Flower Extensions TextInput widget on Android 4.2

[jjjesus]

My keyboard (Samsung Galaxy S4, Android 4.2+) does not pop-up when I want to enter text into the widget.

I am running the build from flower-extensions.

I can see the "FocusIn!" callback is getting fired, but, because no keyboard, I can't enter anything into the TextInput.

Can you help me?

[jjjesus]

I added the print lines to widget.lua and it looks like they show that MOAIKeyboard is nil?

function TextInput:onFocusIn(e)
    TextInput.__super.onFocusIn(self, e)

    if MOAIKeyboard then
        MOAIKeyboard.setListener(MOAIKeyboard.EVENT_INPUT, self._onKeyboardInput)
        MOAIKeyboard.setListener(MOAIKeyboard.EVENT_RETURN, self._onKeyboardReturn)
        if MOAIKeyboard.setText then
            MOAIKeyboard.setText(self:getText())
        end
        print("Calling MOAIKeyboard.showKeyboard()")
        MOAIKeyboard.showKeyboard(self:getText())
    else
        print("No keyboard")
        InputMgr:addEventListener(Event.KEY_DOWN, self.onKeyDown, self)
        InputMgr:addEventListener(Event.KEY_UP, self.onKeyUp, self)
    end
end

MOAIKeyboard seems to be an object on the Windows host. On Android, I had to use MOAIKeyboardAndroid and particularly the showKeybaord, setText, and getText methods. And be aware that if you use the keyboard extensively while there is other lau/C++/java traffic, you can expect your app to terminate abnormally. The AKU call in the Android host needs to be synchronized. Once I did that, my app no longer crashes with keyboard activity.

First, I get a MOAIKeyboardAndroid. There is not it?

local MOAIKeyboard = MOAIKeyboardAndroid or MOAIKeyboardIOS

I will work with my Nexus7. However, there is a bug in the Android host.

It is necessary to synchronize the MoaiKeyboard.

I guess I had a pretty old hash from the moai-dev repo and it did not even have the MOAIKeyboardAndroid class in it.

However, the latest moai-dev repo does not build for Android. Even the STABLE branch does not build for Android. It makes me really start to hate MOAI.

Do you know of a stable build of moai-dev for Android that includes the MOAIKeyboardAndroid in it?

I found the same thing when I started (root would not build). So I dropped back to Version-1.4p0 as my build and it's been working as well as it's coded.

If you want to try in the latest build, please refer to the following repository. Android also will work.

There is a big flaw Android host. I am creating a host of fast and stable.

[makotok]

I have created almost Android host. Operation of the keyboard would also stable at high speed.

However, it does not improve the way the build. I would recreate it with the Rake.
