I have created a keyboard layout for the language I speak on windows using Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator.
I want to port the same layout to Phones.
Before the cursing starts, I have done a quick research.:) according to which:
all keyboard layouts are located at
\system\usr\keylayout
all keyboard character map files are located at
\system\usr\keychars
I went through the official documentation on Key Layout Files
Where Do I Stand Now?
Well, as I said in the start I have worked with a MS based app for creating keyboard layouts on Windows (obviously), The whole thing in Linux world is a bit gibberish to me at the moment because of lots of manual text file editing I guess.
So, my ultimate question is,
Is there such a tool which can help me create a new layout or import the existing layout which I created for windows to Android?
Update 2
I couldn't update my answer before because I didn't get the time. I finally found a tool which helped me a lot. It's called Keyboard Layout Editor. Please don't forget to star this guys repo. KLE is really easy to use and functional and I could achieve my goal easily. Oh by the way this one is for Ubuntu(Linux).
For Android though, I cloned the Sample SoftKeybord from Android source. You can download tar here. It's not a layout editor but the actual keyboard. You just edit it to suit your needs.
