Numeric keyboard on iPad

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Hi all,

in my app I have a input text field with this option: object.inputType = “number”. On iPhone this is perfect because appears a keyboard that allows to write only numeric characters. But on iPad the numeric keyboard is different, because in addition to the numbers there are some other characters such as , . ; () etc. Is there a way to avoid that the user writes characters which are not numbers? 

Ultimately i want that the user is able to insert just numeric characters.

Could I use the object.inputType = “phone”?

Thanks all

Hi Davide,

If the “phone” keypad gives you numbers and nothing else, go ahead and use it. Alternatively, you could allow the user to enter things like , . ; ( ), but then, when the field is submitted, search for and remove those characters from the string.

Best regards,

Brent
