Overriding AOSP keyboard

Question

Error:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "com.android.inputmethod.latin.CarIME" on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/data/app/~~6CnZ_EwlgHaoEjQXjHx4lA==/com.android.inputmethod.latin-gLDFp7uEfMCiBHMTjxVdHA==/base.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/data/app/~~6CnZ_EwlgHaoEjQXjHx4lA==/com.android.inputmethod.latin-gLDFp7uEfMCiBHMTjxVdHA==/lib/x86_64, /system/lib64, /system_ext/lib64]]

Manifest:

Android.bp file

android_app { name: "CustomKeyboard",

certificate: "platform", privileged: true, platform_apis: true,

manifest: "AndroidManifest.xml",

srcs: ["java/**/*.java"],

resource_dirs: ["res"],

overrides: ["LatinIME"],

 libs: [
        "android.car",      
    ],

aaptflags: ["--auto-add-overlay", "--extra-packages",
"com.google.android.material", "--extra-packages",
"androidx.appcompat", "--extra-packages", "androidx.constraintlayout",
"--extra-packages", "androidx.navigation", ],

static_libs: [ "androidx.appcompat_appcompat",
"com.google.android.material_material",
"androidx-constraintlayout_constraintlayout",
"androidx.navigation_navigation-ui",

 aapt_include_all_resources: true, optimize: { enabled: false,
//proguard_flags_files: ["proguard.flags"], },

dex_preopt: {
        enabled: true, },

product_variables: {
        pdk: {
            enabled: false,
        },
     }, }

I am trying to override packages/apps/Car/LatinIME/CarLatinIME in the vendor folder and create a custom Keyboard application. I am able to build apk however while running the app custom keyboard crashes. However, I am getting above error. What could be wrong?

You should always post code in text and not in image, so that it is easier for others to experiment with — gtxtreme

Seems like there's no class com.android.inputmethod.latin.CarIME, the closest I could find in the AOSP source code is com.android.inputmethod.latin.LatinIME and you can find the class here

Probably correcting this in the manifest file will help you proceed with a successful build

<service android:name="com.android.inputmethod.latin.LatinIME"> // Notice the name here
   // Other code
</service>
