Title: Windows Phone 8 Keyboard Issue
Post by: thiagodeserto on November 03, 2013, 11:50:55 am

Hi,

I found an issue that occurs only on Windows Phone 8 devices.
When I click on tk2dUITextInput item it does not receive typed chars on WP8.
The system works great on editor but does not on mobile.

The weird thing is, sometimes (5% or less) it works.
I tested on a new scene and with the provided samples.

Here a video to see exactly what is going on:

Unity Pro 4.2.1f
2D Toolkit 2.2.3

There is any workaround for this, I'm on a project rush here.

How bizarre. I'll investigate this.

After investigating it, we found that it is due to Unity behaving differently on Windows Phone compared to other mobile platforms. You can patch in a fix by removing the bits in bold in tk2dUITextInput.cs


#if TOUCH_SCREEN_KEYBOARD
    private IEnumerator TouchScreenKeyboardLoop()
    {
        while (keyboard != null && !keyboard.done && keyboard.active)
        {
            Text = keyboard.text;
            yield return null;
        }



Let me know how it goes.

Hi,

I'm having the same problem on my game.

Can that bold part be removed for all platforms, or does it need to be a special case for Windows Phone?

Thanks

Its a special case for Windows Phone. Thats the only platform that behaves in that way...
