35 /**
36  * The InputMethod interface represents an input method which can generate key
37  * events and text, such as digital, email addresses, CJK characters, other
38  * language characters, and etc., while handling various input events, and send
39  * the text back to the application that requests text input.  See
40  * {@link InputMethodManager} for more general information about the
41  * architecture.
42  *
43  * <p>Applications will not normally use this interface themselves, instead
44  * relying on the standard interaction provided by
45  * {@link android.widget.TextView} and {@link android.widget.EditText}.
46  *
47  * <p>Those implementing input methods should normally do so by deriving from
48  * {@link InputMethodService} or one of its subclasses.  When implementing
49  * an input method, the service component containing it must also supply
50  * a {@link #SERVICE_META_DATA} meta-data field, referencing an XML resource
51  * providing details about the input method.  All input methods also must
52  * require that clients hold the
53  * {@link android.Manifest.permission#BIND_INPUT_METHOD} in order to interact
54  * with the service; if this is not required, the system will not use that
55  * input method, because it can not trust that it is not compromised.
56  *
57  * <p>The InputMethod interface is actually split into two parts: the interface
58  * here is the top-level interface to the input method, providing all
59  * access to it, which only the system can access (due to the BIND_INPUT_METHOD
60  * permission requirement).  In addition its method
61  * {@link #createSession(android.view.inputmethod.InputMethod.SessionCallback)}
62  * can be called to instantate a secondary {@link InputMethodSession} interface
63  * which is what clients use to communicate with the input method.
