Using native.newTextField so users can enter their name for the highscore list.
Works fine for the Kindle Fire HD, but on the Kindle Fire 1st Gen, the Go button (aka return) on the virtual keyboard doesn’t show.
Just an empty space at the bottom/right.
Anyone had this problem? I’m using Corona 2013.1080
Seems to be a Kindle Fire issue, not related to Corona. So I added an extra Done button in case the Go button doesn’t show up.
I just encountered this very same issue (using daily build 1054.) It works fine on Kindle Fire HD, but on Kindle Fire 1st Gen, there is an issue with properly getting text input via native.newTextField.
All I want is for a user to create a user name by entering a simple text string to native.newTextField. But as rmbsoft noted, it simply doesn’t work. Same is true with a screen where user gets to enter another player’s user name to start a match game.
However, on a screen where I have two newTextField, this issue does not surface. Rather inconsistent and bewildering – and annoying.
It sounds like I need to add a Done button on these screens in Kindle Fire build. Thank you for sharing your solution. I’ll give that a shot.
