Android No on Screen Keybord ( Only Voice )

Android no on screen keybord ( only voice )

Boot into recovery then mount system and open file manager (in the recovery).

Then search for keyboard files in /system/app or /system/priv-app. If they are not there then download the APK and put in the /system/app/<keyboard package name>/apk directory.

Hide microphone button Android virtual keyboard

You can't force the user input through anything other than pre-defined keyboards that already exist in the user's device.

The only way you could get around this is by programming your own custom, on-the-fly keyboard, and that is a very bad idea.

Just disable voice input programmatically by using XML declarations in the EditText you're looking at. You can do this with the attribute:

android:privateImeOptions="nm"

How to override voice input key on Android keyboard?

No, you can't change the behavior of the default keyboard like that. There's no API to do so, to override what a single key does. If you want this you need to interact with the speech to text API yourself, without using the keyboard. This is built into Android (assuming the phone has a voice provider downloaded), and the API allows the voice provider to return multiple possible results. Whether a given voice provider does or not (remember the user and OEM can install any speech to text provider they want) is something you'd have to experiment and find out.

Android on-screen keyboard auto popping up

You can use the following line of code in the activity's onCreate method to make sure the keyboard only pops up when a user clicks into an EditText

this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN); 

Android: Unable to launch Google Voice Typing programmatically

As far as I know you cannot programmatically pick a specific Input Method Editor (IME) (e.g. Google Voice Typing) to be used in your application, and you cannot even tag your input fields to demand voice input (see Start Android keyboard in voice recognition mode).

SwiftKey itself is an IME, thus it can call something like setInputMethodAndSubtype to change to a different IME.

Open soft keyboard programmatically

I have used the following lines to display the soft keyboard manually inside the onclick event, and the keyboard is visible.

InputMethodManager inputMethodManager =
    (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputMethodManager.toggleSoftInputFromWindow(
    linearLayout.getApplicationWindowToken(),
    InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, 0);

But I'm still not able to open this while the activity gets opened, so are there any solution for this?
