Probably you could add icons on home screen to switch to one keyboard or another instead of typing each time in X Terminal.

Thanks guys for the reply. I currently use one button switching of penpower and stock him and was hoping for something more integrated into stock him. Regardless, look forward to seeing the inpuy method package in extra-devel!

Re: A Chinese input method with virtual keypad and hildon input method plugin

I found a bug in Makefile.
my N900 is down( because a mistake when trying package ) and I'm busy in this week ( for a test ), so please wait a few day, I will fix this bug.

I add a Makefile, Now you can install with the common *nix method,
at first, you need install some dependency for build hildon-input-method-plugin,
at first, add below repo :

Code:

deb http://repository.maemo.org/ fremantle/sdk free non-free

deb http://repository.maemo.org/ fremantle/tools free non-free

then open x-terminal, and type :

Code:

sudo gainroot

#gain root



apt-get install build-essential

#base develop tools



apt-get install bash

#install bash



apt-get install git-core

#git tool, be used to checkout source code from github



apt-get install libgconf2-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libhildon-im-ui-dev hildon-input-method-framework-dev  libgtk2.0-dev libosso-dev

#lib file for hildon-input-method plugin



apt-get install sqlite3

#be used to generate dict file

the Inputpad ui is pyqt4 program, so you need python2.5-qt4
:

Code:

apt-get install python2.5-qt4

then, checkout source code and BUILD it ! ( exit root before do this ) :

Code:

git clone git://github.com/foolegg/maemo-chinese-input-pad.git mcip

#checkout source code



cd mcip

#enter source code directory



make

#build



sudo gainroot

#get root



make install

#install

then, reboot.
If everything is ok, you can use this inputpad like system origin virtual keyboard.

when you need update :

Code:

cd mcip

#enter source code directory



sudo gainroot

#get root



make uninstall

#uninstall old version



exit

#exit root



git pull origin master

#checkout newest source code



make

#build, again



sudo gainroot

#get root



make install

#install, again

reboot.

hi, I have updated source code, and fixed the install introduction, please check it:D

some screenshot,
in message client:
http://bbs.ifanr.com/data/attachment...rh1399l7r7.png
click input area to active inputpad ( like system virtual keyboard, and it will rotate screen auto ) :

when input finish, click blank area above inputpad to close it, and commit the text to message client :
http://bbs.ifanr.com/data/attachment...dcffkdf8zc.png
and it has some sub keypad to input english or japanese :
http://bbs.ifanr.com/data/attachment...9h31eogae4.png

source code on github :
https://github.com/foolegg/maemo-chinese-input-pad

It can be use with gtk and qt, but still has some problem in microB browser ( sometime lose commited text )

will this conflict with Ukeyboard? or is it only show up during portrait?

Re: A Chinese input method with virtual keypad and hildon input method plugin

just out of curiosity how many people have successfully installed it??
