detect 'DONE' KEY from SCREEN KEYBOARD

[Cor]

I want to detect the 'DONE' key from the onscreen keyboard

want to execute a sub when done

I cannot find the keycode for it, or isn't this possible?

The problem is that the EditText consumes this key press. I will check how it can be implemented.

is it possible to force numeric 'phone' keyboard?

now when entering editText it shows the keyboard

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
@ # $ %....

I'd like to set the keyboard
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
* 0 _

set inputtype in designer as numbers

 

[diego]

Input Type is already set to Numbers, but I need to show the numeric keyboard with the phone appearence (or any numeric keyboard), not the numbers one after each other.

You will have to make your own layout for this

Googling I found that there is a way to do this, but Erel should add this value to EditText InputType's:

INPUT_TYPE_PHONE

InputType | Android Developers


Another way that works:

someedittex.InputType=3

 

[Erel]

Will be added.

thank you Erel.

In the meanwhile, I'm trying to set this value to every EditText view in my 'testapp', but I'm doing something wrong, it doesn't change with this code:

   For i = 0 To Activity.NumberOfViews - 1
         If activity.GetView(i) Is EditText Then
      Dim myfield  As EditText
      myfield=activity.GetView(i)
      myfield.InputType = 3
         End If
   Next
               ToastMessageShow(i, False)

all views are in a layout loaded to a tabHost, could it be the problem?
ToastMessageShow line returns '1' when there are about 20 edittexts...

 

[Erel]

Activity.GetView returns activity direct child views.
If you are using TabHost.AddTab2 and you are adding a panel then you can iterate over the panel's child views.

Did you ever resolve this question? If so, can you tell me how this is done? Also, I would like to know how to detect the NEXT key, if possible.

 

[Erel]

You can detect the 'Done' button by handling the EditText_EnterPressed event. You can also force the virtual keyboard to show the Done button by setting EditText.ForceDone = True.

You cannot catch the Next key for now.
