newtextfield.text appears only when user clicks on it

Can you make a complete project for this (main.lua, build.settings, config.lua) and drop it into a .zip file?

Thanks

Rob

There you go. Thanks for having a look :slight_smile:

I ran it on my Google Nexus 9 (Android 7) and it works like you expect it would.  “Username” was in the field when it started and stayed there as I tapped on the field.

I’ll see if I can get some additional testing on this.

Rob

We had someone else test on a couple of Android devices, but both are running more modern OS’s and it’s working as expected.  At that point, perhaps you should go ahead and file a bug report. 

Rob

Thank you for your efforts Rob. Hm, interesting. As I said, on all my three Android devices (even on my Honor 8) the “username” only shows up when I tap on the textfield.

Might I ask you to upload the .apk file that you put on your devices? I’d like to try exactly the same version that you install.

In the meantime I’ll read on how to file a bug report…

Ok, now I’m completely confused. Your version works perfectly.

So, to crosscheck afterwards, I recompiled my version and send it to my phone. Doesnt work, “username” does not appear.

How can this happen? As far as I know, the actual compilation happens on your servers. Why would the server compile my code different from yours (which is exactly the same as mine)?

Any ideas where to look at or what to do? :slight_smile:

What version of Corona are you using?

Rob

Corona Simulator 2017.3135 (2017.9.7)

I’m using 3157.

There have been text field fixes since 3135.

Rob

3.1.59 did the trick :slight_smile:

3135 was the latest public release, thats why I had this version.

So, problem solved, thank you very much Rob :slight_smile:
