Please note that without the above steps, the keyboard will not show and by design(android feature), the keyboard will not get listed in application. Please do not rate
the application in ignorance, I would suggest to read the instructions and enable it correctly and after doing due diligence and rate it. A bad rating out of ignorance may
prevent others genuine users to take advantage. BTW, the above set of steps are applicable for any android keyboard and that's how android allows to plugin other keyboard.
Also I would like to impress upon the fact that Android by default has no support for Punjabi fonts and this keyboard doesn't provide any magic to enable non-cooperating
application to start supporting Punjabi fonts. This keyboard helps cooperating application (like Gurbani Searcher) to type in Punjabi fonts. I would like to re stress that
the participating application should provide support for Punjabi fonts for this keyboard to work in harmony with it.
The keyboard supports following types of keyboards.
Punjabi Keyboard, Gurmukhi Keyboard, Gurbani Keyboard, Gingerbread keyboard, Hindi Keyboard.
