android.service.textservice
Provides classes that allow you to create spell checkers in a manner similar to the input method framework (for IMEs).
To create a new spell checker, you must implement a service that extends SpellCheckerService and extend the SpellCheckerService.Session class to provide spelling suggestions based
on text provided by the interface's callback methods. In the SpellCheckerService.Session callback methods, you must return the
spelling suggestions as SuggestionsInfo objects.
Applications with a spell checker service must declare the BIND_TEXT_SERVICE permission as required by the service. The service
must also declare an intent filter with <action
android:name="android.service.textservice.SpellCheckerService" /> as the intent\u2019s action and should
include a <meta-data> element that declares configuration information for the spell
checker. For example:
<service
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:name=".SampleSpellCheckerService"
android:permission="android.permission.BIND_TEXT_SERVICE" >
<intent-filter >
<action android:name="android.service.textservice.SpellCheckerService" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data
android:name="android.view.textservice.scs"
android:resource="@xml/spellchecker" />
</service>
For example code, see the sample Spell Checker service app, and the sample Spell Checker client app.
Classes
| SpellCheckerService | SpellCheckerService provides an abstract base class for a spell checker. |
| SpellCheckerService.Session | This abstract class should be overridden by a concrete implementation of a spell checker. |
