hello
I’m in trouble with native text input ( native.newTextField function ).
I’m not able to retrieve text from objects
let’s say the object is:
local usernameTextField = native.newTextField(5,5,90,20, onTextField )
when using usernameTextField.text calling some other function the value is nil.
consider that it happens also when trying with device (iPhone 3Gs with iOS 4.3)
someone can help me? [import]uid: 11400 topic_id: 4567 reply_id: 304567[/import]
I’ve solved by myself, that’s where I was wrong:
as far as I understand native.newTextField cannot be used into a display object
reading documentation at http://developer.anscamobile.com/content/native-ui-features
it is specified that
“Because native textfields are not part of the OpenGL canvas, they do not obey the Corona display object hierarchy”
so I have removed my text input fields from a display tree and now everything is working fine [import]uid: 11400 topic_id: 4567 reply_id: 14585[/import]
Glad you fixed it. Thanks for reporting your solution. [import]uid: 11393 topic_id: 4567 reply_id: 14599[/import]
