Android CommitContentSampleApp Sample
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
This sample demonstrates how to write an application which accepts rich content (such as images)
|
|
sent from a keyboard using the Commit Content API.
|
|
|
|
Introduction
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Users often want to communicate with emojis, stickers, and other kinds of rich content. In previous
|
|
versions of Android, soft keyboards (input method editors or IMEs) could send only unicode emoji to
|
|
apps. For rich content (such as images), apps had to either build app-specific APIs that couldn't
|
|
be used in other apps or use workarounds like sending images through the Easy Share Action or the
|
|
clipboard.
|
|
|
|
Now in Android 7.1 (API 25), the Android SDK includes the [Commit Content API][1], which provides a
|
|
universal way for IMEs to send images and other rich content directly to a text editor in an app.
|
|
The API is also available in the v13 Support Library (ver. 25.0), supporting devices as early as
|
|
Android 3.2 (API 13).
|
|
|
|
With this API, you can build messaging apps that accept rich content from any keyboard, as well as
|
|
keyboards that can send rich content to any app.
