Attributes

Remarks

Start stylus handwriting session.

If supported by the current input method, a stylus handwriting session is started on the given View, capturing all stylus input and converting it to InputConnection commands.

If handwriting mode is started successfully by the IME, any currently dispatched stylus pointers will be android.view.MotionEvent#FLAG_CANCELED cancelled.

If Stylus handwriting mode is not supported or cannot be fulfilled for any reason by IME, request will be ignored and Stylus touch will continue as normal touch input. Ideally, #isStylusHandwritingAvailable() should be called first to determine if stylus handwriting is supported by IME.
