Re: How to dismiss keyboard on mobile

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode]

I found a way!

# Set search string field, the 

on returnKey
   delete char -1 of me
   select after word -1 of me # but this does work on android, cursor goes the 
head of the when hitting return 
end returnKey

# the Search Bottom:

on mouseup
   focus on the mouseControl 
# above key line, which dismissed the keyboard 
# and allows it come up again if the user clicks back in the search string
   put the shortName of me into pTarget
   executeSearch pTarget
end mouseup

# and, just to be sure, executeSearch button.

put (line 1 of tSearchString) into tSearchString

now I never get a CR in search.  keyboard behaves expected! Yay!

Also, Android is NOT the backKey engine when the keyboard is up..

I have this in a lib/back script, will fire any time I used the backKey, but 
not the keyboard is up.

the whole business about check the effective working screenrect.  the handler 
never seen it!

on backkey # need for android
answer "got it" with "ok"
   put the effective working screenrect into tScreen
   if (item 4 of tScreen-item 2 of tScreen) < 650 then
  # assume keyboard if up
  pass backKey
   else 
  if the short name of this stack is "journal" then
 send mouseup to widget "go-back"
  else
 send mouseup to widget "go-home-portal"
  end if
   end if
end backkey

Re: How to dismiss keyboard on mobile

[Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode]

Jacque… that backkey does work… (hehe) my handler 

on backkey # need for android
   put the effective working screenrect into tScreen
   if (item 4 of tScreen-item 2 of tScreen) < 650 then
  # assume keyboard if up
  pass backKey
   else 
  if the short name of this stack is "journal" then
 send mouseup to widget "go-back"
  else
 send mouseup to widget "go-home-portal"
  end if
   end if
end backkey

was perfect.. I just to use to hitting the key.

what does work in: 

on returnInField
   focus on nothing
   send "backKey" to me in 100 milliseconds
end returninfield

a) Android still allows me to put a CR.. this breaks the search
b) Send backkey from message path does nothing.

So, now I need to:

a) NOT have to CR be entered in the field and
b) have a way to prevent hitting the search button but with keyboard up,

Hmm seems like a bug to me.

Re: How to dismiss keyboard on mobile

[J. Landman Gay via use-livecode]

Just to clarify: Your sample handler specifically removed focus, so I'm 
assuming the engine doesn't do that. It sounds like inputReturnKey is the 
mobile equivalent of the standard returnInField message, but for native fields.


But the ambiguous part is the dictionary reference to "the return key is 
pressed and focus is removed" which either means the engine removes the 
focus, or the message is really the equivalent of returnKey, which only 
fires when no field has focus.

Re: How to dismiss keyboard on mobile

I'd forgotten about this too. The description says:

"Handle the inputReturnKey message if you want to make changes to the 
interface or perform an action when the return key is pressed and focus is 
removed from an iosTextInput, androidTextInput or androidMultiline control."


This is ambiguous. Does it mean "the return key is pressed and no field 
currently has focus"? If so, how does it differ from the returnKey message? 
Or does returnKey not work with native fields?

You could also try:

on returnInField

focus on nothing

end returnInField


in the field script. That seems to do the trick on desktop at least, whereas on 
returnKey does not when it is placed in the field script.

These are engine messages, not commands. They are sent when the user 
does something, and it's up to the script to do what is required. It's 
the same as "mouseUp" -- it doesn't do anything, it simply informs you 
that the mouse was clicked.


You could try this instead:

on returnKey
  focus on nothing
end returnKey

That's probably better than my other suggestion.

It goes into the field where the selections are made. When the user is 
done selecting text, the focus is removed and the keyboard should go 
away. But it's a little sensitive and may not be what you want. Also, I 
didn't actually try it on mobile, so this is still theoretical. It works 
on desktop.

You can't put that into your other radio buttons on the Search UI panel.

You can't put it into the search button (you want the next take makes choices 
before search)

It goes to: create a "Done" control, like in iOS, for the keyboard.

how to get the bottom coordinate of the area above keyboard?  That where we 
want that control

OR

 is they way to use to this? in group script?

There's a down side, the keyboard will pop up and down more often than 
you may want. It's not a perfect solution but in some cases it might do.

Well, all good, but still, IMHO, a hack

go the 

https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=20456

Maybe should make a separate report.

Really… putting this  in the field should dismiss the keyboard 

on returnKey
   closeField
   exitField  
end returnKey

They enter text, hit return, keyboard  goes away. 

It is not that simple?

Re: How to dismiss keyboard on mobile

[Bob Sneidar via use-livecode]

It's not something you would put in a field. Focus on nothing is something you 
send to lose focus on any object that currently has the focuw. 

For instance, you have a field which calls a validation function upon 
closeField. You have a button that saves the information in the field 
somewhere. At least on MacOS, clicking the button does NOT cause the field to 
lose focus, because on MacOS a button cannot HAVE the focus. Hence your 
validation script will never trigger, and you might save bad data. 

So in the mouseUp handler of the button, the first line could be focus on 
nothing. This will trigger the closeField message of the field and execute your 
validation script.

# on android I get a carriage return in the field on hitting returnkey

maybe it has to do with what Jacqueline said "

"These are just messages that the engine sends when the focus changes,
they don't control the field themselves. As mentioned, "focus on
nothing" is the command that does the actual work."

But I would rather they don't have to click another control, other than the 
return key while inside the field itself

BR



That is what I do whenever I need a closeField or exitField to trigger on a 
currently entered field before running off and doing things. focus on nothing 
is what you want.

These are just messages that the engine sends when the focus changes, 
they don't control the field themselves. As mentioned, "focus on

Focus on nothing or send backKey to the engine on Android.

Subject: How to dismiss keyboard on mobile

On mobile

I have a UI (for searching audio)

where:

1) user make a text selection (search box)
2) need to dismiss the keyboard (having made the text selection, which
remains)
3) so she can choose some other radio buttons: like "Title" or "Sub-title"
or "Genre"  (this is a audio/music search UI)

How to get rid of the keyboard? And let the user can keep going in the UI
while field keeps the data, until "submit" or clicks "search"

On iOS is see a control for keyboard search where word "Done" appears
above/right of the keyboard. You click it, the keyboard disappears

Can we hack that UI in Livecode? There must be some way to make the keyboard
disappear -- without triggering any other action.

Putting this in the field does not help.

on returnKey
   closeField
   exitField
end returnKey

# does nothing: one would expect the field to lose focus/keyboard goes away.

focus on nothing

does the trick.

I wonder if simply setting the "editable" property of the field, in code, would 
close the keyboard.

Yes peruising the dictionary in the little cool app made by someone in Asia… LC 
dictionary.. and looking through all the mobileControlCreate input options and 
saw that focus was the key.

And this app has a nice keyboard with the word "DONE" in blue, in the place 
where the return key is (at least in iOS)  I looked all through the dictionary 
and online lessons… can't find how to invoke that one.. though not mission 
critical, would be nice.  That's probably the mobileCreateControl Input.. with

Works fine on desktop

But on mobile the keyboard remains "stuck" and I have no way to dismiss it.
How do you give the user the option to be "done" with text entry

I have "select empty" in mouseup of the search behavior.  I thought this 
would get the cursor out of the field and cause the keyboard to go away and 
the mouseup Handler would proceed… but not go… I don't think the touch 
event even gets through as long as the cursor is still in the field and the
