Hi, I want to explain you my multiple problems with keyboards on Apache Flex 13.0 & AIR 14.0 version.
We make an AIR application with apache Flex, we are targeting Android, iOS and Windows (not RT but windows PRO with touch-screen). There are multiple cases: 1) softKeyBoard does not resize the view if you are using "direct" render mode on both iOS and android with 'Pan' mode(depends of the skin used): https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-34517 => we would like to use "direct" mode for performance 2) SoftKeyBoard does not appears on Windows 8 PRO and Windows 8.1 PRO (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-34542 ) => Today, we have to launch manually the file 'tapTip.exe' on Windows only to show a keyBoard, but this is not native, not clear, and the screen is not resizing 3) Cursor is not showed on iOS when not showing the native keyBoard (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33679) => It is impossible for the user to select something on the textInput in this case 4) Events are not fired correctly on TextInput on iOS (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-34178) => we can't migrate with stageTextInputSkin and choose the mode to show it (numeric, phone ...) 5) preventDefault() is not working on iOS and Android, the keayboard appears (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-34179) => same that for the 4) I know all these bugs are mine, but I'm surprised that nobody else encountered the same problems. We want to use Flex for our project, and Direct mode for performance, but when you read all above, you realize that it's difficult tu use correctly spark TextInput on multiple platforms -- View this message in context: http://apache-flex-users.2333346.n4.nabble.com/Working-with-softKeyBoard-is-not-compatible-with-all-platform-targeting-by-air-tp8087.html Sent from the Apache Flex Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
