Android Question IME issues

[tsteward]

I have the following lines of code

    IMEMain.Initialize("IMEMain")
    IMEMain.AddHeightChangedEvent
    'IMEMain_HeightChanged(100%y, 0) 'manually call this method to set the layout of EditText1 and btnHideKeyboard
    IMEMain.AddHandleActionEvent(ETSearch.TextField)

And I get this error but don't understand why

You haven't provided enough information. Best to reproduce it in a small project and upload it.

 

[tsteward]

Yeah I know but it works in small examples. Was just hoping for some suggestions on how to track it down.

IMEMain.AddHandleActionEvent(ETSearch.TextField)

This looks suspicious. What is ETSearch that has a 'TextField' property? The parameter to AddHandleActionEvent should be the EditText itself.

 

[tsteward]

etsearch is a B4XFloatTextField

 

[DonManfred]

dim edt as TextEdit = B4XFloatTextField.Textfield
IMEMain.AddHandleActionEvent(edt)

 

[tsteward]

dim edt as TextEdit = B4XFloatTextField.Textfield
IMEMain.AddHandleActionEvent(edt)

Thanks for that but I can't get past the line
IMEMain.AddHeightChangedEvent

Without the error above, so can't compile and don't understand why I am getting this error.
What might be causing it?

 

[tsteward]

Okay got it figured. Had to move the IMEMain.Initialize("IMEMain") up the list further before sliding menu

Thank you
