Issue:
I use a BT keyboard and Evernote for taking notes in my lectures. Everything works fine but the on screen keyboard pops up whenever I tap on a word to edit it or add more notes in between.
I want to know if it's possible to make an app that will disable the on screen keyboard from popping up when I'm using a my BT keyboard.
I'm using Cyanogen 6.1 RC1.

Possible? Yes, absolutely.
Does using a BT keyboard require you to select a specific input method? If not, a makeshift way to do it would be to download one of the Miimote apps and select that as your input method, rather than "Android Keyboard" or whatever.
If not, I'm sure someone has or can make an "invisible keyboard" to set as your input method.
Dude I think that will solve my issue. I'll test it out later but I think you hit the nail on the head. I appreciate it.
By the way you don't need to choose an input method with CM6 and Apple keyboard.

does anyone know how to turn off word suggestion on the Asus keyboard? I like the Asus one because it has numbers on top but even if I turn off word suggestion in the settings, it's still there. On the other keyboard I can turn it off, but it does not have numbers displayed on top.
Thanks for your suggestions!
I'd like to have an answer to this too. Darn thing displays previously typed passwords.
I got it to disable, not sure how though. I disabled everything even under the android settings.
I was able to disable the word prediction (which is abysmal in my opinion) by going to Settings>Language & Input>Settings (in the ASUS Keyboard section) and deselecting Next Word Prediction. Might also be able to do it by adjusting the Word Completion setting on that screen, not sure. I've got mine working the way I want so I don't really want to mess with it and risk screwing it up just now.
i need better keyboard 8, it's a piece of paradise after using the stock keyboard
My coworker just got an Android (HTC Desire HD) and she was wondering if there was a way to let the suggestions appears as she type but to avoid to auto accept those. Since most of the time they are not accurate something a la Windows Phone.
I am a noob when it comes to Android(had an iPhone and now WP7), I tried to play with her phone settings but seems she can turn off the auto suggestion or not. Is there a keyboard she can install or something she can do to have this setting?
Settings > Language & Keyboard > Touch Input > Text Input > Prediction.
You should then be able to un-check Prediction.
Hope it helps.
actually if I rember well that turn of Prediction what I was after is show prediction but don't use those words except if I click on them.

Something like that. It's annoying that the Android keyboard suggest words as you type and use them without my approval. I want to be able to type see suggestion but choose if I want to use them or not. Hope I am clear.
Try
Menu, Settings, Language & keyboard, Keyboard settings, then uncheck "show suggestions"
Change key board to one with more settings this one is my favorite http://www.mediafire.com/?tmm3tymgdzz

I guess you need an unlocked device for that (or whatever you call it in the Android world). If it is the case that thread can be closed I'll let my coworker that it's not possible since I doubt she'll "unlock" her device
Unlock = root

So I just purchased a keyboard folio case. It works wonderfully but for the life of me I can't figure out how to remove the onscreen keyboard. I have absolutely no need for it and it takes up over half the screen when I'm typing.
I have searched all over the forums and I've googled it. I can't seem to find it anywhere.
I'm running the latest ICS Kang Nightly. I noticed that the EOS rom doesn't have this option either.
Does the stock ICS version have this?
Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
It's in Honeycomb and ICS (and the phone versions of Android too, I assume). If you're using a bluetooth (or USB) keyboard, then the on-screen keyboard should no be displayed until you disconnect. I use the Motorola bluetooth keyboard, there is no on-screen keyboard for me unless I disconnect.
How strange. This doesn't work for me. I swear. As soon as I start typing in a text field the regular onscreen keyboard pops up.
Are you using stock ICS?
I did find a temporary solution after doing some more investigation. I searched the market for some keyboard apps to see if there were any out there that perhaps gave you the option.
I ended up finding an app called null keyboard and this seems to do the trick. I basically select it in the Language and Input menu in the Android settings and it disables the on screen keyboard for you while maintaining the ability to use a physical keyboard.
While this does work pretty well, it would be nice to get the stock keyboard to be able to do this so I wouldn't need to switch back and forth.
On my Xoom (stock Wi-Fi ics), when using a Bluetooth keyboard, I can select the keyboard icon in the status bar that displays when selecting a text field and toggle physical keyboard on/off on top of the list of keyboards that shows.

Any way to disable the samsung keyboard using...
I also Purchased the Zagg Folio keyboard for my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 GT-N5110 android 4.2.2 and tried most of those apps like null keyboard and the like to no avail, so I was wondering if there is a method for rooted devices with programs like Xposed Framework to disable Samsung keyboard. thank you

You do realize you've posted to a thread for the Motorola Xoom, not a Samsung device, and the last post before yours was two years ago?
I'd suggest posting in the forum for your device.
Ive been using GO keyboard on and off for a while now and love it, only problem I have is that I cant see my emojis as Im typing them.
I have go sms with emoji plug in as well as the plug on for go keyboard but they just leave a blank space when i put one in. However they do show up in the conversation when I send.
Any advice anyone can give would be appreciated!
Are you using its latest version?
Yeah, can't understand it. Even when I use android keyboard on my s2 I can see the emojis while typing but not with go keyboard

you may disable AUTOSPACE option in the settings. That actually was designed for easier typing
Ok, I cannot find anything related to my problem, and I CAN`T be the only one with this.
First things first: My name is Lane, long time lurker, first time poster. I have a P-3113 GTab2 7", stock rooted JB 4.1.2, and a IVSO bluetooth keyboard case. Over the last week, I've been trying to find a way to hide the soft keyboard while using the BT keyboard. I started with "Null Keyboard", but all it did was get rid of the keyboard entirely. I still like using the soft keyboard when I need it in a pinch. I don't like having to switch manually. Then I found AnySoftKeyboard, which i freakin' love.
But now i have a problem.
When the default keyboard is set to AnySoft (or any other keyboard for that matter), i can use it and its wonderful features for a total of 5-10 minutes before Android complains and throws up an error message, then switches the default keyboard back to Samsung... I even caught a screenshot of the error just now. You can see AnySoftKeyboard in the screenshot behind the message, but then it switches to the Samsung keyboard.

It is an error i might recognize.. Does it happen with ny other keyboard too??like swift key or ny other that stock??
If you get prob just in AnySoft then its the problem in programming made by the app developer,
if other keyboards crash too then i guess its the problem in your rom.. Did you flash ny thing on your current rom??
Also,
Try using WIFI keyboard if you want no keyboard display while typing from external keyboards via usb
ROM is stock JB, just rooted. Nothing else flashed. This happens with other keyboards, too, like SlideIt, Null, and AnySoft.
As far as I know, this only happens when I have my bluetooth keyboard connected.
It is really not that hard to switch input methods between a BT keyboard and an onscreen keyboard, no app is needed to easily go back and forth between those two. There should be a notification that shows up to easily switch input methods when a text box is tapped.
It looks like the second line says "change BT input method to stock Samsung keyboard", if that's any help.
Attached is the said notification.

if you use just stock keyboard, do you get the same error and the stock keyboard refreshes/reboots??

No, only when an alternate KB is set as default.
