/**
* Provides classes and interfaces for the input method framework. This package
* enables text editing components to receive text input through input methods.
* Input methods are software components that let the user enter text in ways
* other than simple typing on a keyboard. They are commonly used to enter
* Japanese, Chinese, or Korean - languages using thousands of different
* characters - on keyboards with far fewer keys. However, the framework also
* supports input methods for other languages and the use of entirely different
* input mechanisms, such as handwriting or speech recognition.
