Native Input Text

[Simon]

Hi Youks,
I usually just use a hidden button (vis false) and set the focus to that when I want to get rid of the keyboard and cursor. Just have the focus with keyboard and show focus border selected.
Watch-out for keyboardDeactivated, a "soft keyboard down" wont activate the message.

Hi Simon,

I've tried your trick with buttons,field,graphics etc... I could not get the focus to move out of a native input text !!
i managed to play with the tranversalOn property, it works that way but triggers unnecessarily the keyboard.

i'm using LC 6.7.1 (latest) C.E. and testing on Note 4 .

It could be cool to check if your trick still works on the version i'm using.

Thx for your input.

Hi Youks,
Start a new stack and put this into the card script

Code: Select all

local sinputId

on opencard
   if environment() = "mobile" then
      mobileControlCreate "input"
      put the result into sinputID
      mobileControlSet sinputID, "rect", "38,113,361,156"
      mobileControlSet sinputID, "visible", "true"
      mobileControlSet sinputID, "opaque", "true"
   end if
end opencard

on closeCard
   mobileControlDelete sinputId
end closeCard

on mouseUp
   focus on btn 1
end mouseUp

on errorDialog pExecutionError, pParseError
answer "An error occurred on line: " & item 2 of line 1 of pExecutionError & cr & pExecutionError
end errorDialog

Add a button (that can be focused) on the card and run on the device.

Yes?
No?

Hi Simon,

This doesn't work unfortunately!!!!!!!

[Simon]

hmmm...
Maybe it has to do with the device (or I misunderstood everything).

nativeFocus.zip

Try that, it is working here.

I tried that one and unfortunately no joy !!!!!!!

I've reported it as a bug and will investigate more tomorrow on another device. i'm not sure if it is only LC issue or Kitkat or Android SDK version.....a bit confused at this stage. For my app i am working for the time being with LC fields until UFN.

Thx for the help.
