Questions about gui.show_keyboard (SOLVED)

Hi, Everyone~

I have a question using gui.show_keyboard(). The keyboard looks the same as the four keyboard_types(DEFAULT, EMAIL, NUMBER_PAD, PASSWORD).

This is my code.

function on_input(self, action_id, action)
	if action_id == hash("touch") and action.released then
		if gui.pick_node(node_default_btn, action.x, action.y) then
			print("pressed DEFAULT button")
			gui.reset_keyboard()
			gui.show_keyboard(gui.KEYBOARD_TYPE_DEFAULT, true)

		elseif gui.pick_node(node_email_btn, action.x, action.y) then
			print("pressed EMAIL button")
			gui.reset_keyboard()
			gui.show_keyboard(gui.KEYBOARD_TYPE_EMAIL, true)

		elseif gui.pick_node(node_number_pad_btn, action.x, action.y) then
			print("pressed NUMBER_PAD button")
			gui.reset_keyboard()
			gui.show_keyboard(gui.KEYBOARD_TYPE_NUMBER_PAD, true)

		elseif gui.pick_node(node_password_btn, action.x, action.y) then
			print("pressed PASSWORD button")
			gui.reset_keyboard()
			gui.show_keyboard(gui.KEYBOARD_TYPE_PASSWORD, true)

		end
	end
end

This is the keyboard that is shown when I press the four buttons.

Does KEYBOARD_TYPE look the same on Android? (I tested with GALAXY ALPHA, GALAXY S3, GALAXY S8 and huawei Y6, and all of the keyboards were default built-in keyboards.)

That is surprising. They should all be different. Could there be a difference when in landscape mode as opposed to portrait?

#3

Yes. It looks same results.:sob:

#4

Can you please share the test app (source preferred) so I can run it on a couple of devices as well?

#5

Of course! How do I share my project?

#6

If it’s a project on the Dashboard you can add me (bjorn.ritzl@king.com) as a team member. Otherwise you can perhaps just zip it and e-mail or if you have it on GitHub just share the link.

I added you to the dashboard. Could you check it out?

#8

Thanks. Will check tomorrow.

Sorry for the delay. I was about to check now but I noticed that you haven’t synced your project (it’s the one named keyboard_test right?). There are no script files. It looks like the blank template project.

Oh sorry… I did not synchronized… Would you check it again?

Sure, I’m getting the same thing. BUT if you change Android Input Method in game.project from Key Event to Hidden Input Field it works. I’ll make a note to change new projects to have Hidden Input Field set as default.
