[Interest] TextEdit and virtual keyboard

[igor.mironchik at gmail.com]

Guys. All Qt text input controls work well and launch soft keyboard automatically.

My problem was in my own TextEdit, that I wrote...

Thanks.

I believe TextEdit already launches the virtual keyboard when it receives the focus.
Try setting the "z" parameter as 1 to put the TextInput object in foreground. Perhaps a MouseArea may be overriding the focus capture.

Example: 
import QtQuick 2.0

Rectangle {
width: 320
height: 480

TextEdit {
z: 1
width: parent.width
text: "Some Text"
font.family: "Helvetica"
font.pointSize: 20
color: "blue"
wrapMode: TextEdit.WrapAnywhere
}

MouseArea {
anchors.fill: parent
onClicked: {
Qt.inputMethod.hide() ;
}
}
}

As an aside, when you use a _TextInput_ on iOS, it does auto-launch the iOS soft keypad when you tap on the TextInput.  Pretty convenient.  Maybe TextEdit should be enhanced to work like TextInput; maybe it should auto-launch the platform-specific keypad like TextInput does.

Hi and thanks.

I’ve found the answer: qApp->inputMethod()->show();

There is not one that is included in Qt. You can make one. Here are some links that show how.

http://doc.qt.digia.com/QtVirtualKeyboard/qtvirtualkeyboard-enterprise-virtualkeyboard-virtualkeyboard-virtualkeyboard-qml.html

http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/1486

Or you can try to reuse one that was created for a specific platform, such as meego.

  Hi.

  I’m implementing TextEdit. And I want the virtual keyboard to be shown on tap on the widget (on mobile platforms).

  What should I do for it?

  Thanks.
