Hello,

I am a developer and recently completed the implementation of my
keyboard MessagEase. It's available on the Market (with its very-
different features, making it quite unlike QWERTY).

This keyboard works fine as a replacement of the standard keyboard on
an Android Phone. But for a An Android Tablet, it would work best if
it's implemented as a floating, movable keyboard.

(the footprint of this keyboard is mostly dependable on the size of a
human's finger; it remains the same even if the tablet's display is
much larger than a phone's. Therefore it'll take a relatively smaller
area on a tablet.)

If I use the current SDK hooks, it will have to take a significant
portion of the screen, defeating the purpose.

Can someone point me to the right direction in creating a floating
keyboard? or is it possible?

Thanks.
