TextField doesn't disappear after going to another scene.

As the title said, textfield doesn’t disappear automatically after composer.gotoScene(“test”). I tried using composer.removeScene to remove current scene before going to another scene but it still the same.

Thanks for incoming advice :slight_smile:

You have to remove native objects manually, Composer won’t do this for you.

[lua]

display.remove(myTextField)

myTextField = nil

[/lua]

Thank you for your advice :smiley:

Note : All native objects must be removed ‘manually’.

Also the ‘spinner widget’ ( http://docs.coronalabs.com/api/library/widget/newSpinner.html ) needs to be removed manually.

Hi @yosu,

The spinner widget ( not  to be confused with the native activity indicator) shouldn’t require manual removal. Do you have a block of code which shows otherwise? If so, it may be a bug… after all, the spinner widget is just a basic display object/group, so it can be added to a Composer scene just like anything else.
