Hide Device Keyboard - question

[NJDude]

I've noticed that if you use the new 'HideKeyboard' on a TEXT box you have to press entrer twice to hide it, but, if the edit box is DECIMAL_NUMBERS 1 enter will hide the keyboard, I have the Force done (on the designer) set to true.

Is that a normal behavior or is an Android bug <?> or B4A?

How are you calling HideKeyboard?

 

[NJDude]

I have:

Sub Globals
      
       Dim p As Phone
.
.
.

Then:

Sub AmountBox_EnterPressed

      p.HideKeyboard(Activity)

End Sub

If you set ForceDone to true then the keyboard should hide automatically. You do not need to call HideKeyboard.

I've tried various combinations but I can't reproduce the need to press Enter twice. Care to post a small project that displays it on your device and I'll try it on my devices?

I think this is related to "word prediction" and "spell correction", disabling these features makes things work as expected.

Thanks guys.

How is this accomplished on an inputdialog where the input is INPUT_TYPE_TEXT?

I'm sorry but I do not understand your question ??

 

[Smee]

sorry i did not explain properly I am using the following code

Dim dlgPassword As InputDialog

dlgPassword.Input = dlgPassword.INPUT_TYPE_TEXT    
dlgPassword.PasswordMode = True
ans = dlgPassword.Show("Enter your password below.", "Password", "Ok", "","",Null)
Passwordinput = dlgPassword.Input

when the password has been entered the keyboard stays on screen. How do i hide it without using "ph.HideKeyboard(Activity)"

I don't think that it is possible. This issue was discussed in the Dialogs library thread.
