Multi Line Support in Inputfield

[ATHellboy]

Hey,

Is this modified inputField support multi line submit and multi line newline ?

I've checked these items and unfortunately just support single line ?

Any suggestion to fix this issue ?

I've had RTL languages problem in Unity and this package solve my problem. I've test many packages and codes but all of them have problem in some situation.

Many thanks,
Alireza

Hi ATHellboy!

The original plugin where we forked from had some support for multiline text fields but we haven't been using those ourselves so yeah it's likely that there are some bugs (and we might even have broken more things with those with our changes).

I think the multiline code is still in the project so you could try to fix issues yourself, that might be the quickest route.

We're not planning to use multiline fields ourselves, so we're likely not looking into that in the near future.

I might investigate it on my free time at some point, but I'm not making any promises :)

Hey,

The input field is controlled by sending Json file to the plugin ?

I've seen in NativeEditBox which multi line attribute of input field is sent to the plugin like other attributes.

I try to dig in codes and find differences between these codes and original ones and I've not found anything special just one thing that i guess maybe it is important part of multi line feature.

The difference which is in my mind is if (c == '\n') { this.ForceSendKeydown_Android("enter"); } part of code.

Do you have any idea about that ?

Unfortunately I've not tested original code to determine that multi line works or doesn't.

Many thanks

I think this should catch the enter presses the same way, we just thought it was cleaner to compare directly to the character.

[Hemaolle]

Could you describe what kind of problems you have with the multiline input fields?

[ATHellboy]

Multiline doesn't work in input fields.When i choose multiline from combo box in inspector of input field component, It doesn't change anything in android build. It works in editor but not android build. Actually in android build, multiline input fileds are like single ones.

[ATHellboy]

I've checked original code that you fork from it. I don't know why, but the native input field didn't work.
Does this native android plugin support multiline ?

[ATHellboy]

Anyone ?

[Hemaolle]

Yeah, I don't know if the original developer then tested the multiline stuff either. I can see that there are some things done differently if a multiline flag is passed to the plugin, but I can't say where the issue lies then. One thing that I think we changed was adding an event for return pressed, but then again if the original version doesn't work either I'm not sure if that was the breaking change.

As said earlier I might investigate the multiline problems at some point in the future, but if you need it in your project and want to use this plugin I recommend trying to investigate the issue yourself. I'm more than happy to integrate a fix if you manage to find one.

[ATHellboy]

Thanks Hemaolle,

I try to investigate about multiline but I asked just because you and other contributes know the codes and plugin more than me.

I've checked the original one but I think i need to recheck it again and I'll let you know for the result.

[Hemaolle]

Yeah, no problem :) Let me know how it goes!

[ATHellboy]

Yup, I've had some mistakes for checking the original one, I've tested it and multiline works very well but until now I didn't find any solution for this version.

How can I disable return key ? I want to comment lines that reference to return key but when I do that the input field doesn't work

I guess maybe it is because of return key, because when I've checked original plugin in the input field we have next line button but in this plugin we don't have it.

.

[Hemaolle]

Not having the return button sounds like a problem in either setting the texfield to multiline (maybe the setting gets reset after it's set by something else we do) or the IME (keyboard) options or similar. I think we maybe added the possibility to have a "Done" or "Next" button on the keyboard so maybe that affects the presence of the return button.

[ATHellboy]

Excuse me for latency.

Yup, I think it is reset by something so I guess maybe it is because of return keys because multiline textfiled need next line button but it doesn't exist.

Default return key returns what kind of return key ? just next and done ? Is there any way to add next line key to the return keys option ?

Many thanks
