Advanced Input Field

I'll look into it. I don't have my test iPad with me this week, so I'll check it next week.

 

I modified the Android binding to only apply the Xiaomi fix if the device is in fullscreen mode. That Xiaomi fix doesn't seem to be necessary in non-fullscreen mode. This solves that flashy behaviour when the keyboard appears with your settings.

This should fix it: Replace the NativeKeyboard.aar file in Assets/Plugins/Android with the one in attached rar file.

 

Are you planning a new release with that fix and the fix for Androind when using Unity 2019.1 ?

 

I got this error today ( From Logs )
it is totally random, and happened only once, but thought to share it

I could reproduce it when pressing the hide key while the keyboard is still transitioning to become completely visible. In that pending show state there wasn't any check for a keyboard cancel, so I've added it now.

This should fix it:
Replace the NativeKeyboard.a file in Assets/Plugins/iOS with the one in attached zip file.

 

This fix was tested in Unity 2019.1 on a Android device.
Latest release (1.8.3) has a package tested and submitted using Unity 2019.1, so it should work.
In case it doesn't work:
I didn't change any code to get it working in 2019.1, for some reason in that Unity version the NativeKeyboard.aar file didn't get included in the build sometimes. You would see errors about missing classes in the Android device log.
I cleared the Library folder of project and used the "reimport all" option to get it included again.

 

Hi, I am testing a new project and after adding advanced input field, on android, the app crashes as soon as it opens. The Entire scene is empty except for a canvas and an advanced input field (Text Mesh Pro). It works fine in the editor with no warnings or errors.

My current setup:
- Unity v2109.1.5
- DoTween Pro v1.0.155
- Text Mesh Pro v 2.0.1
- Advanced Input Field v1.8.3
- Stripping Disabled

Device:
- Samsung S9+
- Android Pie (9)

Input Field Setup:
- Select on Release
- Move Text
- Action Bar and Selection cursor enabled

What I have tried:
- Added "ADVANCEDINPUTFIELD_TEXTMESHPRO"
- Re-import all

UPDATE:
Crashes on IL2CPP, but works fine when build with mono. Please note that my engine stripping was already disabled in IL2CPP as i saw your post in early may. Your sample scene builds in IL2CPP with TMP inputfield though, not sure why this new project fails.

Update 2:
Recreated the project exactly as before (its just an empty project with an inputfield anyway. hahaha) and now it compiles fine in IL2CPP... wierd...

 

I have tried it last week and no keyboard have been shown on android phones, but on tablets it works

 

it have not worked anyway

 

Is there a way to implement auto suggestion or autosuggestion using this tool, for iOS and Android?

 

OK...It's strange that your build works on Android tablets, but not on Android smartphones.
Could you check the device log of those Android smartphones and see if it prints any error?
What smartphones are you using for testing?

 

Do you mean showing the native suggestion bar above the keyboard? That can be enabled by changing the "ContentType" of the inputField to "Custom" and then change the "InputType" to "Autocorrect".

Or do you want to write some custom code to give suggestions?

 

Not sure if this was the same as your issue, but I fixed a bug related to landscape mode which seem to happen on smartphones, but worked normally on tablets.

See attached rar for updated Android library file.

 

It worked for me.

 

I have noticed several"InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid" several times in our log.
Unfortunatelly, it happened during production, so i does not have specific line number.
I have only stack trace

AdvancedInputFieldPlugin.AdvancedInputField.OnUpdateSelected (UnityEngine.EventSystems.BaseEventData eventData) (at <61bafca6cde34c05ae86d98466188956>:0)

UnityEngine.EventSystems.EventSystem:Update()

It happened on Android. Do you have any idea on cause of that?
I am using latest version + NativeKeyboard Landscape Mode fix.rar

 

It's really weird that it happens in that method:

This is the only cast in that method and it's within an if statement that verifies the type.

Are you using IL2CPP as the scripting backend? Maybe that class gets converted to something that fails the type check. If this is the case it might be a bug in the Unity version you are using.

 

Hi, was wondering if t here was any way to set the press and hold time before the context menu appears as the current delay seems a tad long.

 

Hi I'm building on Android Huawei P20 (soft nav bar at the bottom) and I set fullscreen mode to false on app start up. I'm getting shakey behaviour when the keyboard is opened and closed sometimes it seems to even break all together and hide the navbar when i close the keyboard. I saw that you uploaded a file called 'Non-Fullscreen Mode Fix.rar' earlier. I gave that a go but it didn't seem to make any difference. Is there anything else I can try?

 

This can be changed in TextInputHandler.cs: The const field HOLD_THRESHOLD determines how long you need to hold to show the ActionBar.

 

Seems when you toggle fullscreen off in Unity (instead of setting the flags in Android code), the native FULLSCREEN flag is stil set.
I worked around the issue by checking if the navigation bar was originally active when the keyboard appears and use that to determine to apply the show/hide navigation bar fix for Xiaomi phones.
Can you verify if the attached file works for you?

 

Hi! I encountered a problem with native android keyboard. The keyboard closes right after i tap anywhere outside of keyboard. I want to prevent native keyboard from closing. Does your plugin solve my problem?

 

@jpienbro I am considering AdvancedInputField for use in our application. The platforms currently required are:
- Windows Desktop
- Windows Mixed Realty Portal
- Hololens 1
- (Hololens 2)
- Oculus Go

What's the current state of support for these?

 

Hi, i needed to check it on the enviroment i did a build. Scripting backend is set to Mono actually. It happed only a couple of times. I am not able to throw it intentionally, so i have no idea.
Unity 2019.1.0f2.

 

Yesterday, i have updated to the newest version 1.8.4. I will build it and if it happens again, i will definitelly let you know

 

Depending on your use case you can set the .ShouldBlockDeselect property to true on the AdvancedInputField instance. This blocks deselect calls of the Unity EventSystem for that instance. (It will reselect itself). Although this currently also blocks selecting other inputfields.
Note: When pressing the done/next key on the keyboard (when that property is true) the OnEndEdit event will still be executed, but won't hide the keyboard.
When you're done with that instance you can set that property to false again and call ManualDeselect().

 

Only Windows Desktop (on that list) at the moment is supported.
I might add support for VR headsets in the future, but that's on long term and only the devices that are widely used and requested by multiple users.
At my day time job we do have Oculus Go and Oculus Quest devices, but I haven't tested this plugin on those devices yet. So I don't know if they work immediately with the existing Android code of the plugin.
Unfortunately Hololens is a bit too expensive for me as an individual. Especially if it's only for adding support for this plugin.

 

Ok, thanks for the answer.
Is your plugin easily enough extendable that I could do this?

 

All platforms (except Windows standalone) have a specific class that inherits from the NativeKeyboard base class which contains the methods needed to send data back & forth between Unity and the native binding. There also a SimulatorKeyboard class (that inherits from NativeKeyboard) which shows how to implement this with an Unity UI Canvas. That class is used for mimicing the native Android keyboard from within the Unity Editor.
Other than that you probably would need some pointer class to interact with UI elements within an Unity Canvas. You might already have experience with this if you have worked with VR headsets before.

Anyways, you can ask for a refund within 2 weeks after purchase if I you can't have make it work for your app.

 

Late reply but that worked. Thank you!

 

Hello!Im creating an app for both iOS and android.I have created a login screen with username and password input fields. Is there a way the password input field can support ios password manager?

 

According to the official docs: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/password_autofill/ you will need to setup "App's Associated domains" in Xcode and on your own website/domain server. I don't have a web domain/server myself, so I can't really test this.
It looks like the password fields in the plugin already allow selecting a password from the keychain. Although the user would still need to manually copy and paste the password since it doesn't know which password belongs to the app.

 

Anyone knows how to change the color of the background when the inputfield is not interactable.
Looks like is always grey and we want to change it to match the colors of our app.

Regards.

 

This should show the normal & disabled color property in the inspector:
In Assets/Plugins/Advanced Input Field/Editor replace the AdvancedInputFieldEditor.cs file with the attached file.

 

When i replaced the file, there were some errors related to DrawLineLimitProperty and the limit properties in general, so i reverted back to the old script (fortunately i had a back up file of the .cs) then i just merge the changes i saw related to the interactable property and looks like that make the trick.

Thank you!

 

Oh, that line limit property is a new property for next major release, didn't notice it was already enabled there.
Anyways, glad you could fix it yourself by finding the changes needed.

 

Hi! Is there a way to use animated Emojis with Advanced Input Field?

 

No, not at the moment.
This plugin uses TextMeshPro to render static emojis, but afaik TextMeshPro doesn't have support for rendering animated emojis yet.

 

The keyboardscroller currently requires 1 script on every scroll view, and i also have to enable disable the appropriate keyboard scroller as i change my scroll views.

Maybe a better way might be to make the keyboardscroller get the parent scrollview of an input field, as this would mean only 1 keyboardscroller would be needed in the scene.

Will also need to disable the contentsizefitter component when opening keyboard and reenableing it when closing keyboard it this component is used..

 

I'll note these remarks down for now. I'll look into rewriting or improving the autoscroll in the future, but it doesn't really have a high priority atm. Current implementation requires changing the content size to make sure the scrollview can always scroll (also when the inputfield is completely at the top or bottom of the scrollrect).
You're free to try to implement it in another way. The OnKeyboardHeightChanged event can be used to know when the keyboard appears/disappears and how many pixels it occupies.

 

Hi, sorry to bother you again, is there anyway to enable the selection cursors for standalone platforms?

Also is there any way to change their behaviour in standalone builds to be closer to a traditional input field? For example, currently, for drag mode, we currently have update text selection OR move text. However, in normal applications, if we drag horizontally, it selects text and vertically updates the selection or if no selection is made, it moves the text. Currently in advanced input field, its an either or situation, no way to get both.

Lastly, 1 minor bug regarding the selections cursors is that they are rendered even then they are above or below the visible area of the input-field

Thank you very much for your help!

 

Hello jpienbro,

I have encountered a strange bug that can be seen in the video I am attaching. Please reply as soon as you can. This is the sample app you provided, but since we bought the plugin, we tried implementing it into our own project and same bug occurs.

Video: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1XIQYR8ZXArxb7kVcETelc4uBR7HqUo_c

Thanks,
Jovan.

 

I've responded to your email

 

The selection cursors are mobile only atm. On Standalone platforms they normally aren't necessary, because the user normally uses a mouse on those platforms.

Currently there is no way to do both drag behaviours.
Do you have an example of an application that does it this way? The text editors I currently have installed on my PC all seem to just update the text selection when dragging horizontally or vertically.

 

Good day. Do I need to uninstall the previous version of the library when upgrading?
I have a problem with build on IOS after update:

I just tested the version currently in the AssetStore in a clean Unity project and don't encounter any errors when running or archiving an iOS build, so maybe there are still some old files in your Unity and/or XCode project.

 

Just to note that I am experiencing the same issue, but the scripts did not solve the problem.
Unity 2017.4.29, empty project, just added the plugin and build the "Frame" scene.
NullReferenceException at AdvancedInputFieldPlugin.UWPKeyboard.TryGetPanel()
Trying to debug in visual studio gets me to UWPKeyboard / TryGetPanel / line Window window = Window.Current;
This returns null

 

You probably have the build type set to D3D instead of XAML.
That should fix that line, but will give an exception when trying to create an instance of a class in the native uwp dll for some reason in that Unity version. Probably something Unity or Microsoft has changed :|. This unfortunately has happened multiple times already that previously working code gets broken by an update. UWP tends to be more unstable than other platforms in my experience.
Anyways I haven't found a way to get my dll code working again in that version of Unity. Those slow IL2Cpp build times are not really helping either.

Update: Seems to work in newer version of Unity (Unity 2019), on older versions IL2Cpp crashes on a class that inherits from a system UWP class. Maybe it doesn't get converted properly by IL2Cpp in the older versions of Unity.

 

I'm on holiday until 1 September, so responses might be delayed.

 

Hi @jpienbro ,
sometimes, when we switch scenes, this happens:

Code (CSharp):

1. MissingReferenceException: The object of type 'AdvandcedInputField' has been destroyed but you are still trying to access it.
2. Your script should either check if it is null or you should not destroy the object.

I do not know, which Input does it (we have a couple of them, which are persistent within scenes).
Do you have any idea, what is the cause and how to solve it?

I have found another issue, here is stacktrace. This happens within scene switch, rarely

Hello!

We've just purchased this asset. Everything is working perfectly but the emojis. We tested the 'chat' apk example before buying and it was recognizing and showing the emojis characters (we've bought the asset because of that). Are the emojis working? Do we have to change the font or enable any options?

Thanks in advance.
