Numpad

[companioncube]

Hi, I just bought the Android exporter yesterday and tried to get the "numpad" keyboard to show. But I can't figure it out, were can I find it?

I don't think Android has one. That's the problem you are having. Some Android devices might have one, but I don't think all of them do. By the way, welcome to the forums! I would advise that you go here to register your products on the forums, which will let you access the Owner's lounges for any Clickteam-made products that you register there.

I think we need to create an option on what keyboard to show
Standard or numbers only

You cant do this yet.... but now I wonder if you can send an intent and do if

Ok, so doesn't all the android devices have calculator? Because that's the "numpad" i'm talking about I have downloaded an app from the PlayStore which uses this keyboard, so i'll guess it must be possible to make an extension for this. Thankyou for welcoming me, my products are now registered.

I like when you say, can't do the YET... hoping this will be implimented soon

I hope so also -- You can count on me to continue to bring this up in Clickteam meetings
It is one of the features you could do in Eclipse that would be really handy in MMF/Android.

I think the number pad in the calculator app, etc is just part of those individual apps - it's not an actual Android "keyboard". However you can download actual Android "keyboards" that are numpads. It would be pretty easy to just make your own dynamic, flexible number keypad in MMF though.

I know in Eclipse you can pick an edit box that only accepts numbers.
Then on your device when the keyboard opens it shows the number pad keyboard and not the full keyboard.

I think that is what we are talking about or that's what I am talking about.

I see what you are saying. I did not realize that the numpad-only keyboard pops up, so what I said before is incorrect - The numpad must actually be an Android keyboard that you should be able to call with an intent.
