Welcome to Android Central
I was almost sure it was enabled out of the box on any Samsung device but if it's not you can activate it by going to settings > my device > scroll down to language and input > select the Swype keyboard
You can also download apps like SwiftKey or the Google Keyboard if you don't like the Samsung keyboard or Swype

Hmm, ok. I don't have a Tab 2 but it's an option on most Samsung devices I've used
Here's the link to the Google Keyboard:https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...ndroid.inputmethod.latin&hl=en&token=omiSPLzg
You can download either of one of those and try them out, once you open them it should give the option to set as a default keyboard

Do what uj said, however tap Samsung keyboard and scroll through the settings till you find swipe, then enable it. How this helps!

Guys,
this is solved now. Keyboard and language input > samsung keyboard settings > move predective text as "ON" (iff in off state) > tap on the same option (predictive text ON) > enable CONTINUOUS INPUT

now start messaging on fly with swype strokes.

@ tachydavid - thanks man, i followed your approach. when you mentioned to scroll over and find it. i decided to go option by option trying out all possibilites within an option.

so in my device and of samsung tab2 10.1 swype is called " CONTINUOUS INPUT" under predective text in ON mode.

To be honest, Samsung keyboard was the worst space consuming, small key keyboard. But glad it works for you.
