I have two screens in my app. On the first screen there is a number. When you click on a button, you are taken to a second screen, where a text field pops up and you are given a native number keypad. Because there is no return key on the keypad, I also have a submit button on the second screen, to take you to the first screen.
I want it so that when a number is entered in the text field, that value is taken back to the first screen and added to the number on the first screen.
Currently when I click the submit button, the number on the first screen doesn’t change, and if I try to go back to the second screen, the app crashes.
here is the code for my second screen:
module(..., package.seeall)
new = function ( params )
local ui = require ( "ui" )
local localGroup = display.newGroup()
local addCashField
local function addCashHandler(event)
if ( "submitted" == event.phase ) or ( "ended" == event.phase) then
\_G.totalCash = addCashField.text
native.setKeyboardFocus( nil )
end
end
addCashField = native.newTextField( 50, 150, 220, 36, addCashHandler)
addCashField.inputType = "number"
localGroup:insert(addCashField)
local submit = function ( event )
if event.phase == "release" then
director:changeScene( "mainScreen", "downFlip" )
\_G.totalCash = addCashField.text
totalCashText.text = "$"..\_G.totalCash
native.setKeyboardFocus( nil )
end
end
local submitButton = ui.newButton {
default = "submitButton.png",
over = "submitButton.png",
onEvent = submit,
id = "submitButton"
}
submitButton.x = 75
submitButton.y = 50
localGroup:insert(submitButton)
return localGroup
end Thanks in advance
