Been looking for a way to sett the pen as trigger for changing the handwriting recognition when the pen is removed.
NOTE I KNOW there is an option in the settings to automate just that, BUT it doesn't allow me to choose what handwriting recognition I prefer. I use My Script Beta , prefer that over the built in handwriting recognition.
Anyone found a way to catch / trigger pen removal as a task in tasker??
thanks in advance

Anybody? Does anyone even have a suggestion? Or an alternative apporach?

I know you can switch keyboards by tap-holding on the text field and tapping on the desired keyboard.
What I'm looking for is a way to switch the keyboards automatically based on the app being used. The only reason I want this sort of automation is because I'm using Google's ASE app, and the interpreter panel / interface doesn't allow switching keyboards. It does not pop up with the menu to do so after tap-holding.
Right now I have to switch to another app, switch keyboards, switch back to ASE, re-open the interpreter, and then start typing. In ASE I would prefer to use Android's native keyboard, while I use Swype for everything else.
Great question
I'm looking the same app too.
This why I prefer to use phone keyboard for sms' and mails but no for internet surfing, market, and other apps...
Is there any way to make app-keyboard association?
I'd really like to see this as well. I use one keyboard when writing text messages and another keyboard for all other applications, this due to no keyboard supporting all the languages I write in. An app that changes keyboard when you open/close a specific app would be great!
Hi all,
when using my TF with dock I bumped into a problem - the keyboard dock does not work well with 3rd party input methods (e.g. Go keyboard thumb layout). I was looking for an app or some other way to auto-switch current input method when docking/undocking.
When searching and googling I found a guide to auto-display input method chooser dialog when docked/undocked (Here).
Another related guide was about re-mapping keys on the dock keyboard (Here)
Well, my aim is to create an overall keyboard utility that would enable easy keyboard auto-switching and possibly re-mapping less useful keys (e.g. brightness) to something more practical.
I've started working on the application (well, spent a few hours over two evenings ), at the moment it is very simplistic. I just replicates the behavior from the Tasker guide, so that it shows the input method chooser dialog after docking and undocking (plus a config to enable/disable this). I did not want to purchase Tasker just for this.
I know that it is an intentional android security measure that apps cannot switch input methods at will, but if someone has an idea how to overcome this (for rooted devices), please, let me know.
Anyway, here is an initial version. Hopefully, someone else besides me will find it useful. Any comments, suggestions highly appreciated!
Thanks for the effort.
I consider this app as very useful. Unfortunately I cannot help you developing because I'm just a user but again the idea is great.
Regards

I use tasker and confirm this works the same.
Your app does have 1 big advantage over tasker. With tasker everytime I close the tab&dock into their clamshell shape, when I unfold them and the screen turns on, tasker makes the pop up come on even though I did not undock the tab.
Your app does not do this which is great
good work, much appreciated!
Wow, this is awesome! The only thing that would make it better is the ability to switch input methods automatically without the pop-up. However - it is no problem to use the app as it is now. Great work!
OK, downloaded, installed and tested... awesome ! You just took my TF one step further on the way of perfection !
Very good idea, it's working great. SwiftKey tablet x is even better thanks to your simple app. Thanks!

Awesome - thanks!
what an usefull app!i wonder if exists anything similar before....+1 for this little but awesome work mate!!
Brilliant! Now can you make an option to allow it to auto switch between says Asus keyboard layout when docked and Thumbs keyboard when undocked pretty please?
I've found that the keyboard choice dialog does come up when (un)undocking, but that it's "dead" (it ignores selections - NOTHING happens) - I have to tap outside the dialog to make it disappear, and then bring up the dialog "manually" via the settings menu.
Any solution?

both of you, check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118164
using autostarts you can disable that pop up.
using the guide in this thread i remapped my dock keyboard so that i could use whatever soft keyboard i wanted ( i use smart keyboard pro) and the dock keys wouldnt change.
my problem was that the only way i could get the @ key on the dock keyboard to work was with the standard asus keyboard chosen on the tablet, any other soft keyboard and the @ key wouldnt work.
all solved now though!!

turn off the pop op using autostarts
remap the keys however you wish.
Ok, help here, please..
I am lost in all these threads and guides and what not..
What I need is: how to make dock type in Cyrillic Serbian, like the on screen keyboard? I do not need the automatic change of KB, I just need the possibility to type in Cyrillic. When I select serbian, dock stays US and onscreen is changed only..
When you do the remapping from the already mentioned thread, is it possible after that to change to US easily?
Thanx
No pop-up?
Any luck updating this app so that there are two more selections in the configuration screen?
Soft Keyboard when undocked
Soft Keyboard when docked
Then when docking / undocking don't present a user prompt but just change to the selected keyboard?
Thanks!
Great idea! If you could add an option To remember the selection it would be perfect! Anyway GREAT WORK!!!

I would love this.
I use the Float n Split keyboard on my Inifinty and of course when the tab is docked, it wants me to change the keyboard to the stock ASUS keyboard. While a minor chore, it is a chore nonetheless. I have tried to use Tasker to automate the change to settings but i am cannot create a action that works. In fact, I'm not sure where to begin with Tasker.
Has anyone figure how to automate this task with Tasker or any other utility?
cheers,
mordo
Have you tried not changing back to the ASUS keyboard and ignoring the message? I use Thumb Keyboard, and when I docked the first time with it it asked me the same thing, to change to the ASUS stock keyboard. I ignored it and the dock keyboard still works flawlessly.
Look in the prime form for a similar question, there was an App to automatically switch keyboards. Alternatively if you are into the whole tasker thing, this is a simple script that could be written to switch between keyboards when docked and undocked...
Yes, I've ignored the alert that the keyboards don't match. In some apps, the soft keyboard appears while typing on the dock keyboard. This is a problem as it obscures what I'm typing.
I imagine it is a simple script but I'm at a loss to know how to create it. I hoped that someone had such script, I could learn quickly rather than running through tutorials in Tasker.
cheers,
mordo
EDIT: Thanks, I found the thread in the Prime forum. Tasker requires a paid plugin. This explains why I couldn't find the solution in Tasker. Also, the other app referenced was "Keyboard Manager:.

Hi, this is My first post.
I would like to be able to use hand writin recognition on S-note in split screen.
so the idea is I have a lecture running on one window through Youtube or video app, and then another window I am using handwriting recognition to take note's on s-note, is this possible?
when on split screen hand Writing recognition functionality does not seem possible as there is no option for it.
Thanks.
Hello
A couple of questions about how handwriting recognition works for the 10.1:
i) Is it available for all apps, i.e. handwriting recognition can be selected for any app which has keyboard input?
ii) Assuming your handwriting isn't a scrawl, how good is the recognition, (e.g. how does it compare to Windows 7/8 tablets)?
Thanks for any feedback

Yes it can be enabled in any app that support kekeyboard input, and comparing it to other w8/7 tablets i havent tried them but handwriting recognition works perfect, fast and never faild to recognize my writing also i have a bad hand writing

I can be pretty slack with my handwriting and it works pretty good with a 95% accuracy rate. The 5% it doesn't, I'd have trouble reading if I hadn't wrote it then and there...
This doesn't really help the OP, but I thought I might as well stick my question under the same header.
In the keyboard setting is a tick box for "change to handwriting recognition when Spen is detected" and I'm wondering how it's implemented as I have not noticed anything happening. I always have to change the keyboard manually. Wether I remove the pen or use my spare one. Thanks.

I've tried and it somewhat works... but with varying results.
It surely doesn't work instantly (as one would expect). That is, if you have your keyboard out and you pull out the pen the keyboard doesn't change automatically and instantly from "typing mode" to "handwriting mode".
In a simple text editor (as Jota text editor) it works this way: if you have the pen out and you tap on the note as to insert new text, the type of keyboard is hw recognition. Then you put the pen in its slot (the keyboard stays out and doesn't change), close the keyboard (the keyboard disappears) re-tap on the note to write something else and the keyboard popping out is now the classical typing keyboard. The reverse also works.
In some other apps this behavior is not replicable. Maybe because these other apps "remember" (in the cache?) the last type of keyboard used and this overwrites Samsung "pen-detection" function.
Anyway there's a wonderful (and genial) app that automatically and instantly changes the keyboard (i.e. from the samsung stock one to another choosen one, i.e. some keyboard more advanced for traditional typing) with the pen's pulled out or in. It's called SPenBoard Switcher. The link is here.
(Unfortunately it's necessary to have a rooted device to install it...)
Thanks for your explanation. I didn't expect it to work instantly, I just never noticed it doing anything at all. But then again, I rarely use the attached pen, but one of those bigger ones. I will definitely give the suggested app a go.
