  • Is there a way to get a soft keyboard on iOS to show ´join´ or ´send´ in the return key of a keyboard?

    I saw that the ReturnKeyType [1] only supports a subset of value possible on iOS [2].
    Basically the supported return key types are "done", "go", "next", "search" and "default" which corresponds to "enter" on iOS
    while iOS also supports "Google", "Join", "Route", "Send", "Yahoo" and "Emergency Call".
    Two of the iOS types "Join" and "Send" I would find quite useful in places I'm currenlty using the "go" return key type
    Is there anyway to get the soft keyboard to show this labels on iOS?
    Alternatively it would be great if "join" and "send" are added as Air ReturnKeyType's (e.g. they could default to "go" on other devices)
    Thanks

  • I purchased a wireless keyboard for my iPad a week ago and now the keypad doesn't pop up when I want to type anything.

    I purchased a wireless keyboard for my iPad a week ago and now the keypad doesn't pop up when I want to type anything.

    Have you tried to go into bluetooth and telling it to forget your keyboard?
    Drastic but might enable you to repair the devices and see if it clears up the glitch.
    I had a period of time when my iPad always sensed and used my bluetooth keyboard. I think it finally went away after I powered down the iPad. (not just a put to sleep, a bonafide 'slide the red slider to shut it down' powering down.

  • I have bought the wireless keyboard for my iPad.  I was working for a day but now the power light won't stay on and as such won't connect to the iPad.  I have changed the batteries but still no difference.

    I have bought the wireless keyboard for my iPad.  I was working for a day but now the power light won't stay on and as such won't connect to the iPad.  I have changed the batteries but still no difference.

    Not knowing which wireless keyboard you bought, it is difficult to be specific.  but ...
    it is quite normal for the keyboard's power light not to stay on - it is a way of conserving battery power.
    Try this:
    turn you keyboard off
    on your iPad go to Settings > Bluetooth
    if your keyboard is listed under Devices, then touch the little blue i to its right and choose Forget this Device
    now reset your iPad:  hold both the Home and Power buttons down for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears, let go promptly when the Apple logo appears and wait another 30 seconds for your iPad to turn itself on
    After your iPad is back on again go back to Settings > Bluetooth
    now turn your keyboard back on and see if it appeard under Now Discoverable
         if it doesn't read your keyboard guide to figure out how to put it into Discovery mode
    touch the listing for your keyboard under Now Discoverable, it should now appear under Devices
    touch the listing for you keyboard under Devices, and choose to pair with it.

  • Android, StageText and the soft keyboard

    How to keep the soft keyboard opened? I have a simple text form (1 text field as StageText, 1 button and a scrolling area, similar to sms chat application).
    Click on the button or on the scrolling area causes a focus lost in StageText instance and the soft keybord closing (it causes app resize and other problems).
    I tried various variants with assignFocus() function, using events SOFT_KEYBOARD_DEACTIVATE, FOCUS_OUT, MOUSE_DOWN.
    Also, I tried to call assignFocus() with pause and several times during some period, I tried to move focus to other field and so on...
    It was working partially if I created enterFrame event with assignFocus(), but it makes soft keyboard buttons to work very slow and soft keyboard closes when I remove enterFrame event.
    This problem is for Android only, iOS version works just fine with MOUSE_DOWN -> assignFocus().
    I'm using Flash CS 5.5 and CS 6, AIR 3.2 and AIR 3.3 beta and HTC Sensation with Android 2.3.5 for tests.
    Also, I found that SoftKeyboardType.PUNCTUATION is not working with Android soft keyboard.

    There are definitely some bugs with Android/textfields/softkeyboard.... there's an already existing bug I'm trying to get people to vote for in regards to textfields on Android. Hopefully once (if ever) they fix this bug, other bugs related to it will go away as well.

    I had this problem.  I held down the power switch to power down completely.  Takes a few seconds.  Then use the power switch to turn on.  Might take a couple goes.

    I cannot find the Kindle reader app for iPad and when I click on the link from Amazon there is an error on iTunes

    Are you in the US?  Not all apps are available in all countries.  There is no way to download anything from a website, like Kindle.  If it's not in your App Store, you won't be able to have it.

    If I back up pictures from the camera roll on my iPad to iCloud and then delete the pictures off my iPad will the next back up to iCloud erase those picutres from iCloud? or will all pictures remain in iCloud?

    They will be erased.  The backup only includes the data (and photos) on the iPad at the time of the backup.  To keep your photos permanently, import them to your computer as explained here before deleting them: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

  • Communicate with the soft keyboard on iPad

    Hi guys, I'm using Air 2.7 CPU mode... I've got some code that calls a contact form within a movieclip to the stage on my iPad app... works really nicely and I've also got a button on screen that then removes the contact form from the stage.
    Unforunately if you're in the middle of typing in a field and press the close form button, the ipad soft keyboard stays on screen and so does the text that's been typed.
    I'm wondering if I can communicate with the ipad keyboard to make it go down. I'm hoping I can somehow communicate via actionscript with the small button in the right hand corner of the ipad keyboard which makes the keyboard leave the screen.
    Thanks, Mike

    Does anyone know if you can target the second keyboard screenon the ipad?
    For instance, I was playing around with a Maths learning game, where the user would input numbers only into
    an input box.
    When they click on the input field it would be great if it went straight to the keyboard numbers tab, to make it seamless.
    Thanks,
    Matt
