Have anyone made software keyboard on moai?

[ibisum]

Well I guess I'm implementing MOAIKeyboardAndroid ..

[kaykim]

Wow, sounds great! I cannot wait!

Could you share your update, and when would it be done(estimation)?

@ibisum: awesome! Drop me a line if I can be of any assistance.

I'm part-way through implementing it, and if I can set it up to do a pull request in the next days, I'll contribute it back ..

[kaykim]

Thank you!

I was wondering if you let us know when you may be able to share it.

Its done (as of yesterday) and I'm now faced with the task of how to get it submitted for inclusion in moai-dev .. will take me a few days to sort it out (I have been developing moai-beta-1.0, not -dev) but I will definitely submit a pull request as soon as it is ready. I took the approach described above - the MOAIAndroid code has now a MOAIAndroidKeyboard class, and the main MOAI Activity has a 'fake hidden' TextEdit field with a TextWatcher prompting key inputs .. this actually works pretty good, and I'm impressed with how functional it is to use with the moaigui framework, for example.

Anyway, I will try to get the pull request submitted in the next day or so.

Sound great!

I appreciate your effort!

There's no MAOIKeyboardPC, is there?

[andrew.lundell]

A MOAIKeyboardAndroid would be a really useful feature. For anything but the most trivial text input I would really prefer to let users use whatever keyboard they've got configured, and not some clumsy keyboard I've coded myself.

[ibisum]

I have done the MOAIKeyboardAndroid work and will shortly submit a pull request, once I catch up with the 1.2 repo ..

[kaykim]

Wow! Great! Thank you sooooo much!

dose the MOAIKeyboardAndroid has been implemented?

Thanks

I have noticed a lot of fragmentation happening.

MOAIKeyboardIOS and MOAIKeyboardAndroid - there are a few other examples. I know there are differences that can't be reconciled between the devices but when they are available this would make sense - ie native keyboard access being a prime example!

In an ideal world there should be MOAIKeyboard which implements the native versions of IOS or Android by identifying the platform!

If you are happy to convert, there is a virtual keyboard created by Mathz at https://github.com/mathz/InputKeyboard and it also caters to multiple languages too.
