Hello .. I would like to enter a special ASCII character in an Android app - specifically an ASCII 255 (blank).
I recalled that in DOS/Windows, you could use Alt+255 to achieve this.
I can see, using Hacker's Keyboard in several apps, that Android does not appear to accept this type of input.
Can anyone recommend a way to enter an ASCII 255, or at least get this character on the clipboard?
The answer was "character map" from the app store. Copy arbitrary unicode to clipboard.

unsure if it'll work, download the "hacker keyboard" from the play store (its free). It has numbers and the Alt key too. If not try this : might help :

Just got my Galaxy S and was wondering why there was no free dutch licenseplate info app available.
So I looked around, found some no longer working code on the net:
hxxp://code.google.com/p/android-kentekencheck/
made some modifications:
- simpler layout (losing the send button)
- app now autoqueries after you enter enough data (6 chars)
- clicking on the licenseplate now cancels your search, no more waiting for the wrong result when you made a typo
- changed progressDialog to progressBar, needed for cancel search and looks more relaxed imo
- more information displayed
- more robust html scraping
- changed connect parameters to not use HTTP EXPECT (varnish loadbalancer chokes on this)
Now available for free on Google market
market://search?pname:nl.joeripronk.Kentekencheck
Alas I cannot post links or QR codes yet, so you will have to search it yourself in the meantime.
Nice (Leuk!) What's your licence plate number

It's 86 and 1, guess you will be needing my license plate letters next
Great App
Thanks for this app, is really useful.
Will you be updating the Google code project with your changes?
does it work with America/Canada license plates too?
How do you input letters in the dutch license plate?
I tried this morning as I saw a Dutch car passing by, but when I tried to use the soft keyboard to input letters, it messed up:
Pressed 67 using your keypad, output: 67
Pressed D using the Android kaypad, outpout 6767D
Pressed F using the Android kaypad, outpout 6767D6767DF (example of behavior the search is triggered before).
Does someone has the APK file for me?
I cant find it in the market, I have an Wildfire, probably resolution problems..

LOL! Yes, and others.
What forum you know me from?
Does any one knows why when I open a document or a web page (etc) that contains ancient greek or similar characters some of them are shown like little square boxes?
PS1: The characters that are not shown are the only-ancient-characters, for example the word "ένα", that means "one", in ancient greeks is writen exactly the same way, but with a small additional symbol over the first letter. So the first letter is shown as a square and the rest are shown normally.
PS2: When I open the same document with a PC, all the characters are shown normally.
Thanks for the help.

Hi
I'm a medical student
Is galaxy note proper for taking notes? I mean like a real notebook.
Tnx in advance
Sent from my E15i using xda premium
Yes, except for the ink
It works fine for me with handwriting and I can fill in gaps later with graphs and pictures. The issue comes when you try to use handwriting recognition. The handwriting recognition software will cut you off in mid sentence, input what it translates and take some time to start recognizing the SPen input again. The math function and shape recognition work fine too.
To me it is like pen and paper.
I use it for taking notes and at the end of class I export it to pdf which I then have linked to my dropbox account.

I couldn't get used to S-note's handwriting. Instead, I pick the text entry mode and use the built-in handwriting instead of keyboard, works much better for me.

well ive been using my note for my organic chem class....and so far its been pretty good. using S-note at the moment, but looking for a even better app.
Also i was able to get my hands on some pdf textbooks that i need for my science classes and reading/annotating been okay but again..looking for other apps with better UI. tho lecturenotes seems promising...
Ok so can u turn off hand writing recognize? And does it support other languages?
Another q : how many words can u write in a page?
I'm asking too much
Actually I'm stuck between this tablet & bamboo fun pen & touch.
A very big bonus this tablet has is you can search internet and add more info.bamboo is cheaper.
Can galaxy note define pressure?

That depends on how big is your handwriting. You can probably zoom in a bit and use the thinnest pen size possible to cram in as many annotations as possible on a page.
And yes, it can sense pressure (up to 1000 levels if I'm not mistaken).
Well, now that you have opened this thread, please have a look at what I want to say.
I am new to HTC Sensation and I have tried some apps which claim to add words from text file to Custom Dictionary. But there are some devices on which it does not work, and, unfortunately this does not work on Sensation either. So, I am having idea of an app which does the task in a new way:
All it should do is to 'read' words one by one from our given text file and then 'type' it in a text editor like New Message. But before it presses 'space', it should touch the first suggestion given above the keyboard. First suggestion is always the word that we originally type, no matter whether it is in dictionary or not. Touching it will add the word to dictionary. I believe that this is easier to apply as this is a manual method and does not require editing database file.
Second method (a bit more technical):
Open given text in a text editor like New Message or New Gmail email (gmail, because it also underlines words which are not in dictionary and supports big number of words). Then touch every word one by one. If a pop-up menu appears on a word then it must select the 'second-last' option. This is 'add to dictionary' button.
I am not a developer, if I were, I would have made this app myself. So I can only give theory.
If this can be applied, it can be useful for many users who use transliteration method to type in their languages.
[APP][2.2+] 子典 Cantonese Dictionary (2.3.3) - Free offline Cantonese-English Dict.
Hi guys, I'd like to introduce my dictionary app for Cantonese-English lookup.
Description
The 子典 Cantonese Dictionary is a free, offline dictionary with over 210K entries.
It offers four lists and according search modes:
English Meaning (/Description)
Cantonese Words
Cantonese Characters
Jyutping (Romanization)
The entries of this list are asynchronously loaded from a database copied to the internal storage in the background.
The database itself is based on the Cantonese CEDICT project.
I came up with the idea, when I searched myself for a good dictionary for Cantonese, but I've only found Mandarin, not working, and ugly online half-working ones. So I programmed my own with Holo Light and Google Cards UI.
Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.plckthun.cantdict
The app is for free, but with a minor banner ad at the bottom of the lists. You can remove the ad and support the development by purchasing the "Adfree" In-App package.
Support / Report
I'll answer your suggestions, problems and questions on this facebook page:

Added a basic text-to-speech / speak function. You can use it in an entry by clicking on the new actionbar button. I made the TTS myself. It contains of about 1600 audio files, so the app is no 5-6MB bigger.

No, I'm from Germany, but my mother came from Hong Kong, so I'm trying to learn more Cantonese and came up with the idea
I come from Hong Kong and studying in UK currently so a dictionary would be really helpful for me,a few suggestion for your app btw
First is the loading time problem,I guess you already saw it in comment in higher play
Second I think it would be great if the keyboard can pop up directly after enter app so it can be faster for user to search words

I've added your requested feature to the newest app version
The loading time isn't fixable though :/ I tried making it shorter, but this is all I can get. You can now disable the loading on start and use the search only
