New UI Text Entry?

Hi all,
Ive been following the new UI posts with great anticipation but I have yet to see anything that resembles a way for users to enter content in, say, a textbox. For our project, we need to provide an authentication mechanism of username and password before allowing the user to play.

Is there a plan for text entry with the new UI? It would seem like a huge benefit to having some method of entering text, even if it is only the most basic form to start.

Thank you!

 

Glorious! Thanks!!

 

One other thing, hoe does the inputfield accept input from mobile devices? Does it automatically trigger the device screen keyboard?

 

On Android, yes. Also as you write, it will fill the field. (Well, at least this was true in b18, I didn't check recent version, but I would check it's still there as it doesn't make sense otherwise). On iOS I have no idea, but I would guess so (however AFAIK in iOS input - generally - doesn't display written text as Android does, so you need to make sure that your field is visible (not covered by the keyboard)) (please note that information about iOS are from second hand, so they might be inaccurate or even completely false).

 

I see, in that case my info was false. Thank you for clarification.
