Android默认输入法语言的修改以及SettingsProvider作用

Android源码中默认的有三种输入法：英文，中文，日文。对应的工程代码路径为：
<android_root>/packages/inputmethods/LatinIME/
<android_root>/packages/inputmethods/OpenWnn/
<android_root>/packages/inputmethods/PinyinIME/

一般情况下，默认都是选择的LatinIME输入法，但是Android系统默认都是选择系统语言作为输入法，比如我们要用中文输入法，
就需要切换系统语言为中文，或不勾选系统语言，主动勾选中文，但是我们怎么修改默认的语言输入法呢？
主要要关注3个模块代码:
(1) Setting源码
(2) SettingsProvider源码
(3) LatinIME输入法源码

方法一:(修改默认输入法语言为英文和泰文,亲测ok)
(1) 修改 packagesinputmethodsLatinIMEjavaAndroidManifest.xml,增加

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS" />
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS" />
 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
 
 <receiver android:name="LatinImeReceiver" android:enabled="true">
  <intent-filter>
   <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
   </intent-filter>
 </receiver>

(2) 在packagesinputmethodsLatinIMEjavasrccomandroidinputmethodlatin目录增加LatinImeReceiver.java文件，源码如下

package com.android.inputmethod.latin;
  
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.provider.Settings;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.inputmethod.InputMethodInfo;
import android.view.inputmethod.InputMethodManager;
import android.view.inputmethod.InputMethodSubtype;
import android.text.TextUtils;
import android.content.SharedPreferences.Editor; 
import android.preference.PreferenceManager; 

public class LatinImeReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    private static final String TAG = LatinImeReceiver.class.getSimpleName();
    
    private static final String[] DEFAULT_LATIN_IME_LANGUAGES = {"en_US","th"};//默认开启输入法的语言
    
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    // Set the default input language at the system boot completed.
        
        if (Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED.equals(intent.getAction())) {
            Log.i(TAG,"onReceive:ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED");
            SharedPreferences sp = context.getSharedPreferences("default_input_language_config", Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
            boolean hasSet = sp.getBoolean("has_set", false);
         
            if (!hasSet) {
                setDefaultSubtypes(context);
                sp.edit().putBoolean("has_set", true).commit();
            }
        }
    }
     
    /**

    */
      
    private void setDefaultSubtypes(Context context) {  
        Log.i(TAG,"setDefaultSubtypes");
        final String serviceName = "com.android.inputmethod.latin/.LatinIME";
        final String currentPackageName = "com.android.inputmethod.latin";
        final String enable = Settings.Secure.getString(context.getContentResolver(), 
                                                    Settings.Secure.ENABLED_INPUT_METHODS);
        Log.i(TAG,"enable="+enable);//com.android.inputmethod.latin/.LatinIME
        
        final InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) context.getSystemService( Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        final StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
             
        // Get sub type hash code
        for (InputMethodInfo info : imm.getInputMethodList()) {
            if (currentPackageName.equals(info.getPackageName())) {
                Log.i(TAG,"info.getSubtypeCount()="+info.getSubtypeCount());//55
                for (int i = 0; i < info.getSubtypeCount(); i++) {  
                    final InputMethodSubtype subtype = info.getSubtypeAt(i); 
                    final String locale = subtype.getLocale().toString();
                    Log.i(TAG,"locale="+locale);
                    if (isDefaultLocale(locale)) {
                        Log.i(TAG, "default enabled subtype locale = " + locale);
                        builder.append(';');
                        builder.append(subtype.hashCode());
                    }
                }
                break;
            }
        }
      
        // Insert the sub type 
        if (builder.length() > 0 && !TextUtils.isEmpty(enable)) {
            final String subtype = builder.toString();     
            builder.setLength(0);      
            final int index = enable.indexOf(serviceName) + serviceName.length();    
            
            if (enable.length() > index) {      
                builder.append(enable.substring(0, index));     
                builder.append(subtype);      
                builder.append(enable.substring(index));     
            } else if (enable.length() == index) {     
                builder.append(enable);     
                builder.append(subtype);     
            } else {     
                return;     
            }
        } 
        else {  
            Log.w(TAG, "Build Latin IME subtype failed: " + " builder length = " + builder.length()     + 
                    "; enable isEmpty :" + TextUtils.isEmpty(enable));     
            return;     
        }
          
        
        /*android/packages/inputmethods/LatinIME/java/res/xml/method.xml

        Log.i(TAG,"commoit:"+builder.toString());//com.android.inputmethod.latin/.LatinIME;-921088104;529847764
        
        // Commit the result  
        android.provider.Settings.Secure.putString(context.getContentResolver(),  
                                android.provider.Settings.Secure.ENABLED_INPUT_METHODS, builder.toString()); 
        String lastInputMethodId = Settings.Secure.getString(context.getContentResolver(), 
                                                    Settings.Secure.DEFAULT_INPUT_METHOD); 
        Log.w(TAG, "DEFAULT_INPUT_METHOD = " + lastInputMethodId); //com.android.inputmethod.latin/.LatinIME
        
        if(lastInputMethodId.equals(serviceName)) {  
            Log.w(TAG, "DEFAULT_INPUT_METHOD = com.android.inputmethod.latin/.LatinIME" );

                if (currentPackageName.equals(info.getPackageName())) {
                    for (int i = 0; i < info.getSubtypeCount(); i++) { 
                        final InputMethodSubtype subtype = info.getSubtypeAt(i);
                        final String[] locales = DEFAULT_LATIN_IME_LANGUAGES;
                        Log.w(TAG, "i = " + i + ", locales[0] = " + locales[0]);
                        if((subtype.getLocale()).equals(locales[0])) {

                return true;
            }
        }
        
        return false; 
    }
         
}
  

方法二:
还有一种修改方案:(在amlogic验证是OK的)
(1) 首先frameworksasepackagesSettingsProvider esvaluesdefaults.xml 增加下面语句
<string name="def_input_methods">com.android.inputmethod.latin/.LatinIME;529847764;-921088104</string>

意思是增加英文和泰文输入法,android/packages/inputmethods/LatinIME/java/res/xml/method.xml中有定义的
-921088104;529847764分别代表en_US和th

(2) 然后在frameworksasepackagesSettingsProvidersrccomandroidproviderssettingsDatabaseHelper.java
增加如下代码
loadStringSetting(stmt, Settings.Secure.ENABLED_INPUT_METHODS, R.string.def_input_methods);

frameworks/base/packages/SettingsProvider的作用
我们在调用android.provider.Settings修改一些设置时，Settings会调用真正的SettingsProvider去访问数据库。
android把SettingsProvider的代码放在了frameworks/base/packages下面。

Android framework系统默认设置修改
修改Settings源码可修改系统设置项，Settings数据被存放于com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db 中，如果想修改系统启动后加载的默认值，一种方法是直接修改settings.db的值，另一种就是修改SettingsProvider默认值
Settings应用能够配置Android系统的各种设置，这些设置的默认值都是由frameworks中的SettingsProvider从数据库中读取的，
那么第一次开机的时候这些数据都是从哪儿来的呢？
frameworks/base/packages/SettingsProvider/res/values/defaults.xml这个文件就是用来存储Android系统的默认设置
如果想定义defaults.xml中没有的，在这里添加后，需修改frameworks/base/packages/SettingsProvider/src/com/android/providers/settings/DatabaseHelper.java，加入自己的存储代码。
例如：
600000设置关屏超时时间的默认值
102 设置亮度的默认值
false设置是否允许安装非Market应用程序的默认值
