SpiderBasic

I have asked before, and just checking, there is no way to access this type of numeric keypad from SpiderBasic?

Sorry, but there is no pic, so maybe I'm wrong.

But if you want to open a special keypad on a mobile phone when clicking into a StringGadget, on Android a function like this works, if you call it with the ID-number of the StringGadget:

Code: Select all

Procedure SetStringGadgetKeyboard(id.i, kbdt.u)
  If kbdt = 1
    ! spider_GadgetID(v_id).gadget.textbox.setAttribute('inputmode','decimal');
  ElseIf kbdt = 2
    ! spider_GadgetID(v_id).gadget.textbox.setAttribute('inputmode','numeric');
  ElseIf kbdt = 3
    ! spider_GadgetID(v_id).gadget.textbox.setAttribute('inputmode','email');
  Else
    ! spider_GadgetID(v_id).gadget.textbox.setAttribute('inputmode','text');
  EndIf
EndProcedure

Whoa, now that's a cool trick. I'm not OP, but it works here, thanks for sharing!

That's amazing thatnk for sharing it. Are there any other input options?

It's my pleasure to share...
The above was what I needed for my app, but some googling will give more types, for example

You will have to find out, what really works with different Android oder iOS versions and their different keypads. I use a lot devices from Sunmi, there are some cheap ones with Android 7.1, there you need to install a software keypad, for example GBoard from Google, to let the input mode work, on more expensive newer one with Android >= 9 the above types work.

Absolutely brilliant. Thank you.
