Impossible to change / add a language about heliboard HOT 22 CLOSED

Also seems to happen to me

Redmi Note 11/MIUI14(android 13)

My phone produced the following report
report.txt

from heliboard.

May be an MIUI specific problem.
openboard-team/openboard#774
openboard-team/openboard#760

from heliboard.

Can you provide a stack trace? I have no Xiaomi phone, and I have no knowledge about this part of the app. A stacktrace would be very useful for understanding what is going on.
Sorry, looks like I'm blind...

Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.android.settingslib.inputmethod.InputMethodSubtypePreference cannot be cast to com.android.settingslib.PrimarySwitchPreference and not a single line of OpenBoard code in the stacktrace points towards some issue with Xiaomi/MIUI once again.

Xiaomi 11 lite 5g ne, miui 14.0.6 vf android 12, same happens to me, surely miui's fault.

I got a new log of what happens when i press the languages button for OpenBoard 1.4.5 v3
Note that this is the debug version.

from heliboard.

In v3 there were no changes made in the relevant part, and the new log unfortunately neither contains a crash nor other information I can use.

I'm afraid I can't really help here without a way to reproduce the crash... Currently I don't even know which method call triggers the crash.
The only idea I currently have is that it might be related to the intent used in InputMethodSettingsImpl.

Btw does selecting languages work on AOSP keyboard, or other forks like Simple Keyboard or Indic Keyboard?

For me crashes only with openboard.

I don't understand how it works in Indic Keyboard, but it should be possible to do it similar to Simple Keyboard

from heliboard.

Doing it like in Simple Keyboard would allow greatly improving the language selection screen, but at the same time would require language selection to happen only inside the keyboard. So long pressing on space would not allow you to choose OpenBoard with a different language any more.
But actually this is the case for many other keyboards too...

Anyway, here is a slightly modified debug version of OpenBoard, using a different method to go to the language settings. Can you test whether this works: openboard_1.4.5-debug.zip

Doesn't work for me unfortunately.

This is really weird...
I changed the related code to exactly what Indic Keyboard and AOSP use, but it looks like it's almost the same...: openboard_1.4.5-debug.zip

Now when i install openboard debug and then i open it doesn't show the arrow to start the configuration.

from heliboard.

I don't know which arrow you mean? What happens if you open "OpenBoard debug" from the launcher after enabling it, and then go to language settings?

Ok enabling it through settings makes me skip initial configuration, but tapping on language always makes settings crash. I see the dictonaries settings in the debug version as difference.

With the debug version there is the advantage of the multilingual typing, which is even better of changing languages for me, but the keys layout is better in the stable version, since are less near one another.

from heliboard.

Which stable version are you referring to? Are you comparing the debug version to some release of this fork (which always had multilingual typing), or some version of the original OpenBoard?

Openboard 1.4.5 from f-droid. Should be from openboard-team. I said stable to differentiate from the debug one.

Edit: But the stable release of this fork has the same better keyboard like the f-droid version.

Are you referring to the changes in #8 (comment)?

Yes, the keyboard with little spaces between keys is only in the debug version posted here. But the release version of this fork is the better since it has the same layout than the openboard-team version with the addiction of dual dictionaries.

from heliboard.

If you have issues with these changes, can you comment in #8 why you don't like it, or open a separate issue for this?

I still don't understand what's actually going wrong.

Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.android.settingslib.inputmethod.InputMethodSubtypePreference cannot be cast to com.android.settingslib.PrimarySwitchPreference
actually that's part of some internals in the system. I really wonder how some other app (specifically Indic Keyboard) can do the excact same system call without crashing...
