Android Question Creating a keyboard

[galimpic]

Is there a way to create a new keyboard using B4A, which then can be registered like any other? I tried to search for info, but I only found it mentioned in an old thread from 2011 where it says it's not possible - but it was many versions ago...

Not without a custom library that implements the IME service.

I assume you didn't have this IME library in mind: http://www.b4x.com/android/help/ime.htm
If so, the answer is - no?

Actually I did have this library in mind. However it doesn't implement the InputMethodService: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/inputmethodservice/InputMethodService.html

Too bad. I had an idea about a keyboard, but I only know how to use B4A. Is it too low level for it, or is it just this one wrapper class short? Can something be done about it?

It is not a simple library to develop or to use.
