Hello all,
Using the latest Corona SDK public build, I’m trying to create a new text field (numeric) and I can’t submit the input (and so, cannot close the virtual keyboard). No “return” button is present.
Issue only present on iOS.
Note that on Android, a submit button is present, that submits and closes the virtual keyboard.
Screenshot attached.
Thank you,
Radu
Hi. I’d suggest making a small testbench showing the problem with these files:
Zip the project up, then you can submit a bug here: https://developer.coronalabs.com/content/bug-submission, and submit the code as an attachment.
I’d also share a link to the code here so we can look and see if something is missing or incorrect.
Cheers,
Ed
PS - I see you said the latest public build. I suggest using the latest DAILY build instead: 2015.2702
It turns out that Apple doesn’t include a “Done” button on the number keyboard for iPhone devices. It’s there for iPad but not iPhone. If you do a google search you will find a number of sites discussing this.
You can add your own Done and Cancel buttons for numeric keyboards when you detect it’s running on an iPhone device. Calling native.setKeyboardFocus( nil ) will clear the keyboard. You can also clear the keyboard when the user touches an area outside the text field by adding a touch listener.
I wouldn’t consider this a bug but a new feature request since there is a work-around using Lua code.
Hi Ed and Tom,
Thank you both for your replies.
Indeed, it seems there is a different component for “Done and Cancel” on iOS.
Although creating the custom buttons wouldn’t seem right without having a reference to the keyboard’s position.
Regards,
Radu
