Re: Does exporting a snapshot from a rect work on mobile?

KeyboardActivated is working. However, getting the effective working screenrect is not producing a result different from the screenrect, meaning it does reveal the available space after the keyboard pops up. Sent from my iPhone > On Sep 1, 2017, at 7:57 AM, Roger Eller via use-livecode >

Re: Does exporting a snapshot from a rect work on mobile?

Well, since the bug report indicates that keyboardActivated/keyboardDeactivated messages were added to Android, if they are not working please report it. If you want to just use a general rule for a 'safe zone', then prompting at the top of the screen should work fine. ~Roger On Fri, Sep 1, 2017

Re: Does exporting a snapshot from a rect work on mobile?

Hi Roger - yup, this problem affects other development environments too. Many have complained about it online. I currently force the input into the top half of the screen. Do you think I should force it even higher? I could just make the input go to the very top when a user enters it. Sent

Re: Does exporting a snapshot from a rect work on mobile?

This appears to be an old problem (2012). I don't know if there was ever a solution. A best practice was to position any input fields in the top third of the screen. I agree with the consensus that it should be handled automatically, but it is not, obviously.

Re: Does exporting a snapshot from a rect work on mobile?

Hi Jacqueline, Sadly, that did not help. It received the KeyboardActivated message, and I had it check the effective working screenrect both at that point and again in a handler set to trigger a second later. They all return results as if the keyboard is not there. This is on a galaxy tab E,

Actually, never mind, that cannot be it. I tried the follow script: on mouseUp create field "test height" select after field "test height" send getEWSR to me in 1 second end mouseUp on getEWSR answer the effective working screenrect delete field "test height" end getEWSR it still

Re: Does exporting a snapshot from a rect work on mobile?

A question for Mark Waddingham... Mark, in my app, in the place in question, the keyboard is activated by a browser widget. Is it possible that this means it is not sending a signal to LC to update the value of the effective working screen rect? Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 31, 2017, at 8:27

Re: Does exporting a snapshot from a rect work on mobile?

Hi Mark, Unfortunately, the screen rect and the effective working screen rect return the exact same results on this Android device - 0,0,800,1280. Do you have any other suggestions for determining the keyboard height on Android? I am willing to pursue my hack, but it is a pretty rough hack.

Hi Mark, I am trying to hack together a way to detect the height of the keyboard on Android. My plan is to have an image 1-pixel wide, but full height of the screen, with an rgb color of 0,0,1. If the snapshot includes the keyboard, then the image data of the snapshot will include a point
