1# Rotary IME: Sample input method for rotary controller
2
3This is a sample IME for use with a rotary controller. It is intentionally very basic so that it's
4easy to understand the code. It doesn't support multiple locales / layouts. It doesn't support
5password fields, numeric fields, etc.

7## Building
8```
9make RotaryIME
10```
11
12## Installing
13```
14adb install out/target/product/[hardware]/system/app/RotaryIME/RotaryIME.apk
15```
16
17## Using
18
19Once installed, configure the `rotary_input_method` string resource in the
20`CarRotaryController` package to refer to this IME:
21```
22 <string name="rotary_input_method" translatable="false">com.android.car.rotaryime/.RotaryIme</string>
23```
24Then build and install `CarRotaryController`. There is no need to enable this
25IME or select it; the `RotaryService` will select it automatically in rotary mode.
