Attributes

Remarks

Send the given UTF-16 character to the current input connection. Most characters will be delivered simply by calling InputConnection#commitText InputConnection.commitText() with the character; some, however, may be handled different. In particular, the enter character ('\n') will either be delivered as an action code or a raw key event, as appropriate. Consider this as a convenience method for IMEs that do not have a full implementation of actions; a fully complying IME will decide of the right action for each event and will likely never call this method except maybe to handle events coming from an actual hardware keyboard.
