How to create a custom Keyboard?

Android had deprecated the Keyboard and Keyboard view classes in API 29.

How can I make a custom keyboard without these classes?

All the tutorials and examples I found online use them.

thanks!

Keyboard, according to the deprecation message, is just a UI widget class.

This class was deprecated in API level 29. This class is deprecated because this is just a convenient UI widget class that application developers can re-implement on top of existing public APIs. If you have already depended on this class, consider copying the implementation from AOSP into your project or re-implementing a similar widget by yourselves

If you want to follow the tutorials that use it, just copy the class from the google source into your project and use it locally. Otherwise, you can customise it by creating it from scratch and giving the widget the look and feel that you want.
