Android Question (Solved) EditText return key

iCAB · Jan 25, 2022

Hi All,

When I try setting EditText auto-capitalize on using the code below, the return key disappears:

B4X:

    txtb.InputType = txtb.INPUT_TYPE_TEXT
    
    txtb.InputType = Bit.Or(txtb.InputType, 16384)

Is there a better way of doing this?

Thanks

Have you unchecked the Single Line option in the designer?

This code works fine here:

B4X:

Private Sub B4XPage_Created (Root1 As B4XView)
    Root = Root1
    Root.LoadLayout("MainPage")
    EditText1.InputType = Bit.Or(EditText1.InputType, 16384)
End Sub

Hi Erel,

Thanks for your reply.
The control in question was added by code.

Sorry Erel, I just noticed the following.
It is related to the fact that I am calling the function and passing the original control as a View:

B4X:

Sub LAY_TextBoxSetAutoCapitalizeFirstLetter( vView As View )
    Dim txtb As EditText = vView
    txtb.InputType = txtb.INPUT_TYPE_TEXT
    txtb.InputType = Bit.Or(txtb.InputType, 16384)
End Sub

If I use the code below instead of calling the function, the problem goes away:

B4X:

txtbOrgControl.InputType = txtbOrgControl.INPUT_TYPE_TEXT
txtbOrgControl.InputType = Bit.Or(txtbOrgControl.InputType, 16384)

Is there a workaround while using a View as a parameter?

Thanks,
iCAB

Correct code is:

B4X:

Sub LAY_TextBoxSetAutoCapitalizeFirstLetter( vView As View )
    Dim txtb As EditText = vView
    txtb.InputType = Bit.Or(txtb.InputType, 16384)
End Sub

If it doesn't work for you then please upload a small project.
