For Android, I’ve had to start writing code to switch the inputType from “default” to something else like “email” wherever I use native.newTextField or native.newTextBox:
nameField = native.newTextField( 100, 35, 120, 30 ) nameField.inputType = "default" if device.isAndroid and device.isGoogle then nameField.inputType = "email" end
Why? Because on some older Android devices native.newTextField and native.newTextBox are completely unusable in “default” input mode by the user. With almost every character typed the cursor jumps backwards into the text being typed instead of remaining at the end of the text. It makes it impossible for some of my Android players to sign up for my new game Pirate Bones.
Does any else see this odd behavior?
I’m using the latest build version CoronaSDK-2014.2162 and I see this odd behavior consistently on a Samsung Stratosphere SCH-I405 running 2.2.36 (API Level 10).
