RAD 10.4 Android KeyboardType NumbersAndPunctuation not working

[Bert-Jan 1]

It seems keyboardType.NumbersAndPunctuation defaults to DecimalNumberPad with Android (compiled in 10.4).

 

Does anyone have the same experience or am I overlooking something?

The FMX Java code has:

    NUMBER_AND_PUNCTUATION(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER | InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_SIGNED | InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_DECIMAL),

    NUMBER_DECIMAL(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER | InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_DECIMAL | InputType.TYPE_NUMBER_FLAG_SIGNED);

So they are the same (just or'd in a different order). I doubt whether there's an exact equivalent to iOS, on Android.

Yes I was also missing that too, and even would like to customize the keyboard.

Seems that this ends up in a lot of fumble jumble.

Not even checked for the iOS side.

 

I hope that Embarcadero will work their fingers to the bone one day

Thank you. They used to be different.

I seem to have more issues with the keyboard type. Now with iOS. iOS only seems to work properly if I use the default Keyboard type.

Embarcadero will address this in a future update.

Sorry for responding to an old post, but I wonder if the issue I notice is related.

Put on a form 3 TEdits

Give them different Keyboardtypes.

tap in an Tedit, the correct keyboard is shown.

Don't use the returnkey, but tap in the next Tedit.

On Android, this works okay, the correct keyboardlayout is shown.

On iOS, the keyboardtype from the first edit remains visible.

 

Is this an iOS issue or a Firemonkey issue?

Thanks,

John

Any news about @John van de Waeter post? I tested it today with Delphi 10.4.1, BigSur OS and iOS 14. Same problem. 

[Mateus Vicente 3]

@John van de Waeter the solution for your problem is add unit FMX.VirtualKeyboard.iOS.pas to the project and comment out two lines near the bottom of the file, on "function TCocoaVirtualKeyboardService.HideVirtualKeyboard: Boolean;":

 

  //if FTransient then    // <- comment out this
  //  Exit(False);        // <- and this
