Flag of imeOptions: used to request that the IME should not update any personalized data such as typing history and personalized language model based on what the user typed on this text editing object. Typical use cases are:
  • When the application is in a special mode, where user's activities are expected to be not recorded in the application's history. Some web browsers and chat applications may have this kind of modes.
  • When storing typing history does not make much sense. Specifying this flag in typing games may help to avoid typing history from being filled up with words that the user is less likely to type in their daily life. Another example is that when the application already knows that the expected input is not a valid word (e.g. a promotion code that is not a valid word in any natural language).

Applications need to be aware that the flag is not a guarantee, and some IMEs may not respect it.

If this flag is set, compliant IMEs will never go into full screen mode, and always leave some space to display the application UI. Applications need to be aware that the flag is not a guarantee, and some IMEs may ignore it.

Note that some IMEs may not be able to do this, especially when running on a small screen where there is little space. In that case it does not need to present a UI for this option.

Flag of imeOptions: used to specify that the IME does not need to show its extracted text UI. For input methods that may be fullscreen, often when in landscape mode, this allows them to be smaller and let part of the application be shown behind, through transparent UI parts in the fullscreen IME. The part of the UI visible to the user may not be responsive to touch because the IME will receive touch events, which may confuse the user; use IME_FLAG_NO_FULLSCREEN instead for a better experience. Using this flag is discouraged and it may become deprecated in the future. Its meaning is unclear in some situations and it may not work appropriately on older versions of the platform.

Flag of imeOptions: used in conjunction with one of the actions masked by IME_MASK_ACTION, this indicates that the action should not be available as an accessory button on the right of the extracted text when the input method is full-screen. Note that by setting this flag, there can be cases where the action is simply never available to the user. Setting this generally means that you think that in fullscreen mode, where there is little space to show the text, it's not worth taking some screen real estate to display the action and it should be used instead to show more text.

Flag of imeOptions: used in conjunction with one of the actions masked by IME_MASK_ACTION. If this flag is not set, IMEs will normally replace the "enter" key with the action supplied. This flag indicates that the action should not be available in-line as a replacement for the "enter" key. Typically this is because the action has such a significant impact or is not recoverable enough that accidentally hitting it should be avoided, such as sending a message. Note that TextView will automatically set this flag for you on multi-line text views.

Flag of imeOptions: used to request an IME that is capable of inputting ASCII characters. The intention of this flag is to ensure that the user can type Roman alphabet characters in a TextView. It is typically used for an account ID or password input. A lot of the time, IMEs are already able to input ASCII even without being told so (such IMEs already respect this flag in a sense), but there are cases when this is not the default. For instance, users of languages using a different script like Arabic, Greek, Hebrew or Russian typically have a keyboard that can't input ASCII characters by default. Applications need to be aware that the flag is not a guarantee, and some IMEs may not respect it. However, it is strongly recommended for IME authors to respect this flag especially when their IME could end up with a state where only languages using non-ASCII are enabled.

A string supplying additional information options that are private to a particular IME implementation. The string must be scoped to a package owned by the implementation, to ensure there are no conflicts between implementations, but other than that you can put whatever you want in it to communicate with the IME.

This field is can be filled in from the privateImeOptions.privateImeOptions attribute of a TextView.

Also you can not count absolutely on this being used, as some IMEs may ignore this.

List of the languages that the user is supposed to switch to no matter what input method subtype is currently used. This special "hint" can be used mainly for, but not limited to, multilingual users who want IMEs to switch language context automatically.

null means that no special language "hint" is needed.

Editor authors: Specify this only when you are confident that the user will switch to certain languages in this context no matter what input method subtype is currently selected. Otherwise, keep this null. Explicit user actions and/or preferences would be good signals to specify this special "hint", For example, a chat application may be able to put the last used language at the top of hintLocales based on whom the user is going to talk, by remembering what language is used in the last conversation. Do not specify TextView.getTextLocales() only because it is used for text rendering.
