Ren'Py android keyboard issues

[obsessionau]

I just tried porting my game to my phone and I am having two issues with renpy.input.

1) When I get to a input screen the keyboard pops up straight away before I can even read what I am supposed to be inputting. Pressing the back button hides the keyboard, but then it just pops back up.

2) When I try to type in the password h0ta$$, everytime I get to the $ the line clears itself and so I just end up with $$.

In Ren'py is there anyway of telling the phone that this is an input box that should not be manipulated.
I managed to fix the second one by turning off the auto capitalise first character of sentence. But still not sure how to hide the keyboard.

So far have not had any other issues.

the66 any idea on this ?

Regarding #1, one possibility is not to use the vanilla "input" mechanism, but instead create a screen that includes an input screen element

You must be registered to see the links

This would allow you to position the input such that the Android keyboard doesn't overlap the input area.

No idea about #2.

to position the vanilla input screen just add a style for touch screens.

style input_window:
    variant "touch"
    yalign .1

you can also use ypos. simply position the screen somewhere above the virtual keyboard.

I will look into this. thanks!

I was going to see if adding a wait {w} at the end would work. But was unsure in what sequence the line would be processed.
