Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hi ,
I want to fetch the keys that user tap on device while he was typing from device keypad , to insert text in textbox.

Note : i have fetched the English lang. keys successfully ,
but it gets nil when i use the same with marathi

#2

Just clarify, are you talking about the on-screen keyboard that mobile devices show when typing in native.newTextFields() or are you talking about the “key” event for reading from a physical keyboard that desktops and game controllers would use?

Hi Rob ,
thanks for response.
I want to test & work on it in both scenarios.
1-on Screen Keyboard
2-Physical keyboard.

#4

What version of Corona SDK are you using?

What platforms are you running Corona SDK on and building for?

As for the key events, we don’t have a way to map the keyboard to languages other than US keyboards. But we believe the native.newText* API’s should be working.

Hi i am using the 2850,
I want to develop a APK through which while typing a text in Marathi/Hindi/English Lang. the Voice i.e TTS will be played .

So for that purpose on each event.phase=“editing” under native.newTextField i am using the event.text to fetch and play the appropriate voice.

Are you using a Mac or Windows?

Can you put a print statement in your editing phase code to see what characters are being received?
