Hi there to all of Tumult users,
i´m just preparing a game for mobile devices and
would like to start an input with numeric keypad instead of
regular keyboard.
Description:
Player A is typing a specific number to get to an specific scene and from there so on…
This all works fine, but i like to show a Numbpad on the beginning instead of full keyboard.
Anyone there with an idea?
I will attache my project to show what´s working
i.e. first input is: 123456 then hit the green button
Hi Daniel,
getting a number pad to show up isn´t the problem for me, but giving the input field an ID what works
for listening and directing to the correct scene, this is, what i´m looking for.
See attached pics…this works with regular keyboard…
The textarea code looks bad; notice there are two opening tags with the second looking like a property?
Regardless, in the link above the method to bring up the numeric keyboard on iOS is to use an <input> tag with a type of number and/or a pattern restricting it. Here’s a stack overflow answer with a simple version of the field.
Hi Jonathan,
yeah you´re right…bad hack, however (but works;-))
I have 15 different scenes which will be shown up by putting
in the right number(s)
i.e. 123456 is scene 1, 234567 is scene 2 and so on.
The script i´m using now (textarea) is listening to textarea input and directing to the
correct scene.
The only problem is to show up a numpad instead of a regular keypad.
So i guess there must be a numpad ID instead of “var inputText = document.getElementById(‘myTextarea’).value”;
unfortunately the app is running on android devices;-(
Getting the NumPad to appear ist not the problem, but
giving it a unique ID for the “check” script is, what i´m looking for
I did some brief searching online, and it looks like there are some methods but they have caveats. I didn’t see a definitive answer listing everything, but if you search on google for something like “android html number pad” you’ll find some amount of answers and hacks to get it to show.
