Both android and iOS provide OS software onscreen keyboards. The event package needs a common API for activating both, and needs to adjust the reported screen space appropriately.

There are some curious complications for those of us used to traditional keyboards, but nothing impossible:

  • there are various ways to suggest different key layouts (for example, just a numeric pad)
  • word suggestion can translate in a large number of single key presses all at once

word suggestion can translate in a large number of single key presses all at once

Is it possible/a good idea to be able to represent that as a single event containing multiple key presses, rather than multiple unconnected (aside from temporal proximity) single key press events?

app, cmd/gomobile: subclass NativeActivity
8f20c3e 
Subclassing NativeActivity makes two things possible. Firstly, we can
implement an InputConnection to offer good support for IMEs,
necessary for good keyboard support. Secondly, we can use it to
overlay WebViews onto the NativeActivity.

But to sublcass NativeActivity, we need to compile Java. To keep the
toolchain go gettable, this is done with go generate.

While here, check the exception after FindClass. Apparently it can
throw an exception.

Updates golang/go#9361.
Updates golang/go#10247.
