Soft Keyboard stopped unexpectedly...

[erta...@gmail.com]

I am trying to port Android to my Dell Axim x51v. I use the Android
master branch and kernel 2.6.29 with my own patches. But I have a
strange problem with the soft keyboard. Whenever I focus on a text
input field I get the following error as a dialog:

The application Android keyboard (process
com.android.inputmethod.latin) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try
again.

And the following is the logcat entry. It says something about
"permission denied for this window type"... Can anybody help me with
this?

I guess nobody has anything helpful to say about that?

I really want to solve this problem. It seems like a "permission"
problem, but I cannot find what permission.
I did not change anything related to permissions. I just use
android-2.6.29 branch with my own patches for
Dell Axim x51v. And that's all...

Can it be related to ext3 partition I use for the root, system, data
etc??

[erta...@gmail.com]

Can somebody guide me on how to debug this please?

LatinIME is not working on my device. How can I debug it?

[Jim Pai]

I have met the situation, but it's happened on PinyinIME.
I checked the log, seems the permission so that the CandidateView
can't be create.

[erta...@gmail.com]

So is there anything we can do to solve it?

I didn't change anything related to permissions, why would a problem
like this occur?

Can you send me the crash. The best thing is to understand
where the crash is and look at the code. The code is under
packages/inputmethods/LatinIme/src I think.

The following is the logcat entry:

Just not to leave this unanswered.
This seems related to "policy_mid".

When I use it, the soft keyboard does not show up.

[Dianne Hackborn]

The mid policy is not being maintained, and it would be surprising if it worked at all.  I strongly suggest staying away from it.
