App for switching languages?

Is there any app or any other way to easily switch between input methods?
Like 1 button I can click on the keyboard to switch from swype to japanese
Like the iphone little globe key
It really sucks having to hold the screen select input method etc
Thanks

こんにちは！
Not exactly what you are looking for, but If u r root you can use keyboard manager to set a different keyboard for landscape and portrait. That way, all you have to do is rotate your phone.
Other than that, you would probably need a modded version of each keyboard... (not sure if its possible)

keyboard pop up to keyboard button force keyboard pop up.?

I wish to c eate keyboard d button possibly remap search button in the quick launch to open keyboard because on some websites I'm not nable to open keyboard via auto keyboard I would really appreciate any feedback from all but first let me tell you what I have tried. I have tried using the only method found while googling wich uses a launcher to open quick launch but those are keyboard shortcuts so useless to me as I want to force the onscreen keyboard I am willing to support an app if there is not away to do this, also I am running android ics 4.0.4 on galaxy tab 2 7inch gt-p3113
thank you
And I hope I did not miss any posts regarding my request/question but Google turned out nothing

For somebody (like you and me) it's important to have a special key for popup the keyboard.
In CM7.2 in LG Optimus ONE there was an option in "settings/developer option" that able the keyboard popup if you long press the setting button.
I think it isn't so difficult to add this feature in future in CM9/CM10 or our Galaxy Tab2
A simply long press or a special button in the dock bar is perfect (only if we can select we want or no the special button)
Up for the post

how about an app to do this from notifications i would def buy if a dev would be willing to work on this. i really prefer stock rom on my tablet i have removed all the bloat where and all and have cwm on it with root i would really like an app for this

[Q] Jellybean Message Smileys?

I just updated my HOS (Vodafone) from ICS to Jellybean, and now I no longer see the 'Smileys' option in the Message app menu (for selecting a smiley to insert into the message text). I'm using the Swype keyboard, as I was with ICS.
Anyone know how to get this 'Smileys' menu option back?

They moved the smiles to the default keyboard. Now it's accessible from all apps.

Unless one happens to be one of the thousands using a different keyboard, in which case it's not accessible anywhere...
Thanks for rapid response, anyway.

Keyboard workaround
I found a way to keep the Swype keyboard I like and still have access to the smileys list...
This is probably well known, but since no-one has mentioned it - if more than one keyboard is installed and enabled at the same time, a keyboard icon appears in the notification area that allows you to swap keyboards on-the-fly, and so get access to any features on any keyboard. Not ideal, but as good as it gets.

[search app] splitable keyboard-app s-pen compatible

hello xda-community,
i am searching an keyboard android application that has a spliting feature (when u got the tablet in the hands, being able to access all buttons of the keyboard using only thumbs) AND also switches to the native s-pen application, when taking out the s-pen.
here a list of already tested apps:
samsung keyboard
swiftkey 3 pro
list of what i am/will be testing:
thumb keyboard
floatNsplit keyboard
in addition i would like to make a poll so note 10.1 users can vote for their favorite keyboard.
edit: seems like floatNsplit keyboard is pretty usefull after some testing. Problem is that it doesnt react to S-pen and i can't find any option fo it in the preferences of the app.

Use SPenBoard Switcher ★Switching keyboards depending on the S-Pen position★
If you using Omega Rom you can use SPenBoard Switcher to change keyboard when S-pen is detach...
Here the link in xda: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2075916
Hope it can help you! :laugh:

SPen Board Switcher works for every rooted Samsung Firmware, not just if youre using Omega.

Yes, it is true... but I mean that SPen Board Switcher is included in Omega Rom :fingers-crossed:

does someone know how to split the keyboard of "Swiftkey Tablet Keyboard v4"? i dont find any preferences or options to make it split into two areas for making it easy to type with only the tumbs when holding the tablet.

SPen Board switcher as stated above. I have honestly been very dissatisfied with keyboards on the tablet. I have yet to find one that I actually like. I've tried 5-6 different boards now, and still have not found one for me personally. Stock Android would be nice - if it had split and number row. So for the time being I just use the Samsung IME - modified with working auto-correct. Has worked fairly well.

Did you try Kii Keyboard? It has options for split in landscape and swype in portrait. And there's a button to switch input methods.

How to define Input Method?

The Google Keyboard is what I like to use. It's better than the HTC KB in many ways. But every time I have to type in something, the HTC keyboard pops up instead. Is there a way that I can setup the Google Keyboard to be the default input method EVERYTIME?

What ROM are you running? Once you change the keyboard it should stay until you change it again to something else. You can also go to Settings->Language & keyboard and disable all but the Google keyboard if that's the only one you intend to use.

I'm running Skyfall. There isn't an option to turn off or disable Sense input.

I don't know why picking a different keyboard wouldn't stick. I don't use the Sense keyboard either, but all I do is choose my keyboard as the default and it never switches back. I'm running CleanROM right now, but I used the same setup when I was running Skyfall. I guess you could use a file explorer and rename the HTC_IME.apk file to HTC_IME.apk.bkp in the /system/priv-app folder if you really want to get rid of the Sense keyboard. You shouldn't have to do that, though. Skyfall works just like it should on Android to switch input methods. You just go to the "Choose input method" from the notification bar when the keyboard is up and choose your input method. It always stuck when I selected a different keyboard when running Skyfall.
