How are you building the UI?

How are you building the UI?

I'm using the designer

I had something similar with spinners. If I remember right it was on a Android 4+ device with maxSDK set pretty low.

how do you fix it ?

Think it was just a matter of setting higher maxSDK in manifest editor. 18 or 19 are the latest 2. May also need to update your sdk Android . jar reference.

 

[Erel]

You probably mean targetSdkVersion. You should set it to 14. In most cases there is no good reason to set maxSdk.

Yes, good call Erel. Busy day at work today so my brain is like mushy peas. Thanks for picking that up...

Well it has 14 and still not working.

ddManifestText(
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" android:targetSdkVersion="14"/>
<supports-screens android:largeScreens="true" 
    android:normalScreens="true" 
    android:smallScreens="true" 
    android:anyDensity="true"/>)
SetApplicationAttribute(android:icon, "@drawable/icon")
SetApplicationAttribute(android:label, "$LABEL$")

how can I fix this ?

thanks.

Never seen this (and I'm testing on 4-5 devices). Can you post you code here and what properties of the Edittext's you've changed?

 

[achtrade]

I've installed the apk in my phone Galaxy S3 and the problem persist. This is really annoying.

What else can I do ?

Please help

 

[achtrade]

no code related to the textbox, this is the property screen.

Maybe if I change the textbox's background color ? how ?

Can you upload your project (File - Export as zip)?

Here it is. You can see my another issue too http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/activity-with-panel-label-textbox-and-webview-shows-only-webview.43965/

If you can help me with both that would be great.

Thanks.

For this issue change your theme to Theme(old) or Holo.Light. To do this click on the menu key on the phone in B4A designer. You also need to set the theme in the manifest editor.

SetApplicationAttribute(android:theme, "@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light")

thank you thank you thank you

This solved my 2 issues.

Thanks again

Just spotted this again, The theme was going to be my second suggestion.

In fact, thinking about it, it may have been what spurred my version based theme tutorial as if you have it set to just Holo then I believe you will get errors in older version of android that don't support the Holo theme...

Glad you got it sorted
