Purpose / Description
When a field has a configured
imeHintLocales, the IME may override it mid-session after learning from typed characters (e.g., switching from Arabic to English).As a result, the keyboard no longer respects the configured hint for that field.
This PR ensures that the configured
imeHintLocalescontinues to be respected while typing.Fixes
Approach
A
TextWatcherwas added to the type-answerEditTextinsetupTypeAnswer().Inside
afterTextChanged,InputMethodManager.restartInput()is invoked.This reinitializes the input connection and causes the IME to re-read the configured
imeHintLocaleson text change.In testing, this prevents the IME from persisting the overridden language mid-session.
