how to remove border of native-ui textinput(textbox) in android ?

bharat_prajapati

or is there any way to open keyboard without clicking on textbox so i can put my textbox outside of the screen and call keyboad manually and copy content on textbox in my place.

basically all i want is a way to hide the textbox

thanks in advance

@bharat_prajapati then why would you need textbox at all?
Does simply listening to Key Down events and checking which letter was input is not enough?

bharat_prajapati

Yes enough but how can i open keyboard without textbox?

ar2rsawseen

Ah, yes sorry, I was too tired yesterday to think of that

So if you are using Android native UI, then most probably you are using GBridge.

So you can add method in GBridge.java:

public static void toggleKeyboard(){ InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)sActivity.get().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); if(imm != null) imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT, InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY); }

And then use it in in lua like this:

local bridge = native.getClass("com.giderosmobile.android.plugins.bridge.GBridge") bridge.toggleKeyboard()

Unfortunately I don't know much about ios on this side

Hi @ar2rsawseen

I am also stucked here with same problem i dont want to show textbox as it is not looking good. so basically i had created textbox with height and width of 1 px so it is hardly visible. and then manually calling toggleKeyboard() and with gettext i am taking textbox's data in my target area. now the problem is because of the keyboard i have to take some part up with stage:setY(-100) and now i am stucked as i can not get when keyboard is closed. is there any event with which i can know keyboard has been closed or done button in the keyboard has been pressed

Thanks

editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edit_text);   editText.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() { <a href="http://forum.gideros.rocks/profile/Override" rel="nofollow">@Override</a> public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) { if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) { // do your stuff here } return false; } });

Ok i never used Gbridge plugin before, but in native android you can define and listener on EditText and listen for "IME_ACTION_DONE" event.

I don't know how to implement this code Gbidge.java need to try

I also dont know how to handle this in Gbridge @ar2sawseen is only hope

ar2rsawseen

Hmm, honestly I don't know from the first look
I helped @unlying to create a game with functioning soft keyboard through GBridge
and that was basically all I gave him, the rest he did himself somehow

Would need to experiment if it raised any focus events or maybe dispatches specific key event?
