I’m building an app in landscape mode, i have a setKeyboardFocus event which is working but always pops the keyboard up in portrait mode, I want to make the keyboard come up in landscape mode always, I have the build.settings file with the settings below but still doesnt make a difference. Is there something I can do to get the keyboard to be landscape? thanks!
settings =
{
orientation =
{
default = “landscape”,
},

iphone =
{
plist=
{
UIHiddenStatusBar=“YES”,
},
},
} [import]uid: 6317 topic_id: 898 reply_id: 300898[/import]

No. Keyboard in Corona is always oriented in portrait mode. You have to create your own keyboard. [import]uid: 5712 topic_id: 898 reply_id: 2076[/import]

how do you create a keyboard? using corona there is no direct access to the iphone sdk correct? [import]uid: 6317 topic_id: 898 reply_id: 2077[/import]

Create the graphics for the keys, places them how you need them, connect touch handler functions to it, etc etc. [import]uid: 5712 topic_id: 898 reply_id: 2078[/import]

Actually, the following code will change the orientation of the keyboard:

settings = {  
 orientation = {  
 default = "landscapeLeft",  
 },  
 iphone = {  
 plist = {  
 UIHiddenStatusBar="YES",  
 },  
 },  
}

The bug in your settings file was that you had ‘landscape’ as the default orientation option. The only valid options are ‘landscapeRight’ and ‘landscapeLeft’.
