Input touch doesn't detect native keyboard

[DJgray3D]

I have set my App to go to a ‘screensaver’ scene if it doesn’t detect any touch input for 60 secs.

However, this doesn’t seem to work if the user is typing (in an InputField) with the native keyboard; even if they are typing, it will go to the screensaver scene after 60 secs.

This is my script:

    public float timeOut = 30.0f;
    private float timeOutTimer = 0.0f;

    void Update(){
        timeOutTimer += Time.deltaTime;
        if (Input.touchCount > 0){
            timeOutTimer = 0.0f;
        }
        if (timeOutTimer > timeOut) {
            SceneManager.LoadScene("AttractorScene");
            }
        }
    }

I believe it’s the expected behaviour. Input.TouchCount surely register touches within the game itself. However, the keyboard is not part of Unity, which explains the current behaviour.

I suggest you to have a ResetTimer function you will be able to call from the onValueChange event of the InputField component.

void Update(){
     timeOutTimer += Time.deltaTime;
     if (Input.touchCount > 0){
         ResetTimer();
     }
     if (timeOutTimer > timeOut) {
         SceneManager.LoadScene("AttractorScene");
         }
     }
 }

// Specify this function in the `onEndEdit` event of the InputField component
public void ResetTimer()
{
     timeOutTimer = 0.0f;
}
