datetime keyboard input type for Samsung keyboards doesn't allow for separators

[kcruzat]

With the new date picker, the manual input entry requires a / separator which is not present in the Samsung keyboard that is invoked with the TextInputType.datetime for the InputDatePickerFormField widget.

Flutter version: 1.17.0 Device: Samsung Galaxy S6 - Android 7.0

Well that is unfortunate. Not sure what we can do here.

@justinmc or @LongCatIsLooong do you know if we currently handle device specific behavior anywhere else? Would it be possible to detect this case and revert to showing the full keyboard on only these devices?

There's a flag for Samsung keyboards: https://github.com/flutter/engine/blob/f5a4ea7d8321014269c83eea2f1b33224068f2da/shell/platform/android/io/flutter/plugin/editing/InputConnectionAdaptor.java#L283

Reproducible on the latest master 1.21.0-2.0.pre.83 with an SM G950F with Android 9 (API 28).

Minimal reproducible sample code

``` import 'package:flutter/material.dart'; void main() => runApp(MyApp()); class MyApp extends StatelessWidget { @override Widget build(BuildContext context) { return MaterialApp( title: 'Sample', home: Scaffold( appBar: AppBar( title: Text('Sample'), ), body: Container( child: Center( child: InputDatePickerFormField( firstDate: DateTime.parse("1900-01-01"), lastDate: DateTime.parse("2030-01-01")), ), ), ), ); } } ```

flutter doctor -v

it's better if the flutter team can add format of typing and textfield will match the format that we want to enter i found this library https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_masked_text can tranform text input to specific format in that way the flutter team will not need to make hack for each specific device
