Detailed Description

This class allows you to manage dictionaries for virtual keyboard input methods. Dictionaries are application-defined and can be activated in the desired context.

Note: Dictionaries do not refer to the built-in dictionaries of the input method, but to the application's own dictionaries (for example, a phonebook application).

The following operations are supported by the dictionary manager:

  • Create dictionaries using the createDictionary() function.
  • Add or modify content of the dictionary instance.
  • Activate dictionaries by adding them to the list of base dictionaries or extra dictionaries.

To activate dictionaries from QML, use the VirtualKeyboard attached type.

Member Function Documentation

QVirtualKeyboardDictionary *QVirtualKeyboardDictionaryManager::createDictionary(const QString &name)

Create a dictionary with the given name or return the dictionary if it already exists.

The dictionary instance is owned by the dictionary manager and must not be destroyed manually. To free memory allocated for the dictionary, the application may reset the contents of the dictionary.

QVirtualKeyboardDictionary *QVirtualKeyboardDictionaryManager::dictionary(const QString &name) const

Returns an existing dictionary if it exists.

[static] QVirtualKeyboardDictionaryManager *QVirtualKeyboardDictionaryManager::instance()

Returns the singleton instance of the QVirtualKeyboardDictionaryManager.

All the functionalities must be called from the main thread.
