g gets cut off at the bottom because of the larger font on the key popup
[Android Apps and Games] springer.music:
Hey tliebeck, will you be updating NextApp Keyboard with material themes at some point, please?

Also, the latest beta expires tomorrow, Jan 17. Any chance of an update?

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] journeyman73:
There is actually a dark material theme available now in the [Theme Paid Feature Test] section of settings
[Android Apps and Games] springer.music:
Yep, I know that but I think it was based off the L preview.

It would be great to have that updated and maybe add a light variant as well.

Also, the beta will expire tomorrow and all the extra features (including themes) will stop working.
[Android Apps and Games] Darnell_Chat_TN:
And I just went back to stock. I will use this keyboard again when all the beta stuff ends and it is a final product.

This is a great keyboard and using it in beta for almost a full year has been fun. But that is enough beta for me.
[Android Apps and Games] dd043:
I'm with you on this. It's the best AOSP keyboard (that I know of) but the beta thing is annoying. I'm even willing to pay as is, but please NextAPP, stop messing with us and release it or extend the beta for a significant period 3+ months...
[Android Apps and Games] springer.music:
Beta extended.

Hopefully we'll see an update shortly as I have some issues with Firefox and chrome when in landscape mode (flickering/disappearing of part of the keyboard) on a Nexus 6.
[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
I don't get it. Why go back to stock, when this keyboard works fine and has way more functionality than stock even with beta features turned off ?
[Android Apps and Games] springer.music:
Most likely because some of the extra features stop working every time a beta version expires.

Plus there seem to be some issues (see my previous post) on Lollipop (at least on a Nexus 6)
[Android Apps and Games] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Exactly, the additional features while nice have lost their "additive" factor for me. Especially, when I wake up one morning about monthly and the whole layout I prefer is gone. So, I really like the stock Material Light theme and can live with a little additional effort to get some things done with it. At least I know, it will work and be the same as I set it up, every day.

I don't say what I'm doing to go back and forth over it. I've been using this keyboard since it first came out. I've got paid versions of every app this Dev has made except the WebSharing app. I really like their work. But till this one is out of the oven, I'll live without it. I do keep a subscription to this thread. In hopes it goes final at some point. But, even my subscription may end depending how much longer it takes. I'm just done with having an app that keeps expiring and having to be updated just to work the way I desire. And when I say "work" I mean including the theme I desire.
[Android Apps and Games] BenG7:
Hi,

Sorry, could some detail how to set this up please?

What am I supposed to download off google play and point to please so that i may use swipe typing?

Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
See my post #208 for example... There's more info all the way through post #223 or so. In my case I just used a library already available on my phone (stock nexus 4) which made gesture typing work:

[Android Apps and Games] BenG7:
Thanks a lot sordna
[Android Apps and Games] anonymous-bot:
I only recently decided to give this keyboard a try but I rather like it thus far, I only have a couple comments/suggestions:

1. Anyway to make the spacebar wider? The presence of the Fn key and wide search key makes the spacebar rather narrow on my phone especially in portrait mode.

2. Will you adding a launcher icon for the Settings? My launcher actually added the icon but I accidentally deleted it. Having to constantly navigate into Android Settings is rather tedious.
[Android Apps and Games] finneko:
I really like to see this. I hope this could be possible in future.
[Android Apps and Games] Eun-Hjzjined:
Or maybe have have option to long press spacebar for function keys. I never use the quick switch for language or to change ime, so getting rid of the fn key, and setting spacebar long press makes sense, right?
[Android Apps and Games] anonymous-bot:
I would just make the function keys as another keyboard page like how there is the symbols page. I have one button to switch between the standard alphabet, symbols, and function keys.
[Android Apps and Games] iXNyNe:
There's already two symbols pages on the standard keyboard (and they are included here) and the functions keyboard also has two pages. Both of these use an additional key to switch to the second page.

Example symbols from second page:

~`|•√Π÷×¶∆£¢€¥^π°²{}©®™℅[]¡¿_<>,./

The second page of functions keys is all ^letters (ex: ^A ^B ^C) and I'm not sure what they do. In command prompt ^C is "close" but I haven't seen this work (I think I tried it on an rdp session) and the regular keyboard equivalent is Ctrl+c, and there is a Ctrl button on the functions keyboard so I'm really not sure if this extra page is just duplicate functionality or what.
[Android Apps and Games] ericlnu:
^ is control key, typically seen in UNIX/Linux technical texts. So ^c is kill the foreground process, sending a signal 2 to it. SIGINT IIRC.

It would be nice to have Tab on the first page, as you use that a lot in shell.
[Android Apps and Games] anonymous-bot:
Well one solution would to have just one key to switch between all pages. This might be inconvenient if you need to switch between both symbol pages though. However I only really need the large spacebar on the main alphabetical keyboard.
[Android Apps and Games] GermainZ:
If you enable the numbers row, both symbols pages will be merged into one which is pretty neat.
[Android Apps and Games] Eun-Hjzjined:
OK, so I just extracted the newest typing lib from Google keyboard.

Doesn't work. Size is evil (666) must mean something.

Either way, my old upload (post 13) still works, and should work for everyone. Don't know why people are having issues with it.
[Android Apps and Games] jesta192:
This keyboard looks interesting (and so far it is working well, once I was able to download the gesture library).

This seems like a perfect opportunity to address what I call the "dotcom" problem with Google's keyboard, where whenever you swipe ".com" it adds a space after the dot (as in ". Com"). In regular text I could let this slide, but in a URL bar it should be obvious that this isn't desirable. Any chance this could be fixed in your keyboard?
[Android Apps and Games] springer.music:
Hi Tod, the beta will expire again in a couple of days.

Any chance of an update?

Or if you're too busy with other projects, would it be possible to extend the beta period for a longer period, e.g. 3 to 6 months?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] finneko:
This have asked many times, without answer IIRC. :(
[Android Apps and Games] Darnell_Chat_TN:
That's right, the app has now been in Beta for over a year. With trials running out and only ever getting 1 month extension. I'm just running stock and monitoring this thread, till the beta ends.
[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
I'm happily running this app without any issue. What's the big deal? It's the best keyboard by far and works perfectly. I don't care about themes. At one point I didn't even update it even though the "beta expired" for weeks and there was no loss of functionality. It works perfectly as a keyboard should.
[Android Apps and Games] meisanerd:
The big deal is that some of us are using those extra features, but are getting tired of having them break once every few weeks while we wait for the dev to upload a new beta version, when we would be perfectly happy to pay for the keyboard just the way it is.
[Android Apps and Games] sordna:
I don't see why folks go to stock through. You could turn off the extra features, and it will still better than stock! I just love this keyboard :)
[Android Apps and Games] Darnell_Chat_TN:
It's a matter of personal preference. I don't see my keyboard breaking every few weeks as being better than stock. It's a great app and I will gladly pay the moment it leaves beta. I used it for almost a year in its present "beta" state. I am happily content with stock until this keyboard leaves beta.

Given the Dev has made zero off the app after a full year. It would seem no loss if all features were made available now, with no time limitations. And they could be locked up later once an RTM version is out.
[Android Apps and Games] RobLudo:
Beta period just expired.. I would pay to avoid the theme switching every time.

The beta has been extended till April
[Android Apps and Games] Darnell_Chat_TN:
Although not my default keyboard, I have the app installed. And there's an update for it on Google Play now too. Looks like the "Beta" has been extended 60 days. I sincerely hope, that we don't see a year of 60 day betas, after a full year of 30 day betas :D . I see absolutely nothing functionally, that should prevent the app from being v1.0 and beyond.

Let's get it out of Beta and a paid version :good: .

Given the unprecedented beta extension of 60 instead of 30 days. I'm making it my default keyboard again, in hopes this is the last of the beta-train :cowboy: .
