▼Nix Appropriate Android SDK with NDK is available in the development shell. The gradlew should work out-of-the-box, so you can install the app to your phone with ./gradlew installDebug after applying the patch mentioned above. For development, you may want to install the unstable version of Android Studio, and point the project SDK path to $ANDROID_SDK_ROOT defined in the shell. Notice that Android Studio may generate wrong local.properties which sets the SDK location to ~/Android/SDK (installed by SDK Manager). In such case, you need specify sdk.dir as the project SDK in that file manually, in case Android Studio sticks to the wrong global SDK.

What's new
- ▼Highlights ・On some phones with physical keyboards, the input method can select candidates or input digits/punctuations with combination keys properly. @rocka ・CandidatesView for physical keyboards now supports long-press actions (#875) @WhiredPlanck . It would also pop up automatically when switching input method by keyboard shortcuts, and show an icon on system status bar to indicate the activate input method (#830) @rocka. ・In password inputs, the toolbar number row can be dismissed by swiping right. Swipe left on the right-most button on toolbar to bring it back. (#856) @iovxw ・Expanded candidate list in virtual keyboard could display tabs for filtering candidates when supported by the engine. Pinyin correction/single-character/stroke filtering are supported by the built-in pinyin engine. @rocka @wengxt
- ▼Notable changes ・Added a new option "Advanced - Keyboard height percent base", with 2 available values: DisplayMetrics (old behavior) and RealSize (new behavior). If you encounter an issue that the virtual keyboard height would change after switching theme/rotating screen, the new behavior maybe able to solve that. We are planing to deprecate the old behavior since it's unstable on some devices.
