Hi,

I’ve been experiencing weird behavior with TextInputVPlay:

I placed a TextInputVPlay item inside a Rectangle with a MouseArea, when the MouseArea is clicked, the method openSoftwareInputPanel() is called (to have a wider area for the user to click to open the input).

I have tested it on Android devices, and everything is working fine, the software keyboard opens when the text box is pressed and when the user presses the enter button on the software keyboard, it closes again. When the user presses on the MouseArea again, the input opens again.

But when the user presses the “back” button on the Android device instead of the enter button on the software keyboard, the keyboard also closes, but then it can’t be opened again by clicking on either the text or my MouseArea.

Here’s my code:

 

                Rectangle {
                    color: "white"
                    anchors.fill: parent
                    anchors.leftMargin: 100

                    TextInputVPlay {
                        id: textInput
                        anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter
                        font.pixelSize: 20
                        anchors.centerIn: parent
                        color: "black"
                        text: newGameName
                    }

                    MouseArea {
                        anchors.fill: parent

                        onClicked: {
                            textInput.openSoftwareInputPanel()
                        }
                    }
                }

I have tested this on three different Android devices and the behavior is always the same (Android 2.3.3 and 4.1). Unfortunately i can’t test on iOS right now but those devices don’t have a built-in back button so this shouldn’t be a problem.

Might this be a bug in the TextInputVPlay class?

Hi Chrisu,

thank you for the demonstration and for pointing out the problem. We will investigate the behavior. For the moment until we fixed it you can use a textInput.closeSoftwareInputPanel() before you call the textInput.openSoftwareInputPanel(). Another hint: it would be better to use the TextInputItem instead the TextInputVPlay when you use a own MouseArea, so the internal functions won’t interference.

Cheers,

David

Hi again,

the problem is solved and will be available with the next daily build!
