public class Keyboard

extends Window

a popup keyboard to be used with the Edit and MultiEdit class.

Yehuda Miron added Hebrew support to this class. To use it, you need to have hebrew support for your palm in the normal way (Piloc from palmgear, or buy it from kalanit distributer).

Superwaba uses the normal hebrew in the palm, you don't need any special fonts for using hebrew in the Superwaba. if you write an application in superwaba and need the hebrew keyboard there is a global variable you need to set at the start of your application (once only !)

Keyboard.setLanguage(Keyboard.LANG_HEBREW);

and the popup keyboard will start with hebrew and english characters. the normal ascii codes for hebrew are used in superwaba (not hacking is needed).

Setting hebrew string in superwaba is done in the normal way: String s1 = "ωμεν";

Note that you can also extend this multi-language feature to other languages. To do it, just create one more constant for the language and change the setAuxKeys to change letters you want.
