When I copy location coordinates to an entry control, the format is modifed and I lost the "," character

[ComptonAlvaro]

Description

I search some place in google maps application, I copy the coordinates from a location, so I have for example 30.123123, -3.456456

When I paste this in some application like a chat in WhatsApp, I get this format, but when I copy this text to a entry control in my application, I get this: 30123123.3456456. So I lost the format of the coordinates.

I am from Spain, so in my configuration I use "," as decimal separator and "." as miles separator. Perhaps this could be the problem.

However, if this would be the problem, why in another applications I get the correct string?

How could I keep the original format?

Thanks.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a project.
2. In the main page, add an entry
3. Copy the coordinates from a location in google maps application.
4. Copy it to the entry

Is your Entry set to have a numeric keyboard? If so, that's a known issue. See #7582

Yes, my entry is configure as numeric, but the property of the view model is set as string.

Yes, my entry is configure as numeric, but the property of the view model is set as string.

Then that's the problem. As explained in the linked issue on Android an Entry with Numeric keyboard is very strict about what it will accept. One decimal point (.) and zero commas (,) regardless of region settings, etc. If you want to enter co-ordinates on Android you won't be able to use a Numeric keyboard on an Entry, you'll need to do something else.
