Japanese text

[nisino]

Hello. I’m a beginner of Defold.
I think Input Method is buggy on iOS and Android.
On Android tablet, characters are printed twice with one touch.
On iPhone, I can not touch all the hiragana., then I can not convert Hiragana to Kanji.
I’m using ttf font which can output Japanese.
I’m sorry for my poor English.

function init(self)
	msg.post(".", "acquire_input_focus")
end
function on_input(self, action_id, action)
	local txt = gui.get_text(gui.get_node("textNode"))
	if action_id == hash("markedTextAction") then
		gui.set_text(gui.get_node("textNode"), txt .. action.text)
		-- gui.set_text(gui.get_node("textNode"), action.text)
		pprint(action)
	elseif action_id == hash("textAction") then
		gui.set_text(gui.get_node("textNode"), txt .. action.text)
		pprint(action)
	elseif action_id == hash("touchAction") then
		gui.show_keyboard(gui.KEYBOARD_TYPE_DEFAULT, true)
	end
end

Android

iPhone

You shouldn’t concatenate the markedTextAction to the text node. It should only temporarily be displayed while selecting which multi key symbol to use. Once you get a textAction you should remove whatever you built up from markedTextAction.

Also note that for better input handling on Android make sure you have set the input_method to HiddenInputField under the Android category in the game.project file.

Thank you.
HiddenInputField is OK.
I misunderstood MARKED_TEXT. On Android, I solved the problem.
Understanding this code was very helpful( https://github.com/andsve/dirtylarry/blob/master/dirtylarry/dirtylarry.lua#L176 ).
However, On iOS, I can’t solve the problem.
The keyboard In Defold is no predictive conversion of kanji.I can’t customize the keyboard.
I can’t use it as a Japanese App. Using a closed game engine is hard work for Japanese people.

Oh, ok, this is unfortunate. What do you mean by “I can’t customize the keyboard”? Maybe @sven has some input as well?

[nisino]

For example, on iPhone, writing one character in the input field of safari’s google.

Predictive conversions is displayed.
However, The keyboard in defold is blank.

I would like to modify it.
