[Q] Modding Words With Friends - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I have been working in Java for awhile now, and I thought I might dip my toes into android development.
If I was looking to add certain functionality to Words With Friends how would I start exactly? I wanted to add a dictionary button to the interface that reads the definition of a selected word. I saw that Words with Friends uses the ENABLE dictionary, and I have an idea on how I could get this to work, but how would I be able to implement this into an actual copy of the game a la the *Dark Mod*?
thanks in advance

[Q] changing text field editing interface

Hello!
Sorry if this is asked/answered, search isn't working on my phone.
Is there any way to change just the text field editing interface on the sgs2? cyanogenmod seems to have it down pretty well but the stock Samsung one that appears in practically all the ROMs I've tried is absolutely pathetic. If anyone is confused about what I mean, I mean selecting words, highlighting words, copying and pasting words, the little text selection arrows etc. It is frustratingly incompetent ATM and is making me want to throw my phone at a wall.
Its the one main thing that bothers me about Android, iOS has this perfectly sorted.
Most of the time now I have to write my emails/forum posts/Facebook posts etc (ie anything with multiple lines of text) in a notepad type program and copy and paste it over, as trying to select a sole word in the middle of many in a websites text field (or similar) is quite literally impossible.
Someone help me, it is driving me insane.
Thank you.
Is there seriously nothing that can be done about this?
I find that quite hard to believe..

[Q] How to import glossaries?

Hi!
As you all know the Android virtual keyboard can offer suggestĂ­ons on the fly, when typing your text. However, these suggestions may be limited in lack of a good dictionary. So, people usually start to add new words to their custom glossary. This process could be made quicker by importing a glossary, but one has to know the exact format requirements and the folder where this dictionary must be placed. Please share any tips&ideas on this!

[Q] Soft keyboard with HTML5

Hi there, first time poster. I was wondering if someone could answer a few questions for me as it pertains to HTML5 and bringing up a Keyboard on Android (any version). I am a website developer and I have recently gotten into making my web applications mobile friendly, but I'm running into some snags when trying to get a certain keyboard to show up on Android / iOS and I'm wondering why it's not a bigger issue than I've seen so far.
Right now, if I add an <input> onto my page and add type="number", Android will pull up a keyboard that has numbers, etc. My problem is, the field I'm using isn't a "real floating point number", which all major browsers (except IE11) disallow. If I have an input set up to take a credit card number, I cannot allow the user to add dashes to make it easier to read while using type="number". However, I'd rather have the number keypad pop up by default as it really is all numbers, just not a calculatable (is that a word?) number.
I was wondering how difficult it would be for Android to add in something so when a field is clicked into, it would look for a specific vendor prefix to load a soft keyboard of the web developer's choosing? For instance:
Code:
<input type="text" data-soft-keyboard="number">
or
Code:
<input type="text" data-soft-keyboard="email">
which will give the device very clear and explicit instructions on which type of keyboard to display.
Sorry if this seems way out in left field, but I haven't found a decent solution to this issue. I went to Chrome forums to discuss and people said Chrome is 100% working off of the HTML5 spec. My personal opinion is that the HTML5 spec is wrong and why the hell are browsers doing validation against data in textboxes when I didn't specifically ask for it. However, I'm not really sure which direction to go at this point.
Any suggestions or opinions on the matter would be very nice, thank you

[Q] Help Regarding Feature Missing on Android

HI I have been a dedicated iphone user but recently moved to Android. I love my phone but the issue that I have is that I can't view news like the reader mode that is available in Safari which also word wraps the text as I zoom in on any news website. Does anyone know any solution? I have tried Opera and it is the only valid solution I have found but has another issue which I am telling now.
The second feature that I miss the most is the ability to select words while reading any article and click Define to get the meaning of the word. Now on Android though I found word lookup but this doesn't work with opera. So I can't use both these features together which is a very bad experience for me. I have done enough search but can't find a browser that can word wrap the text as I zoom in and also has the ability to define words. I hope anyone of the experience users have answer to my query.

How to add icon from android cell phone during working with office apps like polaris

Hello,
I request to the experts of this forum to help me so that I can solve the following problem. I would like to make resume/curriculum vitae from my android phone. And in many resume besides the title of Education, skill, experience, location, people usually add some icons. For example beside or above the title Education people place an icon of square hat or graduate hat. The icons are tiny in size, and they are not image. I use polaris office, powerpoint point (android version), officesuit, wps office. But none of these apps offer an option to add such kind of icons.
I don't have personal computer, that is why I will have to use this android phone. Please let me know how to add icons by using android phone.
Feature of my android cell phone is : Android version 4.4.2 KitKat, 8GB ROM+1GB Ram.
Thanks in advance.
