Provides classes and interfaces for the input method framework. This package
enables text editing components to receive text input through input methods.
Input methods are software components that let the user enter text in ways
other than simple typing on a keyboard. They are commonly used to enter
Japanese, Chinese, or Korean - languages using thousands of different
characters - on keyboards with far fewer keys. However, the framework also
supports input methods for other languages and the use of entirely different
input mechanisms, such as handwriting or speech recognition.
