How to send message to InputMethodService from another process in android?
I'm developing a custom keyboard using InputMethodService(keyboardService) in android. The InputMethodService starts in a separate process and I need to send some data to the keyboardService from the same app I'm developing.
In other words I need to send data to InputMethodService from another service.
I checked the IPC mechanisms in android and found Messenger/Handler and AIDL.Both mechanisms need IBinder object which is not available in InputMethodService.
So how can I achieve this?
