I’m using the native.setKeyboardFocus() and I’m looking to get the text from a textfield as it is being typed. I can only find reference to three event types:
began - keyboard has appeared
ended - user stops editing field (they touch a different field)
submitted - “return” key is pressed
Is there something like an “onChange” event for the textfield or a “tap” event for the keyboard? [import]uid: 39611 topic_id: 15789 reply_id: 315789[/import]
Yes there is. But it looks like we haven’t/forgotten to document it. There is a phase called “editing”.
These forum posts have some info on it.

Thanks a bunch!! That’s exactly what I was looking for.
(I hope that gets added to the native.newTextField() reference page.) [import]uid: 39611 topic_id: 15789 reply_id: 58645[/import]
