Activating soft keyboard on iOS

Hi,

I've been searching the web, and just want to see if I can get a definitive answer here. Is it true that if you run an iPad app developed in Air full screen that texfields will no longer activate the soft keyboard. Initial test seem to confirm this. Is there any work around?

Best regards,

Hi Chris,

Probably you've set your displayState to full screen and not the full screen interactive. Please see following for more details.

Looks like you need to use stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE and not stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN;

Please let us know if that sorts it.

-Thanks

Hi Pahup,

Thaanks for your reply. That did the trick. Now I can run full screen and the soft keyboard will appear when I click in a text field. I tried setting the focus to the text field with the hope that this would make everything appear at once (the MovieClip containing the text field and the soft keyboard) but this did not work. Any suggestions? I've seen info that says you can't call the soft keyboard in iOS, but then I saw a lot of posts that said you couldn't use the soft keyboard while running full screen.

Thanks again,

Chris

Would it be possible for you to share a sample code here.
