InputText field not working ( not taking inputs )

[justnajm]

Hi,

This is my first app using stablexui I am quite old fan of stablexui but now has a chance to implement it, I need InputText to take input from user, inputtext appears but does not take input I tried neko, linux and then I tried android not any app taking input or showing keyboard after clicking the inputtext field. Here is the code

    UIBuilder.setTheme('ru.stablex.ui.themes.android4');// even excluding this line has same effect
    UIBuilder.init();

    var widget = UIBuilder.create(InputText, {
        left : 50, top : 200, text: "Enter" });
    flash.Lib.current.addChild( widget );//UIBuilder.buildFn("Assets/ui/test.xml") );

( another bug ) when using buildFn, as commented above throws following error:

Error:(1, -1) ?__ui__arguments : Dynamic -> ru.stablex.ui.widgets.Text should be openfl.display.DisplayObject

Also unable to find any inputtext demo :(

buildFn should be used like this:

flash.Lib.current.addChild( UIBuilder.buildFn("Assets/ui/test.xml")() );

As for the inputText i'll check it later today

Looks like your input field hase zero width and height. Try changing its size to something reasonable.

Thanks, buildfn working great 👍

I have added width, its making text "Enter" streched. Still not taking inputs, strangely adding height make the field disappear completely. My new code when text is streching:

    var widget = UIBuilder.create(InputText, {
        left : 50, top : 200, width: 200, text: "Enter" });

I am not sure if its related or not, the above inputtext issue is with openfl [3,2,2] while setting it to openfl[3,3,3] there is null iter bug, see:

You should use w and h properties instead of width and height

[justnajm]

sorry friend still no difference, I am on Lubuntu 15.04 does it has to do with the problem.

[RealyUniqueName]

I doubt it's related to OS version (i test on Ubuntu 14.04).
Can you show full source code and library versions?

[justnajm]

stablexui[1.1.5]
openfl[3.2.2]
actuate[1.8.6]

my app is not working in html5, therefore for e.g. openfl "AddingText" sample project, main.hx
(Note: same code is accepting input in html5 )

package;


import ru.stablex.ui.themes.android4.defaults.Button;
import ru.stablex.ui.themes.android4.defaults.InputText;
import ru.stablex.ui.widgets.Checkbox;
import ru.stablex.ui.widgets.InputText;
import openfl.text.TextFieldType;
import ru.stablex.ui.widgets.Text;
import ru.stablex.ui.widgets.Button;

import ru.stablex.ui.UIBuilder;

import openfl.display.Sprite;


class Main extends Sprite {


    public function new () {

        super ();


        UIBuilder.setTheme('ru.stablex.ui.themes.android4');
        UIBuilder.init();

        var widget = UIBuilder.create(InputText, {
            left : 50, top : 200, w: 200, h: 20, text: "Enter" });
        flash.Lib.current.addChild( widget );

    }


}

Can you try with latest OpenFL?
For me it works fine on all targets.

[justnajm]

Yes I tried I mentioned it before see:
I am not sure if its related or not, the above inputtext issue is with openfl [3,2,2] while setting it to openfl[3,3,3] there is null iter bug, see:

Latest OpenFL is 3.3.6.
I checked against 3.3.3 and it works for me (Ubuntu 14.04, x64). I guess that exception is related to some conflicts on your machine.

[justnajm]

my badluck :(

after update to openfl 3.3.6, I am having same "Uncaught exception - Cannot iter on null" ( and sure its related to openfl only, as I have commented out everything and still getting it), Alas :`(

[justnajm]

ok here I am again with a different test:
While using OS "ubuntu 15.04x64"
My current version of openfl was 3.1.4, then I updated it to openfl 3.3.6 and tested the app it worked and was taking input in neko and problem was solved 100%.

And just for testing/checking why it is buggy in "lubuntu" I installed openfl 3.2.2, then tested the app "openfl test neko" and the uncaught exception start appearing, then I went back to openfl 3.3.6 and tested, still "uncaught exception" is there and now I am unable to test the app again stuck with "uncaught exception" in ubuntu 15.04 as well :(

I will recommend you once install openfl 3.2.2 and test the app then again switch to 3.3.6 and test you will get error on your machine as well.
