I have a newTextField and touch it and the keyboard shows.
But the keyboard covers my content including my textField.
Is there a way to know how much of the screen is taken by the keyboard?
Or some nice way to fix this issue?
i once faced this … the solution was to get the keyboard height so that you can move your textbox above it … but i couldn’t find find a code that does that … so in all of my apps i place the text box in the upper half of the screen always … or i just add a text control to show whatever is being typed
See https://coronalabs.com/blog/2014/11/18/tutorial-moving-native-textfieldtextbox-objects/. Beware that you may run into problems if you apply the change mentioned in the comment from Rob Miracle posted on November 23. Rob calls this an experimental feature and I have been unable to find more information. A few months ago the feature worked quite well but it there is a problem with the display “measurements” in the latest releases I noticed on Samsung tablets (S4&A7).
