Hi,

To what .pro file did you add that CONFIG entry ?

Pradeep Kumar · 24 May 2017, 06:14

I added to the virtualkeyboard.pro,
Qt\Qt5.8\Examples\Qt-5.8\virtualkeyboard,

Is this the right place, to add ?.

Thanks,

@Pradeep-Kumar

No. You have a wrong way. Read the document again. That .pro is in the plugin source(src/virtualkeyboard/virtualkeyboard.pro).

Pradeep Kumar · 24 May 2017, 07:37

Sorry now i got it ,

path : Qt\Qt5.8\5.8\Src\qtvirtualkeyboard\examples\virtualkeyboard\basic is app to run.

path : Qt\Qt5.8\5.8\Src\qtvirtualkeyboard\src\virtualkeyboard is the plugin to which we need to change and check,

am i right?.

Thanks,

@Pradeep-Kumar

Yes, you are right.
First, make(qmake & make) plugin and then install.

Pradeep Kumar · 24 May 2017, 08:19

Install means?. its a plugin, need ti install plugin to the other basic.pro

path : Qt\Qt5.8\5.8\Src\qtvirtualkeyboard\examples\virtualkeyboard\basic is app to run.
?????????????????

Thanks,

@Pradeep-Kumar

I assume you are using Windows & minGW.
Try the following procedure.

Open the Command window (aka Qt 5.8 for Desktop...)
Move to the plugin dir. (cd Qt\Qt5.8\5.8\Src\qtvirtualkeyboard\src/virtualkeyboard)
Add the "CONFIG += lang-fi_FI" in virtualkeyboard.pro and save.
Run qmake
Run mingw32-make
Run mingw32-make install
Rebuild your exampls and run.

but for lang-zh_CN, i didnt get the keyboard in chinese, any specific reason?.

Thanks,

Just a wild guess but do you have any fonts that supports these characters ?

Pradeep Kumar · wrote on 25 May 2017, 05:45

Nope, do we need to install in some respective path?.

Thanks,

In your target font folder AFAIK.

I don't think it's installed font problem.
Also i don't know PinyinInputMethod( lang-zh_CN), TCInputMethod(lang-zh_TW) and chinese languages.
But, there are difference between the two features provided by QtVirtualKeyboard.
Please compare the two source codes below.
I think the layout for zh_CN is strange.

Qt\Qt5.8\5.8\Src\qtvirtualkeyboard\src\virtualkeyboard\content\layouts\zh_CN\main.qml

Qt\Qt5.8\5.8\Src\qtvirtualkeyboard\src\virtualkeyboard\content\layouts\zh_TW\main.qml

Hi,

I have question regarding the virtual keyboard topic mentioned before and especially for the chinese one. How can I get the upper frame of the keyboard layout for the additional chinese letters.
Is it just a word prediction with hunspell or is it an independent mechanism to show additional letters depending on the current selected one?

I tried the virtual keyboard example with all languages. But with simplified chinese I have only normal alpha numeric letters like at the official QT link. But they can chose a chinese letter if they typed in some alpha numeric ones.

you can see an example here (Pinyin keyboard layout, Zhuyin keyboard layout, Cangjie keyboard layout):

@Devopia53

again after few days when i try to do the same thing, follow the same steps through command prompt,

1 Open the Command window (aka Qt 5.8 for Desktop...)
2 Move to the plugin dir. (cd Qt\Qt5.8\5.8\Src\qtvirtualkeyboard\src/virtualkeyboard)
3 Add the "CONFIG += lang-fi_FI" in virtualkeyboard.pro and save.
4 Run qmake
5 Run mingw32-make
6 Run mingw32-make install
7 Rebuild your exampls and run

The button is not enabled for respective language. and i am using

path : Qt\Qt5.8\5.8\Src\qtvirtualkeyboard\examples\virtualkeyboard\basic is app to run.

path : Qt\Qt5.8\5.8\Src\qtvirtualkeyboard\src\virtualkeyboard is the plugin to which we need to change and check,

any clue what i am doing wrong, few days back i tried it worked, now i dnt know what happened?.

Thanks,

This works fine for windows,

Anyone, who knows the similar commands to run in ubuntu,

What are the steps to compile the qt virtual keyboard and run the Qt virtual keyboard in ubuntu.

Thanks,
