Ren'Py Tutorial Enter Button on Android

[recreation]

Since I've seen this so many times in RenPy games threads, users asking for "Halp!!! Can't enter text/Input/Enter not working" and many dev's seem to ignore it or simply answer with "use the google keyboard" instead of fixing the problem, I thought I make this thread. I'm playing most the adult games on my android too, so I know it sux to change the keybord every time you have to input some text, and there are some games where you do it a lot. It's annoying...
The problem should actually not exist anymore with newer renpy versions (7.0.1+ I believe), but in fact, there are still many games where it still doesn't work, maybe because they are made before renpy V7.0.1 was out, or developement started with a earlier version. For these games a simple fix would be to include an enter button for text input on android. It's actually so easy I don't understand why so many dev's don't do it... maybe there are even easier solutions, I don't know, but this is how I did it:

In scripts.rpy somewhere at the top put this:

init -2 python:
    class GetInput(Action):
        def __init__(self,screen_name,input_id):
            self.screen_name=screen_name
            self.input_id=input_id
        def __call__(self):
            if renpy.get_widget(self.screen_name,self.input_id):
                return str(renpy.get_widget(self.screen_name,self.input_id).content)

and then in screens.rpy search for :

screen input(prompt):
    style_prefix "input"

    window:

        vbox:
            xalign gui.dialogue_text_xalign
            xpos gui.dialogue_xpos
            xsize gui.dialogue_width
            ypos gui.dialogue_ypos

            text prompt style "input_prompt"
            input id "input"

and replace it with:

screen input(prompt):
    style_prefix "input"

    window:

        vbox:
            xsize gui.dialogue_width
            if renpy.variant("touch"):
                xalign 0.6
                xpos 0.7
                ypos -600
                text prompt style "input_prompt":
                    color gui.choice_button_text_idle_color
                input id "input":
                    color gui.choice_button_text_idle_color
                textbutton "Ok" action GetInput("input","input"): #Ok is the text on the button, could also be "Enter", or "Go" or whatever you like
                    text_color gui.choice_button_text_idle_color
                    text_hover_color gui.choice_button_text_hover_color
            else:
                xalign gui.dialogue_text_xalign
                xpos gui.dialogue_xpos
                ypos gui.dialogue_ypos
                text prompt style "input_prompt"
                input id "input"

Done!
You now have a simple "OK" button in your input screen that shows only on android.

The text and the button are styled like in menu choices and have the same hover effect.
