newTextField and newText not synced during editing

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I’ve got a newText object that is being used for input of a form while the actual newTextField is offscreen

I’m using a listeners to sync the two text values which I assume is how most people are doing forms with native fields if they want them to scroll.

Works fine in the simulator, just not on the iPad

Problem I’m having is that my fake textbox is one character behind the actual textbox

So if I type “Hello World”

Actual textbox shows “Hello World” while the fake text box shows “Hello Worl”

Functions

local function focusRealfield(e)     target = e.target     if e.phase == 'ended' then         --move the screen up         transition.to(wrapper,{ time=150, alpha=1, x=0, y= -342 })         native.setKeyboardFocus(target.realfield)     end   end local function updateFaker(e)     target = e.target        if e.phase == "editing" then         target.fakefield.text = e.text     elseif (e.phase == "submitted" or e.phase == 'ended') then         --move screen back down         if (wrapper.y == -342) then             transition.to(wrapper,{ time=150, alpha=1, x=0, y=0 })         end     end end

Listeners

fnameFieldBg:addEventListener('touch', focusRealfield) nameField:addEventListener('userInput', updateFaker)

Any help troubleshooting this would be appreciated. I’m not sure.

Try e.target.text instead of e.text

tried that as well, still no change.

For the sake of time I added this:

local function nameSync()     fnameField.text = nameField.text end         Runtime:addEventListener('enterFrame',nameSync)

That seems to be working now.
