Problem with the input dialog and SwiftKey

Post by Johnyboy9 » 12 Mar 2016 11:17

Hi all,

i'm having a problem with the input dialog (de: Eingabedialog), type text and SwiftKey (which i am using as my keyboard app). When the input dialog is opening, SwiftKey opens up but it don't have word predictions like it should have. In other apps, SwiftKey works. Is this a problem with SwiftKey or with Automagic?

Automagic Version: 1.30.0
SwiftKey Version: 6.2.3.86
Android Version: 5.0
Smartphone model: Samsung SM-G900F

Sorry for my not so perfect english ;)

Hi,

I can reproduce this problem on Android 5.0 with SwiftKey. It's working as expected on Android 6 with the same version of SwiftKey and with the stock Samsung keyboard on 5.0.
I can add a flag to force that the auto correction is shown in the next update. I hope that this does not have any negative side effects on other versions of Android or with some other keyboards.

Regards,
Martin

Maybe this helps to fix the problem (in case you havent yet):

I've got a new Samsung Galaxy S7 yesterday and have the same issue with this one.

Automagic Version: 1.30.0
SwiftKey Version: 6.3.5.65
Android Version: 6.0.1
Smartphone model: Samsung SM-G930F

I feel like maybe this problem is affecting me aswell? This is a repost, sorry... Am I experiencing the same issue? I feel like somehow my problem is relevant in this discussion?

Hey guys, I have a question about inserting text into a field.

Suppose I open an app, and the cursor is already set in the password field of the app.
I want Automagic to type in my password for me and open up the app. (the app requires me to input password for entry)

So my flow triggers when the app opens,

then if I make an action to Control UI...

sleep(100);
sendText(".....");
sleep(100);

... I get an error that Automagic input method is not selected. Am I to conclude that I have to set Automagic input to send text to a field/element?
I can get it to work if I add Automagic input method before the action, and then change input method back to swiftkey after action but I feel like this might be not necessary. Is there not a way to send text to a field without invoking Automagic input method?
