Android numeric field not working

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Any idea why a “decimal” text field would not be bringing up the numeric keyboard on android?

Using textField.inputType = “decimal” does not seem to be working.

#2

I’m investigating.

I spoke with Engineering and on Android the “decimal” keyboard type is not supported across all OEM manufacturers. For instance, LG doesn’t implement the flag that creates the decimal point.  I’ve asked that we update the docs to reflect this.

The “phone” type should give you a period to work with.

Engineering also added there is an open bug with Google about numeric and decimal inputMethods are not locale-specific, if that impacts you.
