native.newTextBox not displaying in the correct location on iOS devices.

#1

Hey,

native.newTextBox doesn’t appear to be displaying in the correct location on my iOS devices (iPad 3 and 3GS).

In the attached jpeg the white box should be in the middle of the screen (sorry for the red marker, I had some inappropriate text that I added out of frustration :slight_smile: ).  And the size is wrong as well, should be the same as the yellow boxes.

[lua]

        self.beforeGameTextBox = native.newTextBox( 0,0, self.yellowbox.Width - 10,self.yellowbox.Height - 10 )

        self.beforeGameTextBox.x,self.beforeGameTextBox.y=display.contentCenterX,display.contentCenterY

        self.beforeGameTextBox.font = native.newFont( “Helvetica-Light”, 18 )

        self.beforeGameTextBox.isEditable = true

        self.beforeGameTextBox.id = “beforeGameText”

        self.beforeGameTextBox:addEventListener( “userInput”, self )

[/lua]

Thanks,

Craig

Hi Craig,

Is there any kind of display group shifting or scaling going on here, or scaling of the yellow box, or something like that?

Hi Brent,

I have put together a simple test case (nothing but textBox) and the same thing happens.  I was using Robs config.lua but the same thing happens with a standard config.lua

main.lua

[lua]

local function userInput( event )

    print(“in input listener”)

    local target =  event.target.id

    if event.phase == “began” then

        print(“textbox began”, event.target.id)

        

    elseif event.phase == “ended” then

        print(“it has stopped editing”)

        local fieldUpdate, valueUpdate

    elseif event.phase == “editing” then

        print(“textbox editing”, event.target.id)

    end

end

local boxHeight,boxWidth = 300, 700

local beforeTextRect = display.newRoundedRect(0,0,boxWidth, boxHeight,15)

beforeTextRect.isHitTestable = true

beforeTextRect.x = display.contentCenterX

beforeTextRect.y =display.contentCenterY

beforeTextRect.strokeWidth = 5

beforeTextRect:setFillColor( 1, 1, 0 )

beforeTextRect:setStrokeColor( 1, 0, 0 )

local beforeGameTextBox = native.newTextBox( 0,0, boxWidth,boxHeight)

beforeGameTextBox.x,beforeGameTextBox.y=display.contentCenterX,display.contentCenterY

beforeGameTextBox.font = native.newFont( “Helvetica-Light”, 18 )

beforeGameTextBox.isEditable = true

beforeGameTextBox.id = “beforeGameText”

beforeGameTextBox:addEventListener( “userInput”, userInput )

[/lua]

config.lua

[lua]

application =

{

    content =

    {

        width = 800,

        height = 1200,

        scale = “letterBox”

    },

}

[/lua]

Thanks,

Craig
