About this APK

Description

From the listing uploaded by “india-market”.

Google Indic Keyboard supports different modes of input: - Transliteration mode - Get output in your native language by spelling out the pronunciation using English letters (For example, “namaste“ -> “नमस्ते“.) - Native keyboard mode - Type directly in native script. - Handwriting mode (currently available for Hindi only) - Write directly on your phone screen. - Hinglish mode - If you choose “Hindi” as an input language, the English keyboard will suggest both English and Hinglish terms. How can I enable it and set it as the default keyboard? - On Android 5.x and newer versions: Open Settings -> Language & Input, under “KEYBOARD & INPUT METHODS” section, go to Current Keyboard -> Choose Keyboards -> Check “Google Indic Keyboard” -> back to “Language & input” -> Current Keyboard -> Select “English & Indic Languages (Google Indic Keyboard)”When typing in an input box, you can also change the default input method by clicking the keyboard icon on the bottom right corner of the screen. - On Android 4.x: Open Settings -> Language & Input, under “KEYBOARD & INPUT METHODS” section, check Google Indic Keyboard, then click Default and select “Google Indic Keyboard” in the “Choose input method” dialog. When typing in an input box, you can also change the default input method by selecting “Choose input method” in the Notification area.

Is there a version of Google Indic Keyboard for older Android phones?

The current version needs Android 5.0 or later. Version 3.2.6.193126728-arm64-v8a is the newest listed build that installs on Android 4.2 and later.

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.
