Virtual keyboard text input field customization

10 Aug 2023, 09:34

Hi Guys.
We have been developing an app in Unreal Engine and one of the issues we are stuck with is related to the virtual keyboard on Android.
UMG doesn’t allow putting a button at the same line with the input text field. Below is the full description of the problem including a screenshot.

Basically, we need to create a messaging UI similar to Whatsapp. We googled for possible solutions and stumbled upon a C++ code of your SDK which created a custom virtual keyboard control. Then we checked your website, and your solution looks interesting. Does Noesis allow customizing virtual keyboard text field area, or maybe it comes with a “send” button by default?

Thank you.

Hi,

We use the multi platform functions that Unreal provides. I guess you could target the Android API directly, or you could implement a virtual keyboard (we don’t have a VK control).

In any case you would need to change the plug-in code to modify the function passed to Noesis::GUI::SetSoftwareKeyboardCallback
