Defold TextInput

Hi everyone,
If you are not very statisfied with built-in Defold text input method, this extension can help you as it uses a real native text field to handle the text you input, so you can type whatever text you want in your language, no mater marked text, no delay or missing characters issue as well.

There are 2 types of text input field, normal and hidden. The hidden field is surely what you are expecting, I think.

Check it out: Defold TextInput (github.com)

Demo: defold-textinput (baochungit.github.io)

Hope it helps! Cheers!

It now supports for HTML5 (web platform). However on mobile, some browsers require users to interact with the input element to be able to show the keyboard. In this case, using a normal text input might be the best option.

Hi guys, it’s now able to show virtual keyboard for hidden inputs on mobile browsers but it still requires a touch (interaction) onto the input delegation.
