Hello, I developed an application that implements a password input feature, in which the user should be able to temporarily display the password. I defined the input fields in a rectangle whose visibility I can control. I added a TPasswordEditButton to the TEdit field (on Android, I use a TEditButton and implement the MouseUp and MouseDown event processing). This approach works, but I was wondering if it was possible to achieve a similar result with TDialogServiceASync. On Windows, the construction of the dialog elements is done in TDialogBuilder.InputQuery in FMX.DialogHelper. I modified this function to add a TPasswordEditButton component to the Edit field when the input is identified as a password. It works very well. If I understand correctly, in Android, the dialog construction isn't done in this function but in FMXDialogHelpers.java. I'm not an Android Java expert, but I have a feeling there might be a way to modify this function to use a TextInputEditText field, which seems to have a feature to show/hide the password. However, I'm not sure how feasible this modification would be. Do you have any ideas on this?

I have set a TEdit field with Password=true, and I have added a TPasswordEditButton as an element to the TEdit field. The TPasswordEditButton works as expected: when I click on the right side of the TEdit field the password is displayed in clear text. However, the TPasswordEditButton is not visible on the screen. Normally I should see a symbol on the right of the field. I have tried to set a text in the TPasswordEditButton, but it is not visible either. I can achieve the desired result by using a TEditButton element instead of TPasswordEditButton, and handling the MouseDown and MouseUp events, but is there something special to do to get the TPasswordEditButton displayed inside the TEdit field? I use Delphi 12 Update 1, and my test platform is Galaxy S24 running Android 14.

Yes, it works fine on Windows. I hadn't paid attention but in the form editor the eye button is not displayed when style is Android, and when changing style to windows it is displayed correctly.
