title: Text Entry on an Android Custom View
body: <p>I'm dealing with a phone that has no physical keyboard and I'm using my own custom view for rendering.  The device I'm working with, by default, seems to be in a T9 type entry mode where it suggests blocks of text.  However, it never sends me the actual key events.  </p>
  
  <p>How do I tell whatever soft-keyboard that pops up to enter 'dumb' key event sending mode?  </p>
  
  <p>The InputMethodManager has a "isAcceptinText()" call which would tell me if it's in event-sending mode, but not a method to set it.  Digging through the documentation hasn't produced any insight.  How do I tell the input manager that I only want key events?</p>
