TextMesh Pro Hide Mobile Input... does not work

Any timescale on this fix being available in 2018.3? Got two apps waiting on this issue and would rather not port to newer versions of Unity due to plugins...

 

Anything on the horizon?

 

Hello, I've also got this problem. The hide mobile input doesn't work in Android, I've check it but the input field above the virtual keyboard still appears.

 

Hi, another folk here waiting for the patch on this, keep the good work, we hope it will be out soon

 

Is any news about fix for Android?

 

It's great to hear that. I'm also working on a project with version 2018.3, and currently waiting for this fix.

 

I'm in the same boat Hope approval comes soon!

 

Same here! This bug is especially annoying in VR as well. The mobile Input field appears as a green box in the lower field of view. Theres no way to turn it off right now. The fix should definitely be ported to 2018.4 LTS (Long Term Support)!
Can you please provide us information on when this will be approved/released?

 

We are also waiting for this.

 

Thanks for letting us know, looking forward to it.

 

Was this feature finally accomplished?

 

I can hide the mobile input on Android using 'Hide Mobile Input', but then the back button stops working... The app becomes non-responsive and I need to type something on the keyboard again for the app start working again.

(The back button works fine when the 'Hide Mobile Input' is off)

Unity version 2019.4.5
on Google Pixel 2

 

When I use "hide mobile input", it works on some android phones and on at least one of them, the keyboard doesn't show up. I'm using Unity 2020.1..8f1. It doesn't work on OPPO RENO 4 LITE CPH2125 with Android 11. I have no idea what could be a problem, and if it's the only phone on which this doesn't work (I guess not). If i disable hide input, the keyboard shows up correctly.

 

With Unity 2020.1.15f/TMP 3.0.3 the input field is hidden, but when you click in the place where the input field should be, such a selection occurs


Can you suggest anything?

 

I can't even get mine this far how do you get it like that even? Would love to know how you did it please.

 

Same issue on 2020.3.16. Did you find a solution?

Edit: https://unity3d.com/unity/whats-new/2020.3.18 fixes that

 

So I have made/found a custom script for moving my RectTrans up when the keyboard pops up:

Code (CSharp):

1. public class AdaptToVirtuelKeyboard : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     [SerializeField, HideInInspector]
4.     private RectTransform rectTransform;
5.  
6.     [SerializeField]
7.     private int debugKeyboardHeight;
8.     private void OnValidate()
9.     {
10.         rectTransform = GetComponent<RectTransform>();
11.     }
12.     void Update()
13.     {
14.         int relativeKeyboardHeight;
15.         if (Application.isPlaying)
16.             relativeKeyboardHeight = VirsabiUtility.GetRelativeKeyboardHeight(rectTransform, true);
17.         else
18.             relativeKeyboardHeight = debugKeyboardHeight;
19.  
20.         rectTransform.anchoredPosition = new Vector2(0, relativeKeyboardHeight);
21.     }
22.  
23.     public static int GetRelativeKeyboardHeight(RectTransform rectTransform, bool includeInput)
24.     {
25.          int keyboardHeight = GetKeyboardHeight(includeInput);
26.          float screenToRectRatio = Screen.height / rectTransform.rect.height;
27.          float keyboardHeightRelativeToRect = keyboardHeight / screenToRectRatio;
28.  
29.          return (int)keyboardHeightRelativeToRect;
30.     }
31.  
32. private static int GetKeyboardHeight(bool includeInput)
33.         {
34. #if UNITY_EDITOR
35.             return 0;
36. #elif UNITY_ANDROID
37.             using (AndroidJavaClass unityClass = new AndroidJavaClass("com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayer"))
38.             {
39.                 AndroidJavaObject unityPlayer = unityClass.GetStatic<AndroidJavaObject>("currentActivity").Get<AndroidJavaObject>("mUnityPlayer");
40.                 AndroidJavaObject view = unityPlayer.Call<AndroidJavaObject>("getView");
41.                 AndroidJavaObject dialog = unityPlayer.Get<AndroidJavaObject>("mSoftInputDialog");
42.                 if (view == null || dialog == null)
43.                     return 0;
44.                 var decorHeight = 0;
45.                 if (includeInput)
46.                 {
47.                     AndroidJavaObject decorView = dialog.Call<AndroidJavaObject>("getWindow").Call<AndroidJavaObject>("getDecorView");
48.                     if (decorView != null)
49.                         decorHeight = decorView.Call<int>("getHeight");
50.                 }
51.                 using (AndroidJavaObject rect = new AndroidJavaObject("android.graphics.Rect"))
52.                 {
53.                     view.Call("getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame", rect);
54.                     return Screen.height - rect.Call<int>("height") + decorHeight;
55.                 }
56.             }
57. #elif UNITY_IOS
58.             return (int)TouchScreenKeyboard.area.height;
59. #endif
60.         }
61. }

This is nice as the background can stay locked while only the relevant UI is moved.

But when using "Hide Mobile Input" the screen is still pushed up.
And when setting the content type to AutoCorrected, you can see on build that the lines are still there. It's just the background and the text that is not rendered. The lines are still extending the rect of the native keyboard....

This honestly looks like whoever made the native integration did a quick hack of hiding the text and background rather than a sound solution?



Edit:
I made a bool to try disabling "includeInput" from the movement and that works but the lines still shows up;

 

Bumping for notification.

 

UP!
