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.

  2. 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.

Slow Android emulator

I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
