Adding to the Android User Dictionary

On Android there is a single UserDictionary that works across all keyboards, and any app (with the appropriate permissions) can query, add and remove words. Here is some simple code to add a word to the dictionary (via XE8):

[delphi light=”true”]uses Androidapi.JNI.Provider, Androidapi.Helpers, Androidapi.JNI.JavaTypes;

procedure AddUserWord(const AWord: string); begin // Need WRITE_USER_DICTIONARY permission TJUserDictionary_Words.JavaClass.addWord( SharedActivityContext, // Context StringToJString(AWord),// Word to add 255, // Frequency: 1- 255 nil, // optional shortcut SharedActivityContext.getResources.getConfiguration.locale ); end; [/delphi]

If you also want to read the dictionary then you need to have the READ_USER_DICTIONARY permission. Check out the documentation for more information on the UserDictionary and it’s Words list.
