5 replies
I create some application by using java UI. And I want to change language when I focus on other JTextField.

EX.


When I focus on JTextField upper. Language will switch to English. But when I focus on JTextField lower. Language will switch to other language.

Ps. I come from country where don't use English is Official language.
If I use wrong word or wrong tense. Please provide me a correct word.
Thank you

    I don't think you'll find very many people that know Java around here. Might try one of the Java forums...

    I am learning Java for Android development.
    I think you will have to change the locale by using .selectInputMethod(new Locale())like this for french:

    Code:
    txt.getInputContext().selectInputMethod(new Locale("fr","FR"))
    InputMethod (Java Platform SE 7 )

      You're correct, that should work. How are you liking Android Dev?

        I have managed to get this working, what you need is to set your chosen languages at the start, i put this after the
        Code:
        public static void main(String[] args) {
        you will need to make these for any languages you want to use, I chose German:
        Code:
        final InputContext de = InputContext.getInstance();
de.selectInputMethod(new Locale("de", "DE"));
        Then when setting up the texfield you set your chosen keyboard layout (language) for this texfield like this
        Code:
        final JTextField mssg = new JTextField(){     
       @Override
        public InputContext getInputContext() {
        return de;
      };
    };
        What this does is makes the texfield called 'mssg' use the German keyboard layout.

        Also you need
        Code:
        import java.awt.im.InputContext;
import java.util.Locale;

        Yes I am enjoying the Android dev but learning Java is the tricky part.
        I have been using phonegap / cordova with html5 in a webview at the moment but might as well learn Java in my spare time.
