Notepad feature problems in android

I have purchased and installed the notepad feature and although it works great on iPhone it does not invoke the keypad in android. Did anybody work out a solution for this?

Hey @Rotsos, I believe I know the answer to this but don't want to steer you the wrong way. I will refer this to the developer of this plugin. LA

I believe in Android you have to hit edit twice for the keyboard to work. Developer is aware of the issue.

yes that way it works but it will be a bit difficult for users to figure it out. I hope the developer can give us a solution.

Hi everybody, Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution to this yet. Still working on it! But people are correct - the workaround is to hit Edit, then Save, then Edit again, and it'll work. I'll keep searching for a solution and let people know when I have one! Mark

We all have the same issue... What I did was place an image at the bottom of my android notepad that explained that the 'edit' button must be hit twice... Make sure it's a small image; the keyboard will push it up on edit... Cheers! -- Smug

Open invite to anybody who wants to dig through the code and try to figure out what the issue is. The code is in your download package, and you can set some breakpoints to walk through and see what's happening when the problem shows itself. I've been working on it, but keep having other things pop up that require my attention. Mark

Hi SuVinay, Do you have the Notepad plugin installed in your control panel? If so, then you have the latest code if you download any iOS project. Mark

Hi All, After some playing around I have managed to solve this issue by replacing some code in the Notepad_feature.java file. in the startEdit function I have replaced imm.showSoftInput(txtEdit, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT); with the following imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, 0); I hope this helps

Very nice, @Rotsos! I was thinking it was something as simple as that. I'll spend some time testing it, and if it looks good, I'll update the plugin soon. Thanks! Mark
