  1. Hi, I discovered on my test smartphone (samsung) that I can change the display mode of the virtual keyboard: Put it in a "floating keyboard" mode. This solves the problem since you can move the keyboard so that it no longer covers the input field. 3 questions arise: 1. Does this possibility exist on all Android smartphones and/or on all versions of the Android OS? 2. Question 1 for iOS smartphones 3. Is it possible to force this "floating keypad" mode via programming? Thank you for your feedback

    Manual handling of virtual keyboard

    Is there a way to stop the automatic pop up / pop down of the android virtual keyboard? (So I can do it manually when I want it.) The application has a tMemo which provides information to the user. As there is not much room on a small android, it requires scrolling up and down at times. At these times the bloody keyboard comes up and gets right in the way!
  3. So I have this application, that runs smoothly on a standard PC, and does quite well on a tablet too. With one exception, the virtual keyboard causes quite the headache. Not only does Windows seem to have two different virtual keyboards, they behave quite differently too: First there is the keyboard that has to be actively opened by the user by clicking on the symbol in the tray area. This works fine, but has the disadvantage of "an additional click". (Image 1) Then there is a keyboard (image 2) that can be opened automatically when FMX.Types.VKAutoShowMode := TVKAutoShowMode.Always; is set. According to the fine manual this will cause the virtual keyboard to show even if there is a physical keyboard present. So as soon as the focus is set on an editable component like TEdit, this keyboard will popup and as soon as said component looses focus the keyboard will disappear. Now here's the tricky part: This keyboard looks different, and on some machines (HP tablets with an i5) takes ages (at least 30 seconds) to "pop up". On my VM that I'm running on a Mac with an i7, this happens instantly. Any user who knows iOS will consider option 1 to be "out of the question" so I use option 2, but for the life of me am not able to speed up the virtual keyboard popup process. This might just become a deal breaker, hence this post. TL;DR: Does anyone here have experience with virtual keyboards on Windows tablets, and knows how to open them up quickly on slower systems? Thanks, Sherlock
