We have a mobile AR app that uses Unity’s input fields for sign up and login. Unfortunately, these input fields are super buggy on mobile devices. On Android, the cursor tends to jump around once you type in, this happens if you type at a normal typing speed. Only if you type very slowly, you can a…

Unity’s built-in InputField for android is actually laughably bad… Just created empty test project on Unity 2019.4.15f (LTS by the way) slapped canvas and InputField with “Hide mobile input” option off. Not only did cursor jump around as I typed relatively fast. After about 1minute of typing and d…

I have also been following the issues about the input field on Android for almost two years now. It is unbelievable how bad it is. I’ve tried multiple workarounds (Mopiscus came close, but still far from perfect), but none provide what a user expects from an input field. When ‘Hide mobile input’ is…

Is it any better a year later???

Maybe github below can solve. (I haven’t tried them, tell me if that’s good ;)) [image] GitHub - mopsicus/umi: Unity mobile input (UMI) plugin for Android and... Unity mobile input (UMI) plugin for Android and iOS, allows to use features of mobile native input fields …

[image] jacky06211: Maybe github below can solve. (I haven’t tried them, tell me if that’s good ;)) https://github.com/mopsicus/UnityMobileInput or https://github.com/kmbang/UnityNativeEdit Thanks! Will be trying this UnityMobileInput today.

Sorry, have had no luck with this plugin.

hey, i don’t know if it belong in here, but i have a really hard time to open / make the phone keyboard to show up, no matter what i did it never show up, is there a setting that i just missing ? i already tried using the mopsicus package but it still won’t show up i use Unity 2022.2.1f1

So, even 2 years after this initial post here I’m facing the exact same issues. I cannot move the cursor around within the inputfield on Android, instead the keyobard slides away when I tap on some letter within my inputfield. Even more frustrating is the fact that this issue seems to be around for…

More issues, that are still valid: Can’t erase selected text on android. onEditEnd/onSubmit are not triggered when “Done” is clicked on the android soft keyboard (the status “Done” callback doesn’t work as well). Probably more, that’s just what is incredibly critical and blocks basic input field …

Unity’s input field is not usable and nobody cares about it. Use third party plugins such as GitHub - development-fennecx/AdvancedInputField: This plugin provides a more Advanced Input Field that has a lot more features and properties than the official Unity InputField.
