[Interest] TextField QML auto keyboard hiding/lose focus on touch events

[Gian Maxera]

Hello Mark,
I achieve that on mobile using a simple MouseArea that cover all the screen and it’s under all other active elements.
When that MouseArea is touched, I call Qt.inputMethod.hide() … and that’s it.
So, if the user touch outside any button, textfield, etc… then that touch will reach the underlying MouseArea that will call the hide on keyboard.

Ciao,
Gianluca.
