Low-delay input method for Android application on Linux platform

Abstract

The invention discloses a low-delay input method for an Android application on a Linux platform, and the method comprises the steps: creating a Linux edit box control with the same appearance and the same position for an Android application edit box which obtains an input focus at present in a Linux system as an agent edit box, and enabling a user to complete the input of the Android application through the agent edit box. The interaction between the user input operation and the android compatible environment is realized by the proxy edit box, and the data communication between the android application display unit and the android application compatible service is effectively reduced, so that the system resource overhead is reduced, the problem of response delay of the android application to the user input is further solved, and the user experience is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of developing mobile applications running on a desktop operating system, and in particular relates to a low-delay input method for Android applications on a Linux platform. Background technique [0002] The Linux system Android compatibility environment (hereinafter referred to as the Android compatibility environment) is a technology for running Android applications (Apps) on the Linux system, which is of great significance for enriching the application ecology of the Linux system. The Android compatible environment is generally composed of the Host and the Guest. The Host runs on the Linux system, mainly including the Android container and the user interaction window. The function of the Android container is to isolate some kernel resources from the Linux system to support the operation of the Guest. The client side mainly includes the specially customized Android application framework and the Android runt...

At this point, the user can use the input method that comes with the Android system to input content. However, because the Android input method can only receive English letters entered by the keyboard, and cannot use the keyboard to input Chinese, when the user wants to input Chinese content, only Can use the mouse to click on the input interface, which brings inconvenience to the user's operation

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the prior art proposes to use the Linux input method as the input method of the Android application. However, the process of using the Linux input method to input the content into the Android compatible environment requires multiple inter-process data communications in the Linux system. Complete, this will bring a large system resource overhead, resulting in delays from user input content operation to content display, in addition, there may also be a problem of asynchronous refresh between the Android compatible environment and the Android application display unit, which will reduce the user experience. The experience of using Android applications on Linux system
