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

hi, every buddy :

I writed a Chinese input method ( for touch screen, with virtual keypad ) and a hildon input plugin ( so it is integrted to system, can be use like origin virtual keyboard )

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 ) :
http://bbs.ifanr.com/data/attachment...i71og93559.png
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 )

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

I have plan to package it, but it is mixed program ( include c / python / bash ), it is complex with package. I need more time to learn how to package it.
So I want write a INSTALL to explain how to install :) at this weekend.

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

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 python2.5-qt4-dbus

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.

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

Screenshots seem much better than Stroke Order ..and integrated to the system!
A deb file will be much easier for everyone to test it.

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

Have a question: does this coexist with stock vkb? Can switch the input method on the fly?

If I remember correctly, you can have any number of virtual keyboards installed (this one, portrait-keyboard, handwriting cell input, default) and switch between them by editing one setting in gconf and probably restarting hildon-input-method. No need to restart whole operating system.

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

yes, for example

Code:

#switch to default virtual keyboard



kill -9 `ps aux | grep hildon-input-method | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}'`

#restart hildon-input-method daemon

and

Code:

gconftool --type string -s /apps/osso/inputmethod/default-plugins/finger maemo-chinese-input-pad-plugin

will switch to my inputpad

Now, I'm working for this, a REAL virtual keyboard, it's a overlay above all another window, write with QML.
It send fake XKeyEvent to focused window, so, it can use another input method, like ibus :]

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

Quick reply...
I like that you make the keyboard QML based, with large keys, with arrows, quite transparent and not opaque, and the layout is all written down in QML.

As I understand, there are three free unassigned keys in the keyboard. It could allow for switching between four keyboards, at least. You could make the C++ part of the code able to switch between four different QMLs, make the three keys send corresponding signals to the C++ part of the code, create four nearly identical English layouts, and then let users customise keys and keycodes of the keyboard layouts to their hearts' content.
Like:
one layout English,
one layout special symbols,
one layout Greek for mathematical formulas,
one layout Esperanto.

What do you think about it?

Hi foolegg,
this work looks interesting, but I am unable to watch the video using my N900, and I don't have any other PC.

Are you still planning to package it so that it can be available in the Maemo repos?
