Possible causes: 361. input method panel not created. 372. the input method application does not subscribe to related events. 38 39**Description** 40 41The input method process is suspended in operations such as displaying and hiding the keyboard. 42 43**Possible Causes** 44 451. The input method panel is not created. 462. The input method application does not subscribe to related events. 47 48**Solution** 49 50Check whether the input method process is running properly. For example, click the text input box in an application to check whether the input keyboard is displayed. 51 52## 12800003 Input Method Client Error 53 54**Error Message** 55 56Input method client error. Possible causes: 571. the edit box is not focused. 582. no edit box is bound to current input method application. 59 60**Description** 61 62This error code is reported when the API for showing or hiding the keyboard fails to be called by an application. 63 64**Possible Causes** 65 661. The application is not focused. 672. The input method is disconnected from the application due to a service error with the application. 68 69**Solution** 70 711. Bind the input method to the application again: Close the background process of the application, start the application again, and touch a text input box. If the keyboard is displayed properly, the issue is resolved. 722. Place the application in the foreground and ensure that it is not covered by other applications or windows. Then touch the text input box to display the input method. 73 74## 12800004 Not an Input Method 75 76**Error Message** 77 78Not an input method application. 79 80**Description** 81 82This error code is reported when an API exclusive to input methods is called by an application of another type. 83 84**Possible Causes** 85 86An API that can be called only by an input method is called by an application of another type. 87 88**Solution** 89 90Call the API only in an input method. 91 92## 12800005 Configuration Persistence Error 93 94**Error Message** 95 96Configuration persistence error. 97 98**Description** 99 100This error code is reported when the configuration fails to be saved during input method switching. 101 102**Possible Causes** 103 104An exception occurs with the system parameter configuration module. 105 106**Solution** 107 108Run `hdc shell param get persist.sys.default_ime` to view the default input method parameters. If the parameters are displayed, the system parameter configuration module is working properly. In this case, restart the device and try again. 109 110## 12800006 Input Method Controller Error 111 112**Error Message** 113 114Input method controller error.

Possible cause: a system error, such as null pointer, IPC exception. 151 152**Description** 153 154This error code is reported when an API of the [input method framework](js-apis-inputmethod.md) fails to be called. 155 156**Possible Causes** 157 158The input method manager service fails to be found. 159 160**Solution** 161 162Run `ps -A | grep inputmethod` to check the process ID of the input method service. If the process ID is found, the service is working properly. 163 164## 12800009 Input Method Client Detached 165 166**Error Message** 167 168Input method client detached. 169 170**Description** 171 172This error code is reported when the current application is not attached to an input method. 173 174**Possible Causes** 175 176The current application calls **showTextInput** or **hideTextInput** when not attached to an input method. 177 178**Solution** 179 180Call the `attach` API and then try again. 181 182## 12800010 Not Preconfigured Default Input Method 183 184**Error Message** 185 186Not the preconfigured default input method. 187 188**Description** 189 190This error code is reported when the invoking application is not the preconfigured default input method. 191 192**Possible Causes** 193 194The API is called by an application other than the preconfigured default input method. 195 196**Solution** 197 198Use [getDefaultInputMethod](js-apis-inputmethod.md#inputmethodgetdefaultinputmethod11) to query the default input method of the system and determine whether the application uses the default input method. If the application does not use the default input method, this API cannot be called. 199 200## 12800011 Text Preview Not Supported 201 202**Error Message** 203 204Text preview not supported. 205 206**Description** 207 208Preview of the text input box is not supported. 209 210**Possible Causes** 211 212Preview of the text input box is not supported. 213 214**Solution** 215 216Use [getEditorAttributeSync](js-apis-inputmethodengine.md#geteditorattributesync10) to obtain the value of **isTextPreviewSupported** of [EditorAttribute](js-apis-inputmethodengine.md#editorattribute). If **isTextPreviewSupported** is **false**, this API cannot be called. 217 218## 12800012 Soft Keyboard Panel Not Created 219 220**Error Message** 221 222The input method panel does not exist. 223 224**Description** 225 226The input method panel of the soft keyboard type is not created. 227 228**Possible Causes** 229 230The input method panel of the soft keyboard type is not created. 231 232**Solution** 233 234Use [createPanel](js-apis-inputmethodengine.md#createpanel10) to create a [panel](js-apis-inputmethodengine.md#panel10) of the [soft keyboard type](js-apis-inputmethodengine.md#paneltype10). 235 236## 12800013 Window Manager Service Error 237 238**Error Message** 239 240Window manager service error. 241 242**Description** 243 244The window manager service is not running properly. 245 246**Possible Causes** 247 248After the API is called, the system uses the capabilities of the window manager module. This error is thrown due to an error of the window manager service. 249 250**Solution** 251 252Restart the device and try again. 253 254## 12800014 Non-Full Access Mode of the Input Method Application 255 256**Error Message** 257 258The input method is in basic mode. 259 260**Description** 261 262The input method application is in non-full access mode. 263 264**Possible Causes** 265 266This error is thrown if the input method is in non-full access mode after you call an API that requires the full access mode to be enabled. 267 268**Solution** 269 270Enable the full access mode of the input method in **Settings**. 271 272## 12800015 Message Receiver Unable to Receive Custom Communication Data 273 274**Error Message** 275 276The other side does not accept the request. 277 278**Description** 279 280The message receiver cannot receive custom communication data. 281 282**Possible Causes** 283 284This error is thrown if the message receiver does not register [MessageHandler](js-apis-inputmethodengine.md#messagehandler15) to receive data when you call the API for sending custom communication data. 285 286**Solution** 287 288To receive custom communication data, register a **MessageHandler** for the message receiver, call [recvMessage](js-apis-inputmethodengine.md#recvmessage15) in the input method application, and call [recvMessage](js-apis-inputmethod.md#recvmessage15) for the input method client. 289 290## 12800016 Input Method Client Not in Edit Mode 291 292**Error Message** 293 294Input method client is not editable. 295 296**Description** 297 298The input method client is not in edit mode. 299 300**Possible Causes** 301 302The input method client exits the edit mode after being attached. For example, [hideTextInput](js-apis-inputmethod.md#hidetextinput10) is called after the self-drawing component is attached to the input method through `Attach`. 303 304**Solution** 305 306Enter the edit mode again after the input method client is attached and exits the edit mode. For example, the self-drawing component should enter the edit mode again by calling [showTextInput](js-apis-inputmethod.md#showtextinput10). 307 308## 12800017 Invalid Panel Type or Panel Flag 309 310**Error Message** 311 312Invalid panel type or panel flag. 313 314**Description** 315 316Invalid panel type or panel flag. 317 318**Possible Causes** 319 320This error is thrown if the [panel type](js-apis-inputmethodengine.md#paneltype10) or [panel flag](js-apis-inputmethodengine.md#panelflag10) of the input method does not support API call, or you cannot pass the type or flag to the API. 321 322**Solution** 323 324Read the API usage description and adjust the input method panel type or panel status as required. 325 326## 12800018 Input Method Not Found 327 328**Error Message** 329 330The input method is not found. 331 332**Description** 333 334The input method is not found. 335 336**Possible Causes** 337 338The input method is not installed. 339 340**Solution** 341 342Call the [getAllInputMethods](js-apis-inputmethod.md#getallinputmethods11) to query all installed input methods. 343 344<!--Del--> 345## 12800019 Unsupported Operation by Default Input Method 346 347**Error Message** 348 349Current operation cannot be applied to the preconfigured default input method. 350 351**Description** 352 353The default input method configured in the system does not support this operation. 354 355**Possible Causes** 356 357[enableInputMethod](js-apis-inputmethod-sys.md#enableinputmethod20) or [EnabledState](js-apis-inputmethod.md#enabledstate15) is called to enable or disable the default input method. 358 359**Solution** 360 361Call the [getDefaultInputMethod](js-apis-inputmethod.md#inputmethodgetdefaultinputmethod11) API to query the default input method configured in the system, and check whether the input method in use is the default input method. If yes, no processing is performed. 362 363<!--DelEnd--> 364 365## 12800020 Invalid Immersive Effect 366 367**Error Message** 368 369Invalid immersive effect. 3701.
