  • b
    OK, with that knowledge would it be more feasible to setup a repro?
  • i
    I'll try to do the same thing in repro, 2 mins
  • b
    thanks 🙂
  • b
    wow, thanks a lot)
  • a
    How do I request for the keyboard to open on android? I'm trying to get some input on a mobile game
  • b
    there isnt anything specific in haxeui - though im not opposed to adding it - there is a "Platform" class that might benefit from that... what backend are you using? There might be something in the framework you are using
  • a
    I'm using haxeFlixel if that's what you're asking (sorry if I that's not it lol)
  • b
    yeah, thats what i was asking 🙂 Im not expert in flixel, but is there a way outside of haxeui to open the keyboard?
  • b
    maybe lime / openfl have some method?
  • a
    I don't know, I'll look more into it I guess
  • b
  • b
    its from a loooong time ago
  • i
    Copy code
    hx
var sprite = new openfl.display.Sprite();
sprite.needsSoftKeyboard = true;
sprite.requestSoftKeyboard();
    I don't remember Flixel having a direct way to trigger the software keyboard, but since 
    FlxGame
    (the actual flixel game) is an OpenFL 
    Sprite
    , it shouldn't be too hard to add in
  • b
    i think (just from reading, not testing) that it has to be an "InteractiveObject"...
  • b
    this looks like it might be of help: https://github.com/HaxeFlixel/flixel-ui/issues/70
  • i
    that would make sense
  • b
  • b
    This is so hackish I might just marry it.
    😄
  • i
    doesn't haxeui-flixel's textfield use openFL textfield?
  • b
    ... i was just thinking the exact same thing - @acoustic-electrician-44730 have you tried with a haxeui textfield? Does it not pop up the keyboard?
  • a
    I didn't ||to be fair I don't know what that is ||
  • b
    are you using haxeui?
  • a
    no..
  • a
    I saw someone ask about android keyboard here when I searched for messages but that was over 1 year ago
  • b
    oh... ... 😅 haxeui based solutions are probably not going to help you much then 😉 You might be better off asking in the #165234904815239168 room - you'll likely get much more expertise there. One thing i have seen, but no idea if it will work (non-haxeui) is: 
    openfl.Lib.current.requestSoftKeyboard()
  • a
    Let me try that
  • i
    ok, haven't been able to quite narrow down the behaviour of this crash, but it seems to happen AFTER closing my dialogue for the second time... but not in the repro
  • i
    ok I can't get a crash again on the repro, but it's definitely something to do with cameras somewhere along the line
  • i
    going to dig in a bit
  • i
    seemingly found a different(?) bug in the process: sidebar isn't showing a vbox with some buttons in it
