enable failed about adbkeyboard

Thanks for the update @senzhk . Maybe the problem wasn't related to the API at all, but with the order of adb commands:

$ adb install ADBKeyboard.apk 
Performing Streamed Install
Success
$ adb shell ime list -s
com.android.inputmethod.latin/.LatinIME
com.volosyukivan/.WiFiInputMethod
$ adb shell ime enable com.android.adbkeyboard/.AdbIME
Input method com.android.adbkeyboard/.AdbIME: now enabled for user #0
$ adb shell ime list -s
com.android.inputmethod.latin/.LatinIME
com.volosyukivan/.WiFiInputMethod
com.android.adbkeyboard/.AdbIME

As you can see, even after installing the new apk, the ime list still didn't show the AdbIME entry. Only after ime enable it became visible in ime list and I was able to

$ adb shell ime set com.android.adbkeyboard/.AdbIME
Input method com.android.adbkeyboard/.AdbIME selected for user #0

Maybe this helps you as well, @Jerrywang77 .

Same issue here, with Android 13 (LineageOS).

I installed it via adb install ADBKeyboard.apk and then listed the available input methods:

$ adb shell ime list -s
com.android.inputmethod.latin/.LatinIME
com.volosyukivan/.WiFiInputMethod

i.e. the .AdbIME doesn't show up.

Unsurprisingly,

$ adb shell ime set com.android.adbkeyboard/.AdbIME
Unknown input method com.android.adbkeyboard/.AdbIME cannot be selected for user #0

the input method isn't available.

For now I've been working with com.volosyukivan/.WiFiInputMethod which should have all available features, but I'd like to see if com.android.adbkeyboard/.AdbIME is easier, which I think it should be as I don't have to talk to it via HTTP and don't need to forward ports.

not sure if it related to sdk version, but just uploaded a new apk with newer api.

adb shell ime list -s
 - com.google.android.inputmethod.latin/com.android.inputmethod.latin.LatinIME
- com.android.adbkeyboard/.AdbIME

adb shell ime enable com.android.adbkeyboard/.AdbIME

adb shell ime set com.android.adbkeyboard/.AdbIME
