I'm doing a project where I need a virtual keyboard inside a JPanel that I'm using in full screen. The input comes from an external library that gets the position touched over the screen.

Does anyone know a nice implementation of a virtual keyboard like the one in honeycomb for android?

Thank you in advance,

  • Do you need an "actual" UI control or do you already get the coordinates and need to translate them into the appropriate key(s)? –  Mar 13 '12 at 22:37
  • I need a proper GUI to embed it inside my JFrame, which works as a big canvas. I would like to have something nice, but at the moment I did not find anything... – giulio Mar 15 '12 at 14:03

this post already talks about similar keyboard

Multilingual virtual keyboard in java

its a multilingual keyboard, which you can restrict the languages to.

UPDATE

there is another good way to do it if you are planning to implement it on windows machine, discussed in following post.

open the Windows virtual keyboard in a Java program

with this you don't have any hassle involved with layouts and other stuff, Microsoft have done the work for you.

Probably not exactly what you're looking for, but here's a DiC post about the same topic:
