How do I change the background color of default keyboard used in an app?

So the app I am making requires a darker keyboard to be used (or else the contrast between content and keyboard is far too high), so I need to change what keyboard appears when I interact with an EditText.





I've taken a look at the Android Soft Keyboard , but I'm having a hard time following it. If someone is able to help me with that, it'd be wonderful, though I am hoping there is an easier way out there already.





Thanks.

    If you want a keyboard with a specific look and feel in your app you need to include it in the app. Your app can say which keyboard variant it wants to appear (qwerty, numpad, etc...) but appart from that it cannot change the keyboard.

    There are literally dozens of keyboards to chose from. I suggest that you don't design you app to require a very specific looking keyboard, instead design your app to look good under all circumstances.

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
