Android Question IME Issue

[MrKim]

Correct:

IME.SetCustomFilter(ValueTxt, ValueTxt.INPUT_TYPE_NUMBERS, "1234567890.")

Not Correct (No quotes):

IME.SetCustomFilter(ValueTxt, ValueTxt.INPUT_TYPE_NUMBERS, 1234567890.)

Not Correct does not throw an error but it also doesn't work correctly. It KINDA works.

Took me awhile to sort it out.

SetCustomFilter expects a string. The compiler automatically converts numbers to strings:

Label1.Text = 10 * 10

So it will happily convert the number you wrote to a string as well.

btw
have b4a a compiler directive to disable automatically conversion?

You know, as I recall the problem I had was the decimal didn't work-the decimal gets dropped in the conversion to a string - seems like a compiler error would be better here.

No. It is part of the B4X language.
