Android Question TextEdit and Keyboard setup

[jpvniekerk]

I needed a TextEdit to behave as follows:

Multiline
Wrap text
Capitalize each sentence
Show "enter" button to allow new line in the TextEdit

After struggling a lot with this combination, I finally got it working. My biggest problem was that it always wanted to force the "Done" button, which I don't want - I need the "Enter" button.

This did the trick:

Sub Activity_Resume
    txtEditBox.InputType = Bit.Or(txtEditBox.INPUT_TYPE_TEXT,  147457)
End Sub

It took a lot of playing around to get to the right code (147457).

Is there a reference somewhere that gives the codes for all the different options?

If we convert 147457d to hex we get 0x00024001 --> the meaning for each bit/flag set in this value is (According to https://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/InputType.html )

0x00020000 = TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_MULTI_LINE
0x00004000 = TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_SENTENCES
0x00000001 = INPUT_TYPE_TEXT

@JordiCP Thanks!!! That reference will come in handy in the future!
