Provides classes that allow you to create spell checkers in a manner similar to the input method framework (for IMEs).
To create a new spell checker, you must implement a service that extends {@link android.service.textservice.SpellCheckerService} and extend the {@link android.service.textservice.SpellCheckerService.Session} class to provide spelling suggestions based on text provided by the interface's callback methods. In the {@link android.service.textservice.SpellCheckerService.Session} callback methods, you must return the spelling suggestions as {@link android.view.textservice.SuggestionsInfo} objects.
Applications with a spell checker service must declare the {@link android.Manifest.permission#BIND_TEXT_SERVICE} permission as required by the service. The service must also declare an intent filter with {@code <action android:name="android.service.textservice.SpellCheckerService" />} as the intent’s action and should include a {@code <meta-data>} element that declares configuration information for the spell checker. For example:
<service
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:name=".SampleSpellCheckerService"
android:permission="android.permission.BIND_TEXT_SERVICE" >
<intent-filter >
<action android:name="android.service.textservice.SpellCheckerService" />
</intent-filter>
<meta-data
android:name="android.view.textservice.scs"
android:resource="@xml/spellchecker" />
</service>
For example code, see the sample Spell Checker service app, and the sample Spell Checker client app.
