Android Support? about workman

[gooddadmike]

I think the routes to this existing in Android are

• The hardest/best option would be to propose Workman as a standard like Dvorak so that it can be found in the language options of all/most keyboards (Preferences>Custom input styles>Layouts {QWERTY,AZERTY,Dvorak,Colemak})
• You could create a stand alone keyboard app
• You could submit your layout as an option to popular 3rd party keyboards like swype or swiftkey or Fleksy or hackers keyboard

My pull request to add Workman to AnySoftKeyboard was just accepted. It should be included in the next release, although I don't know when that will be.

I don't think Gboard supports custom layouts. Is there a third party keyboard that supports custom layout that you want the Workman layout for?

Hi. I'm not sure if I'm missing something but I cannot find the Workman layout in the Input Languages list after installing, enabling, and selecting Hacker's Keyboard on my Anroid 6.0.1 phone. I wasn't even aware of the existence of Workman on Android until now. Any info or putting me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much for doing this! I'll install AnySoftKeyboard and eagerly wait to see the Workman layout implemented.

I've been waiting to see Workman on Android for years now!

You could also setup a custom layout with the Multiling O Keyboard.

AnySoftKeyboard just released a new version, and it now supports the Workman layout.

@ajgrf Thank you so much for letting us know, Alex! This is awesome news for me.

@ajgrf Almost forgot, and thank you so much for your work on it to give AnySoftKeyboard an easier task.

@HaoZeke Thank you for the alternative solution. Hopefully, I won't need to do that now, but I'll remember what you said should I not be happy with AnySoftKeyboard for some reason in the future.

Since this was resolved, we can both close this issue and possibly make a PR to document where you can use Workman on Android

[gooddadmike]

agreed. Was this ever added to documentation?
