[jira] [Created] (FLEX-33166) We need to be able to call use text input fields in a scrollable container to call up the soft number pad in IOS

Dan Murray created FLEX-33166:
---------------------------------

             Summary: We need to be able to call use text input fields in a scrollable container to call up the soft number pad in IOS 
                 Key: FLEX-33166
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33166
             Project: Apache Flex
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: .Unspecified - Mobile
    Affects Versions: Adobe Flex SDK 4.6 (Release)
         Environment: All IOS
            Reporter: Dan Murray
             Fix For: Apache Flex 4.8 (parity release), Apache Flex 4.9.0


We should be able to configure a text field which only accepts numerical input to call up the numeric pad. However, the skinclasses for the textfield that can call up the number pad will not scroll--If you try to use the skinclass that can call the softkey number pad in a scrollable container, the textfield scrolls away from its text.

If your skin is using a TextField then there is no API to control the keyboard type.

-----------------------------------

This is mostly a runtime issue.  The runtime does not provide a way to clip StageText so there is no way to scroll StageText within a container that is not full screen or is occluded by other display objects.  We could provide the capability of relocating the StageText for scenarios where the container is full screen and not occluded.  It would just look wrong in those other scenarios.

Alex, 
Thank you for your explanation. Is there a way to set up the regular TextInput with TextInputSkin class to call up the numeric soft key pad?

-----------------------------------

The ability to call up a numerical key pad is a fundamental user interface feature on mobile devices. Flex is not capable of utilizing this basic feature if the input field you are using is in a scrolling container--which is, as often as not, necessary with data applications. Other developers are bound to run into this as something that is a hindrance to using Flex--as I have.
