[Android] Inputfield hideMobileInput

Unity Engine
1

Hey there,

i’ve may got a problem, bug or just don’t understand it.

I’ve created a new android app with Unity3D which is based on the ‘new’ UnityUI-System. I use a lot of Inputfields for user registration, login and so on.

But when i test my app and open a inputfield, there is a dark textbox appears on a white background on top of the keyboard and the text in the dark textbox is also dark that means very hard to read. I’ve want to hide this textbox and found out then i need to check “HideOnMobile” on the Inputfield but nothing happens, i’ve also changed the inputtype to alphanumeric and alternatives.

Reference picture: http://i.stack.imgur.com/hGetn.png (my textbox is just dark with a dark font and the textbox lays on something like a white panel)

PS: I’ve tested on Android 4.2 and 4.4

May you have a solution for this bug or know when this would be fixed. This is currently making me crazy ^^

Best regards from Germany.

This feature is not available with Android, as specified in TouchScreenKeyboard.hideInput documentation (bottom of page, note).
Keyboard area size is not available too with Android.

Thanks for that fast reply.

Is that unity specific or is it generally with android

It’s possible with Android SDK, but very very hacky.
