Long press on keyboard? (change input method)

Post by zerodean » 22 Mar 2019 16:52

I have a script that opens a text writing app, creates a new document, and brings up the keyboard.

I need a way to emulate a longpress on the keyboard to change the input mode to dictation.

Is this possible without root?

(I had this working on an older rooted device by using the change input option.)

Yes, use Control UI, you need to enable accessibility only, no root required. But you need to take some time to learn how to use it.

My script already uses control UI. I'm embarrassed to say that I never noticed the "insert common script parts" before. Just found long press under there...

Thanks for the help.
