Here is a card script I'm currently using that seems to work in an
iOS/Android app I have now:
on preOpenCard
inputCreateTsm
end preOpenCard
on inputCreateTSM
put the rect of graphic "tsmRectangle" into tThisRect
# do some math to visually accommodate a roundedRect with innerShadow
add 15 to item 1 of tThisRect
subtract 10 from item 3 of tThisRect
mobileControlCreate "input", "TSMinput"
mobileControlSet "TSMinput", "rect", tThisRect
mobileControlSet "TSMinput", "text", line 1 of gCurrentPrefs
mobileControlSet "TSMinput", "keyboardType", "number"
mobileControlSet "TSMinput", "fontSize", 21
mobileControlSet "TSMinput", "fontName", "Roboto Light" -- iOS only
mobileControlSet "TSMinput", "textAlign", "center"
mobileControlSet "TSMinput", "visible", true
# make sure the field has focus, which activates the keyboard
mobileControlDo "TSMinput", "focus"
end inputCreateTSM
on closeCard
# delete the native text input
mobileControlDelete "TSMinput"
end closeCard

Subject: Android Keyboard Activation Issue
Message-ID:

List,
I have developed a cross platform mobile app for iOS and Android using
LiveCode and it is working OK, but I continue to get a common complaint from
Android users that when they select a field the keyboard does not activate
like on other apps.
This is not an issue on iOS because a when you create the Native Text Box,
you can send the command mobileControlDo <id> "focus" and the keyboard is
activated with a single touch to the text entry field.
Android doesn't support this capability so the users needs to touch the
field to activate the Native Text Box and then touch it again to bring up
the keyboard.
Has anyone found a way to bring up the virtual keyboard when the Native Text
Box has been created????
Thanks for your advice.
Dan
