InputMethodAdapter

extends Object
implements InputMethod

java.lang.Object
↳	sun.awt.im.InputMethodAdapter

Class Overview

An input method adapter interfaces with the native input methods on a host platform. In general, it looks to the input method framework like a Java input method (that may support a few more locales than a typical Java input method). However, since it often has to work in a slightly hostile environment that's not designed for easy integration into the Java input method framework, it gets some special treatment that's not available to Java input methods.

Licensees are free to modify this class as necessary to implement their host input method adapters.

Inherited Methods

From class java.lang.Object

Object	clone() Creates and returns a copy of this object.
boolean	equals(Object obj) Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
void	finalize() Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.
final Class<?>	getClass() Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
int	hashCode() Returns a hash code value for the object.
final void	notify() Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
final void	notifyAll() Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
String	toString() Returns a string representation of the object.
final void	wait() Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the `notify()` method or the `notifyAll()` method for this object.
final void	wait(long timeout, int nanos) Causes the current thread to wait until another thread invokes the `notify()` method or the `notifyAll()` method for this object, or some other thread interrupts the current thread, or a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
final void	wait(long timeout) Causes the current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the `notify()` method or the `notifyAll()` method for this object, or a specified amount of time has elapsed.

From interface java.awt.im.spi.InputMethod

abstract void	activate() Activates the input method for immediate input processing.
abstract void	deactivate(boolean isTemporary) Deactivates the input method.
abstract void	dispatchEvent(AWTEvent event) Dispatches the event to the input method.
abstract void	dispose() Releases the resources used by this input method.
abstract void	endComposition() Ends any input composition that may currently be going on in this context.
abstract Object	getControlObject() Returns a control object from this input method, or null.
abstract Locale	getLocale() Returns the current input locale.
abstract void	hideWindows() Closes or hides all windows opened by this input method instance or its class.
abstract boolean	isCompositionEnabled() Determines whether this input method is enabled.
abstract void	notifyClientWindowChange(Rectangle bounds) Notifies this input method of changes in the client window location or state.
abstract void	reconvert() Starts the reconversion operation.
abstract void	removeNotify() Notifies the input method that a client component has been removed from its containment hierarchy, or that input method support has been disabled for the component.
abstract void	setCharacterSubsets(Subset[] subsets) Sets the subsets of the Unicode character set that this input method is allowed to input.
abstract void	setCompositionEnabled(boolean enable) Enables or disables this input method for composition, depending on the value of the parameter `enable`.
abstract void	setInputMethodContext(InputMethodContext context) Sets the input method context, which is used to dispatch input method events to the client component and to request information from the client component.
abstract boolean	setLocale(Locale locale) Attempts to set the input locale.

Public Methods

public abstract void disableInputMethod ()

Disable the native input method. This method is provided for explicitly turning off the native IM. The native IM is not turned off when the native input method is deactivated. This method is always called on AWT EDT. See details in bug 6226489.

public abstract String getNativeInputMethodInfo ()

Returns a string with information about the native input method, or null.

public void notifyClientWindowChange (Rectangle location)

Notifies client Window location or status changes

Parameters

location	client window's `bounds` on the screen; or null if the client window is iconified or invisible

public void reconvert ()

Starts reconvertion. An implementing host adapter has to override this method if it can support reconvert().

Throws

UnsupportedOperationException	when the adapter does not override the method.

Protected Methods

protected Component getClientComponent ()

protected boolean haveActiveClient ()

protected void setAWTFocussedComponent (Component component)

Informs the input method adapter about the component that has the AWT focus if it's using the input context owning this adapter instance.

protected void stopListening ()

Informs the input method adapter not to listen to the native events. This method is called when a Java input method is active.

protected boolean supportsBelowTheSpot ()

Returns whether host input methods can support below-the-spot input. Returns false by default.
