    27  * Provides classes and interfaces for the input method framework. This package

    28  * enables text editing components to receive text input through input methods.

    29  * Input methods are software components that let the user enter text in ways

    30  * other than simple typing on a keyboard. They are commonly used to enter

    31  * Japanese, Chinese, or Korean - languages using thousands of different

    32  * characters - on keyboards with far fewer keys. However, the framework also

    33  * supports input methods for other languages and the use of entirely different

    34  * input mechanisms, such as handwriting or speech recognition.
