Now available on-screen virtual keyboard

The Pre has always had a virtual keyboard on the screen.  While typing, simply press the symbol key to see.

But obviouly that isn't the full keyboard and it requires the keyboard to bring up the keyboard to the sliding screen.

Good news!  Users have found how to have a real virtual keyboard on the screen on the Pre:

(To use this link: right-click on the link & click on copy shortcut.) Right-click in the address bar of your browser at the top and click on paste. Press ENTER.  So "rooting" is required.)

You can even choose from 10 styles of keyboard.

    I'm addidng all fields in the Manager of scrolling that is vfmScroll.

    By clicking on the edit field, virtual keyboard opens on the screen, change the field leathers and screen does not scroll.

    Help, please.

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the reply of Peter. Instead of UIConstants.SCREEN_HEIGHT, now I use Display.getHeight () - headerHeight-footerHeight. Given that Display.getHeight () is calculated accordingly when the virtual keyboard is open, so his works well for me.

  • The virtual keyboard will prevent the display of gestures in some of the screens.

    Hello

    If peripheral BB10 function key a cheap shots left that the keyboard is displayed even if the screen has no control of editfield. How can I disable this behavior on some of the screen.

    Same issue was discussed below thread, but there is one year and no solution:

    https://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/native-development/how-do-I-prevent-the-virtual-keyboard-fro...

    A workaround that I have implemented is to listen BPS events:

    Subscribe (virtualkeyboard_get_domain ());

    then, virtualkeyboard_request_events (0);

    and then, to catch keyboard events and hide the keyboard.

    If (bps_event_get_domain (event) is virtualkeyboard_get_domain())
    {
    virtualkeyboard_hide();
    }

    This workaround works, but the problem is virtual keyboard appears to half way through and dismissed immd.

    I want to completely disable the virtual keyboard to appear on the gesture on some of my screens.

    is this possible? using something in the bar - descriptor.xml? or handling certain events in C++, QML?

    Here is the configuration that I use:

    SDK: 10.1

    Feature: Z10 with software version 10.2

    IDE: Momentics version 2.0

    Thanks in advance.

    I think the problem here is that gestures like this are handled by OS not by an application so you can not stop this behavior.

  • Rotation of the screen with virtual keyboard.

    Hey all, I am porting a no touch to work in touch devices, but the screen rotation throws me some curves that I can't find a good solution for. I have an image for the background of a screen. In the method of paint background vertical field Manager that holds everything, I check the current resolution and to draw the image appropriate for the portrait to landscape mode. This works well, as long as the virtual keyboard is hidden. I bring up the keyboard (of, say, by clicking in a text field) and the background image does not change (i.e. going from portrait to landscape leaves me with a white bar on the right side of the screen), and the fields have the same width and page layouts. Any advice?

    Ah ha! Long story short, Display.getHeight () returns the height of the screen, but if the virtual keyboard is displayed, its height will not appear in the getHeight() value.  This was causing problems with my orientation detection code.

    The strange display behavior was a result of me being too careful.  I put 'default' in all of my instructions switch during the original no touch development, so that when I don't add different resolutions, he displayed a screen that would be small, but grave not down.  I did not detect a known resolution and continued to display the portrait mode, but only while the keyboard was visible.

  • Virtual keyboard hides part of the change to the field

    Hello

    I have a labelfield, field change and a button that are centered aligned vertically. The three fields, I added in a Verticalfield Manager which is then added to a horizontal region Manager. And finally the HFM is added to an another value for money. Now in the 9800 device or curve 9380, I noticed that when I touch the edit field, virtual keyboard is coming. And he hides the field partially change.

    I want to move things to the top when the virtual keyboard appeared. How can I do. My code is here:

           HorizontalFieldManager hfm = new HorizontalFieldManager();
            VerticalFieldManager vfmComponent = new VerticalFieldManager(USE_ALL_WIDTH);
            vfmComponent.add(lfServerUrl);
            vfmComponent.add(mEfURL);
            vfmComponent.add(mBtnSave);
            hfm.add(vfmComponent);
            int topEmptySpace = (Display.getHeight() - (Bitmap.getBitmapResource(mStrTopBar).getHeight() + hfm.getPreferredHeight() + 25)) / 2;
            hfm.setMargin(topEmptySpace, 0, 0, 0);

            add(vfmMain);
    

    Help, please.

    When you start to need as many managers to get the look you want, then you know that you should really create your own Manager.

    These two should help you to do:

    http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/Java-development/how-to-extend-Manager/Ta-p/446749

    http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/T5/Java-development/create-a-custom-layout-manager-for-a-screen/...

    For example, I hacked together a "centeringManager" and the screen, which should do what you want.  But please use this as a reference sample, understand what he does and maybe even improve it.

    In production code, I would really remove the centeredManager and centering Manager across all fields and place them, but then you must code a manager which includes margins, which would confuse the point of this example - as a basic implementation of a Manager.

    Hope it's what you want.

  • Qosmio Dx730 - indication of virtual keyboard problem

    I have a Toshiba Qosmio Dx730.
    I'm not using the supplied wireless keyboard, but a D + he's wired keyboard standard I prefer the keyboard layout.

    However, the indicator of keyboard to the virtual keyboard is faulty and appears in the lower left of the screen randomly (no matter whether if I hit caps lock shift or not).

    It has now begun to randomly toggle Caps Lock on and out, without apparent reason.

    Can I turn off the indicator of keyboard somehow?
    I never use the virtual keyboard, then I would be happy to be in the off position as well.

    Thanks for any help!

    Hello

    The indicator of virtual keyboard (icons) in the lower right corner of the screen appears because the supplied wireless keyboard does not support indicators SHIFT CAPS LOCK, Numlock and SCROLLLOCK. This is why virtual indicators seems displays the status of the mentioned buttons.

    You can activate the icons ON / OFF by clicking the keyboard Toshiba indicator in the notification area in the taskbar.

  • Virtual keyboard causing OutOfMemoryError

    JDE 4.7

    I have NO IDEA what's going on.  Everything worked fine, I changed a few custom bitmaps, buttons now, any screen with an EditField crashes when the virtual keyboard comes up or shortly after when I start typing the text in the edit field, or sometimes, when I hide the keyboard.

    Eception thrown exception - OutOfMemoryError

    Everything else in the program works very well.

    I do not understand the information in the method call is enough to locate the problem but bitmap on the first line, so I guess it has something to do with my buttons, I changed.  But what they would have to do with an editField and the virtualkeyboard?

    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Sounds to me like showing the keyboard is originally a sublayout, and it is entering a type of infinite loop, consumes system resources. I can guarantee fairly good that the popup of the keyboard ate 1.2 MB of RAM and 1.5 MB of flash.

    Look very closely at substitutions layout() or sublayout().

  • Spectrum of HP x 360: no spectrum virtual keyboard HP x 360-13-4159nd

    I recently bought a HP x 360-13-4159nd spectrum and I noticed during the passage of the laptop computer in tablet mode, no virtual keyboard appears. In the settings I enabled the option to optimize Windows when the appliance is used in the form of tablets, but happening just the screen in tablet mode while I always use it in portable mode. The option is automatically disabled once again, when you switch between different modes. In settings-> devices-> type option to automatically display the keyboard of the screen, no physical keyboard connected to the unit is turned on. Is it possible to solve the problem of the missing virtual keyboard?

    TL; Dr: no virtual keyboard in tablet mode, don't optimize function does not work and the option to display the keyboard screen when no physical keyboard is attached is on.

    Hello

    Please try:

    1. right click on the taskbar , and then select show keyboard key keys.

    2. open the keyboard and shut up (just to check if its working).

    2. then click hasAction Center (or Win + A) and select the Tablet Mode.
