Hide textbox for TouchScreenKeyboard

When i start typing in one of the textbox. a keyboard appears like the following.


I am using NGUI for UI. How to hide this textbox for uiinput ?
P/S : i am using Unity 5.0p3 and NGUI 3.8.2 release for Sam Sung Galaxy Trend Plus with Android 4.3

 

Same problem here and no hint all over the internet.
Have you found a workaround? Very annoying issue =/

 

This works cross-platform for all mobile keyboard inputs. According to the mobile keyboard reference, you can use

Code (CSharp):

1. TouchScreenKeyboard.hideInput = true;

You can also check the highlighted box below:

 

Hi, Scarletshark, and thank you for your anwser.
Here's the thing. I don't want to hide the keyboard itself, just the textfield shown on top of it (orange in the screenshot of the op).
However, even cheching the "Hide mobile input" nothing changes - nor the keyboard itself nor the orange input field.
The orange textfield is attached to the keyboard - it was not placed in the app by the op, it just shows whenever the keyboard is invoked. So you get the textfield of the app AND this over the keyboard being filled at the same time, it just seems bizarre.

 

Here's a screenshot to better illustrate the strange behavior:

When I touch any textfield (the one bellow "Usuário" in this case) the keyboard is invoked with this orange framed textfield and i really want to get rid of it.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

 

Did you try the script I posted? The API docs say it should work.

 

Yes, did try it but nothing changed at all . I'll start a new post describing the problem in details.
But thanks as always!

 

I research & use this method but it is only hide text that type by user.
Textfield is always top mobile key.

It seems like a bug in Unity5 on Android.....

 

It's not really a bug...

Hi,

I bump this thread because I'm experience the same issue on an application. I have an Input field and I have set TouchScreenKeyboard.hideInput = true in my code. But when the Input filed get the focus, the keyboard open-up and the keyboard input field is shown.

How can I prevent that ?

Thanks

 

As it says in the docs the input area can only be hidden on iOS. ("Note: Android: only TouchScreenKeyboard.visible input field is supported, hence this value is always false." etc.)

But is there any native plugin option to provide an alternative or a future plan to change this in Unity?
It's a particular problem in landscape where the keyboard and text-entry area cover the whole phone screen.

 

On ios this problem persists on Unity 2018.2.6f1.

On exported project UI/Keyboard.mm class the external function "UnityKeyboard_SetInputHidden" is not executed when TouchScreenKeyboard.hideInput = true; is executed on Unity.

You can fix that by hardcoding the "updateInputHidden()" function. Just add this at the beginning of the function:
"
if (_inputHidden == 0) {
_shouldHideInputChanged = 1;
_inputHidden = 1;
_shouldHideInput = 1;
}

"

 

Thanks for that, works like a charm. I can't believe this is still an issue on version 2020.1.9f1
