General question: do you have an "NextApp Keyboard" icon in your launcher? It's missing on some of my test devices, but seems to reappear after reinstallation. My manifest looks correct, and it's fine on some devices. Just wanted to ask people to please let me know if you do not see the icon installed in your launcher, and I'll investigate further. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Dhiraj:
I had nextapp icon in my launcher ,but after reboot it has gone.

I am on miui ROM, android 4.2. Where can I get binary file for typing library?
[Android Apps and Games] retiredtrebor:
I had the icon for a while, but it is gone now. Using Nocturnals GPE ROM, with kernal by Gruesome on Sprint HTC One.

Go to settings, Language & input, should find it there.
[Android Apps and Games] elban:
I have it, but it's named "android keyboard".

language packs

WHERE are the language packs for multilingual version???????
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Apologies, the initial beta has only English, the standard language packs from ASOP are going back in with the next release.
[Android Apps and Games] Darnell_Chat_TN:
These screen shots should answer all questions.

1) Google Search installed, running, up to date. See the 1st screen shot.

2) I know where the settings are and the settings are correct. See the 2nd screen shot.

3) There is no mic. See the 3rd screen shot.
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
One more idea... is "Google Voice Typing" enabled when you go to "Set up input methods"?
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Were you able to install the library from the Google keyboard?
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Beta Release: 0.23:

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.inputmethod.latin

Direct Download: http://android.nextapp.com/keyboard/r23/NAK_r23.apk

Changes in this release:

Added French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazilian), Russian, and Spanish dictionaries from AOSP keyboard.

Added ability to test features of the future paid version. THIS IS TURNED OFF BY DEFAULT, and needs be turned on in the settings before any paid features are accessible.

Added theming capabilities (paid feature, and a very early version of it).

For those who are not familiar with my previous products: my philosophy on free/paid stuff is that the free product needs to be able to stand on its own as a great piece of software. I dislike the way most developers make unusable/ad-riddled free versions and put everything of use in the paid item. As an example of my opinion in practice, take a look at the FX thread here on XDA: it has continually seen *major* features added to the free version over the years (in that case, more code has been added to the free than to the paid).

And of course, everything that existed in the previous version is still absolutely free, and there's more to come.
[Android Apps and Games] DennisvandePut:
Is it possible to add Dutch as laguage too? Otherwise it's a perfect keyboard.
[Android Apps and Games] ch3ck3rs:
Sorry to ask again but.... Any way to increase the amount of fields that give the user auto correction and/or next word prediction? It's frustrating to rely on those features while sending an sms but then not have them work while typing in chrome or google search. This is the only reason I use SwiftKey over the Google keyboard. Would definitely make the keyboard worth buying. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Darnell_Chat_TN:
That was it :good: :o

Somehow Perfect Keyboard does not need that to be set for it's mic setting to work. But now I'm happy it is working with the NextApp Keyboard, since yours does more :cool: .

And I can use CARRIAGE RETURN in SMS with your Keyboard. I've been starving to have carriage return back, thank you :o .

I also like the Themes in the paid test.

You've got at least one buyer once you launch the paid version. That's for certain! I've been a long time user of your System Panel app, paid version. It was one of my very first apps when I moved from Windows Mobile to Android years ago. You always do top notch work.

One idea for you. In Perfect Keyboard, when I use voice to text. Instead of it simply typing what I might have said and possibly typing some words in error. It shows a list of possibilities for what I might have said. Then I select the one I feel best matches what I said. This slows the process of texting down a bit, but can be nice to have when desired.
[Android Apps and Games] Publiuss:
Wow, this keyboard is really a killer-app!

The languages added make now worth of chosing it as default kayboard and premium themes are really sweet!
[Android Apps and Games] rainyguy:
Nice :) not sure if possible, would be nice to have Chinese language input here.

The default Google keyboard does not have that but Google has the "Google Pinyin Input" keyboard but it is an hassle to switch around. ;)

The theming section (using holox) looks good. Feels happier typing now. Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
I need to look into how the AOSP keyboard is managing add-on dictionaries. The standard AOSP keyboard doesn't appear to have any option to retrieve one (at least not enabled, though it's very likely in the code). The Google keyboard is automatically downloading a Dutch dictionary. I'm looking into add-on dictionaries as a very high priority item (for all languages where they're available).
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Thanks! I think supporting Chinese would be a bit beyond my skillset. I'm imagine that to write a good Chinese keyboard, you need to first be very skilled with the language.
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Thanks for the suggestion, will be looking into this. I've somewhat been thinking about a manual autocorrect on/off key on the main keyboard (or some other very quick means of turning it on/off). Autocorrect is both the best and worst thing about typing on a smartphone/tablet, especially when you're alternating between writing technical stuff that can't possibly be in the dictionary and regular language.
[Android Apps and Games] rainyguy:
Hehe. Thanks.

Is it possible to like copy from that Google Pinyin keyboard and paste it in? Sorry, bit of naive thinking from someone who doesn't know programming etc. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Dhiraj:
I have installed the library, but no gesture support .
[Android Apps and Games] Eun-Hjzjined:

[Android Apps and Games] elban:
disappeared with last update.
[Android Apps and Games] ch3ck3rs:
Thanks for looking into this. It's just frustrating to become so dependent on the auto correct/text prediction feature and then have to totally ignore it once you have to type in a different field that doesn't support it. It's hard to get in a flow.

Beta Release: 0.28:

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.inputmethod.latin

Direct Download: http://android.nextapp.com/keyboard/r28/NAK_r28.apk

Changes in this release:

Added ability to adjust size of keyboard (independently in portrait and landscape).

Added "Midnight" theme.

Added "precision feedback" feature. This is a paid feature which varies the amount of vibration based on how accurately you press a key (larger vibration toward the edge, soft vibration for accurate center presses). Please let me know what you think of this. One note on this feature: it won't CAUSE you to make mistakes...it may feel that way initially though as it provides a bit of a "jolt" at the key edge.
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Closed source, sorry...happy to take suggestions though!
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
This is definitely on the todo list. Currently themes let you choose it, but it's hardcoded to the theme.
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Thanks, but how would this work? There's already the option to tap a non-dictionary completion, at which point you can "touch again to save".
[Android Apps and Games] cool.darshak:
Exactly that is two step ...first type new word..then u have to press "touch again to save". Am asking for feature lik swift key or Swype wherein you don't have to touch again to save new word..as you type new word ..It will try to auto correct or if is not in dictionary then just it just saves that words automatically in dictionary without doing touch again to save
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
This seems like it would have significant potential to add invalid words to the dictionary though.
[Android Apps and Games] cool.darshak:
Well for me its gift..No need to tap twice ..just new word and kaboom its in dictionary...u can give an option whether to auto add new words or ask to add ..that would be simplest solution for both requirement ..win win situation

Beta Release: 0.32:

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.inputmethod.latin

Direct Download: http://android.nextapp.com/keyboard/r32/NAK_r32.apk

Changes in this release:

Added "Edit Mode" to Fn keyboard. You can select between this mode and the "function key" mode by tapping the mode button, the third key on the left side in the bottom row. These keys send the standard control keys. The undo/redo buttons require a supporting product, e.g. FX TextEdit, AIDE, QuickOffice, or Jota.

Added word-left and word-right keys. These fire Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Right.

Revamped symbol keyboards: now every symbol except for these 8: [ ] { } ` ~ ^ | are on the primary symbol keyboard.

Added workarounds for annoying behaviors in QuickOffice and other apps where keyboard is reset back to alphabet state.

Edit: the R32 changes are all in the free version.
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:

[Android Apps and Games] mdalacu:
Please, don't forget about numbers row.
[Android Apps and Games] freelsd:
It would be great if you could add Phrase gesture: Insert spaces during gesture typing, by sliding to the space key like in Google Keyboard.

Thanks in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] Darnell_Chat_TN:
The version on the Play Store is still 0.28. Will the Play Store version be updated to R32 soon?
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Thanks, not sure what happened, it was somehow stuck as a "draft" release. Now published and should be available soon.
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Will definitely be looking into this, but it may not be in place by v1.0 (which may be very soon, provided current and next release prove solid).
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
I'm not certain if the framework for this is even in the AOSP yet, and I don't have access to the gesture typing source...so I don't know if it will be possible to do this, short of implementing the entirety of an all-new gesture typing framework myself (which would likely take a very very long time).
[Android Apps and Games] digiowl:
Will this support multiple dictionaries at some point?
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
I'm not sure what's going on here yet, I think we're doing everything the AOSP keyboard is (code is unchanged) but I'm not seeing a means to install additional dictionaries enabled in the standard AOSP keyboard build. Google is extending this a bit with their keyboard implementation to allow you to download/install them. Looking into it.

Beta Release: 0.39:

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.inputmethod.latin

Direct Download: http://android.nextapp.com/keyboard/r39/NAK_r39.apk

Changes in this release:

Added option to use five-row keyboard with permanent number keys. In this mode all symbols are placed on a single-level symbols screen.

Added option to only use five-row keyboard in portrait mode.

Added "control+letter" mode to control key keyboard.
[Android Apps and Games] mdalacu:
Thanks for the numbered row. Great.
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Thanks, currently working on adding the ability to also reduce the size of the number row (relative to the other rows). Also adding this capability (via different setting) to the bottom (spacebar) row.
[Android Apps and Games] freelsd:
Thanks for the good work! What about free space after switching layout?
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
The function keyboard still needs a good bit of work to take advantage of five-row mode.

In addition to the additional space, the need for the "quick access" to the PC keyboard symbols on these become irrelevant. The function layouts may be entirely redone for 5-row mode, but there needs to be consistency for users who have their configuration set to 4-row in landscape and 5-row in portrait.

I'm almost thinking of making 4-row landscape + 5-row portrait the default configuration.
[Android Apps and Games] freelsd:
Ok, I'll wait for the next updates.
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
Will definitely be donating

Would love to see keyboard resizing (smaller) and is there a way to get 5 row landscape?
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Thanks, and yes, just change the setting to 5-row setting to "Always use 5-row". (Actually changed to now be called "Always show number row" in upcoming release).

Keyboard resizing is currently available for all keys in the released version, and the upcoming release has the ability to tweak the height of number row and bottom (spacebar) row. And all sizing stuff is configured independently for portrait vs. landscape layouts.
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
Sorry I was not clear, I mean 5 row landscape only, I dont like the 5 rows in portrait but would like it in landscape, and with the keyboard resizing I can only make it bigger not smaller,I would like if possible to shrink the keyboard slightly

Thanks again for a very useful keyboard

This feature is currently not available.

Whats the feeling about adding 5 row landscape only ?
[Android Apps and Games] jeswinjv:
Suggntion does not worKz....:confused: :eek:

via Tapatalk
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
I have no real objection to adding it, but didn't realize it would be desired. How would you personally use this feature and why would you not want it also in portrait mode? (Asking this honestly, not rhetorically.) I followed the stock keyboard's path of allowing the suggestion bar to be on or off, or on only in portrait mode.

Only thing I can think of is a user wanting suggestion mode on in portrait without numbers, and suggestion mode off in landscape with numbers.
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
I suppose its how I use my phone,to my eye 4 row in portrait looks "neater" and is enough for "general" use,I tend to only use landscape if I am doing more advanced stuff where I find having a 5th row more useful,at the moment I use tasker to change to hackers keyboard for a few apps because of the added keys(arrows etc) which it adds in landscape,I don't need them all the time and tends to make it look crowded in portait,

Now am interested to hear how others use their keyboard :p

Thanks for responding
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Thanks, won't be in the next release (just uploaded, posting in a moment), but will try and make this option available in a future version.
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Is "Show Correction Suggestions" set to be enabled in both landscape and portrait modes? By default, suggestions are only shown in portrait mode (this is slightly different from the behavior of the stock keyboard, as we don't use the "fullscreen keyboard mode" in landscape and thus need to preserve as much space as possible for the app. It can be turned on in all modes by changing that setting though.
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Beta Release: 0.44:

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.inputmethod.latin (Just uploaded, may take an hour to become available)

Direct Download: http://android.nextapp.com/keyboard/r44/NAK_r44.apk

Changes in this release:

Added ability to set the size of number row and bottom row of keyboard. The heights can be set between 50-100% under advanced settings, and are independently configurable for portrait and landscape orientations. A value of 100% indicates these rows should be the same height as the central rows.

The number row now has a default height of 75% in portrait mode and 65% in landscape.

The bottom row now has a default height of 85% in landscape mode *IF* the number row is enabled. It is otherwise 100% as previously.

The "," key now displays 24 symbols instead of 8. Comments appreciated on the ordering of those symbols.

The number keys now have the standard shift symbols when long pressed (!@#$%^&*()).

Between the number keys and additional keys on the ',' key, you can long-press your way to any symbol on a standard PC keyboard.

Number-row preferences were reset due to an internal change (apologies, they can be reset with settings and should be kept from this point forward).
[Android Apps and Games] bombadier:
[MENTION=2954544]tliebeck[/MENTION]

Some feedback, could you reorganise the numbers page to be like a keypad?

Symbols long press, would like to see @ ! moved more to the right as well as currency, not just $, £ € possibly linked to language selected (ie Uk english gets the £ by default) dont know if thats possible?
[Android Apps and Games] Publiuss:
Hi

Thanks for this keyboard, it's bettering over and over!

But I still don't get the use of "alt" key... :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] mystik1:
I thought how great it would be to use a keyboard by a developer we could communicate with and that would be open to feedback and suggestions. So, I'm hoping this will work out. :) I use Remote Desktop extensively - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xtralogic.android.rdpclient&hl=en There are some keyboards that work through Remote Desktop (when I say work, I mean suggestions and corrections) such as Kii Keyboard, Smart Keyboard, TouchPal X, and Go Keyboard. All of these keyboards have quirks, though. So, I'm still on the hunt. Can you make your keyboard offer suggestions and perform auto-corrections and fixes through Remote Desktop?
[Android Apps and Games] Darnell_Chat_TN:
An optional feature I think would be nice. Is when a letter key is held, if it would change the selected letter from lower case to caps for just that moment. This would eliminate the need for the shift key
[Android Apps and Games] freelsd:
If the system language is set to English, the keyboard called NextApp Keyboard. But if Russian - Keyboard Android (AOSP). Please fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Beta Release: 0.58:

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.inputmethod.latin (Just uploaded, may take an hour to become available)

Direct Download: http://android.nextapp.com/keyboard/r58/NAK_r58.apk

Changes in this release:

Special sound/vibration played when autocorrections are made (on by default, can be disabled).

New five-row keyboard layouts for function keyboard.

Ability to enable/disable symbols on function keyboard (Now disabled by default, re-enable via advanced settings).

"Quick settings keyboard" now opens when you press the settings key, enabling instant access to enable/disable number row, suggestion bar, and autocorrect (as well as access to standard settings screen and language selector). (On by default, but can be turned off.)

Fixed custom keyboard layouts configurator.

Improved keyboard layouts for Dvorak, Colemak (e.g. removed obnoxious standard Dvorak layout with Q/Z keys in space bar row).

Revised punctuation press-hold layout (period key).

Symbols key text is now (+% instead of 123? when number row is enabled.

Number keys removed from alternates list for top row keys when number row is enabled.

Ability to choose "landscape-only" setting for number row and/or suggestion bar.

The new PC QWERTY layout. I would like to make this easier to access in a future version (without dealing with "custom input styles"/"input languages" nonsense):

5-row function keyboard:

Symbol keys are now DISABLED BY DEFAULT on the function keyboard. They can be re-enabled under the advanced settings.

The new "Quick Settings" keyboard. This now shows up when you press the settings key, instead of the standard popup dialog box:

(Again, you can get the old/standard behavior back from advanced settings.)
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Thanks and apologies for not seeing this, will fix (it's not in 0.58 though).
[Android Apps and Games] Publiuss:
Same thing in Italian; but it's not a big issue.
[Android Apps and Games] freelsd:
It's okay, I'll wait.

Can you add different color schemes for the keyboard? (like Google Keyboard)
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
This will be going in, but I'm thinking al themeing functions will be in the paid item.

I'm contemplating making themes the only paid feature, not sure if "precision vibration" will stay in paid set or become free...TBD.
[Android Apps and Games] freelsd:
I don't mind.

P.S. Tod, I've sent you a PM's. Please read them and get back to me. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
I've temporarily changed the Google Play Listing for this app to just be called "Keyboard". I'm not sure what the issue is, but this app is seeing next to no downloads at the moment. I think this has something to do with the fact that even "zebra themes" for other keyboards outrank this product in search results. Apologies for the inconvenience, but now it at least shows up (as number 90-something) when you search for keyboards.
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Thanks, replied!
[Android Apps and Games] freelsd:
And in addition, the app icon is not appropriate for the keyboard.

Will it change? I like Tango icons. :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
Icon is definitely a temporary item, especially the stuff on the Play Store. All Play Store graphics and screenshots also need to be redone.
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
I downloaded one of the apks from this thread, but decided against installing it due to the permission: network, download files without notification

searched thread no info regards to permission, I assume that the aosp keyboard has this permission, but is it necessary?

One of the first issues of hackers keyboard was to create a minimal permission version, and after installing latest version in just asks for read user dictionary and vibration I believe, which is perfect for me.

The only thing missing is multi language word suggestions, it only suggest when english is selected.

Will you be willing to create a minimal permission version ?

Does this keyboard support multi language word suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] tliebeck:
It should suggest words from its built-in languages, believe they are English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Russian, and Brazilian Portugese. The ability to download additonal languages still needs to be added (still need to determine whether the AOSP keyboard is supposed to be able to do this).

Permissions are the same as the stock AOSP keyboard, none have been added or removed. There is no network access permission, only the ability to test if network connectivity is available, and, if so, to use the download manager to retrieve additional keyboard data. There is no means for the keyboard to send data (which is of course a critical concern).
