Introduction
In this article we will learn how to make and display QWERTY Keyboard layout with buttons functionality in Android/Java inside android studio.
Our Example
In our example we have at the bottom of screen keyboard qwerty layout build using button inside linear layout. Typed text will be written on text view at the top. Caps, Delete and Space functionality is also added.
Steps
Follow below steps
1) Create QWERTY layout in xml layout file
2) Code QWERTY Keyboard functionality
3) Run and test your application
1) Create QWERTY layout in xml layout file
Inside activity_main.xml we will create qwerty layout using Linear Layout. Below is xml code.

On App Start we have initialized keyboard buttons from layout file using initKeyboardButton() method.
private void initKeyboardButton() {
a=(Button) findViewById(R.id.A);
b=(Button) findViewById(R.id.B);
c=(Button) findViewById(R.id.C);
d=(Button) findViewById(R.id.D);
e=(Button) findViewById(R.id.E);
f=(Button) findViewById(R.id.F);
g=(Button) findViewById(R.id.G);
h=(Button) findViewById(R.id.H);
i=(Button) findViewById(R.id.I);
j=(Button) findViewById(R.id.J);
k=(Button) findViewById(R.id.K);
l=(Button) findViewById(R.id.L);
m=(Button) findViewById(R.id.M);
n=(Button) findViewById(R.id.N);
o=(Button) findViewById(R.id.O);
p=(Button) findViewById(R.id.P);
q=(Button) findViewById(R.id.Q);
r=(Button) findViewById(R.id.R);
s=(Button) findViewById(R.id.S);
t=(Button) findViewById(R.id.T);
u=(Button) findViewById(R.id.U);
v=(Button) findViewById(R.id.V);
w=(Button) findViewById(R.id.W);
x=(Button) findViewById(R.id.X);
y=(Button) findViewById(R.id.Y);
z=(Button) findViewById(R.id.Z);
CAPS =(Button) findViewById(R.id.CAPS);
}onClickButton() method will be called whenever keyboard buttons are clicked. Ontype() method will be called for letters, which will then check for caps lock and write letter to text view. Similarly on Space button click will call Onspace() method which will add space. On DEL button click will call onDelete() method which will remove last letter if present in textview. On CAP button click will call changeCaps() method which will change caps of the letters on keyboard layout.
public void onClickButton(View view) {
switch (view.getId()){
case R.id.SPACE:
onSpace();
break;
case R.id.CAPS:
changeCaps();
break;
case R.id.DEL:
onDelete();
break;
case R.id.A:
onType("A");
break;
case R.id.B:
onType("B");
break;
case R.id.C:
onType("C");
break;
case R.id.D:
onType("D");
break;
case R.id.E:
onType("E");
break;
case R.id.F:
onType("F");
break;
case R.id.G:
onType("G");
break;
case R.id.H:
onType("H");
break;
case R.id.I:
onType("I");
break;
case R.id.J:

break;
case R.id.K:

break;
case R.id.L:
onType("L");
break;
case R.id.M:
onType("M");
break;
case R.id.N:
onType("N");
break;
case R.id.O:
onType("O");
break;
case R.id.P:
onType("P");
break;
case R.id.Q:
onType("Q");
break;
case R.id.R:
onType("R");
break;
case R.id.S:
onType("S");
break;
case R.id.T:
onType("T");
break;
case R.id.U:
onType("U");
break;
case R.id.V:
onType("V");
break;
case R.id.W:
onType("W");
break;
case R.id.X:
onType("X");
break;
case R.id.Y:
onType("Y");
break;
case R.id.Z:
onType("Z");
break;
}
}
private void onType(String character){
String text = textContainer.getText().toString();
if(caps){
character=character.toUpperCase();
}
else{
character=character.toLowerCase();
}
textContainer.setText(text + character);
}
private void onSpace(){
String text = textContainer.getText().toString();
textContainer.setText(text + " ");
}
private void onDelete(){
String text=textContainer.getText().toString();
if(text.length()>0){
textContainer.setText(removeLastChar(text));
}

private void changeCaps(){
