Up until Android 8.0 / Oreo (haven't got chance to test this issue under 9.0 / Pie) there is no Polish layout for physical USB keyboard and writing Polish national letter (i.e. using Right Alt key) is not possible in Android with physical keyboard connected through USB and micro USB OTG cable.

Is there anything I can do to resolve this problem? Some option for installing missing layouts?

Supporting, OT and philosophic question: Is this some kind of political isolation of my country by Google / Android developers or an ostracism? I have carefully checked that there are keyboard layouts for each and every neighboring country that surrounds Poland -- i.e. German, Czech, Slovak, Ukrainian, Latvian, Lithuanian and Russian. But there is no for Poland.

EDIT: This question is about Motorola Moto Z2 Play, which has an unmodified, stock version of Android 8.0 Oreo and such version doesn't have "Polish" physical keyboard layout. This question does not deal with devices provided by any other manufacturer, with modified Android, where "Polish" physical keyboard layout can be available.

  • I think we don't understand each other. How could you set your keyboard "to Polish and Ukrainian layouts", if I clearly said that there is no Polish keyboard layout in Android 8.0 Oreo? Please, provide more details.

  • The question is, if you are running a stock Android or if your device has modified system? This question is about Motorola Moto Z2 Play, which has an unmodified, stock version of Android 8.0 Oreo and such version doesn't have "Polish" physical keyboard layout. If you have a device by any other manufacturer, with modified Android then things can be a way different. I had a Samsung J5 once and it had "Polish" physical layout even in Android 7.0.

Try installing my application Extra Physical Keyboard Layouts. It adds multiple physical keyboard layouts, including Polish (Programmers). No extra permission needed. No screen of its own either. It just adds layouts next to the already existing ones. You can find them under system settings. Please let me know how it worked.

  • Hello Darie. I suppose you forgot to disclose [your affiliation] that you are the developer of this app. I have made the edit to reflect that.
