Handle web inputs
azkdev opened this issue ยท 6 comments
Hi there, thank you for your work on this extended plugin =)
Do you have some thinks about how to handle web inputs? I mean that when we try to focus web inputs, there is not triggering keyboard on android =(
Can be this solved or not yet ?
Thanks for help again, and sorry for my English ๐
Hi, thanks for reporting the issue. You are right, text input is broken on Android. Seems the underlying cause is a limitation in Flutter's PlatformView. flutter-webapp relies on webview_flutter, which in turn relies on PlatformView. Here are some interesting links on the topic:
flutter/flutter#25436
flutter/flutter#19718
flutter/engine#5845
Temporary workarounds:
-
Fork Flutter and remove. Keyboard pops up, but disappears immediately. Probably no trivial solution on the native side.WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE
from shell/platform/android/io/flutter/plugin/platform/SingleViewPresentation.java -
Switch webview to https://github.com/fluttercommunity/flutter_webview_plugin . This plugin is reported to play nice with text input, but it won't allow the app to display a flutter view on top of web content.
I created a new branch https://github.com/iamluciano/flutter-webapp/tree/altwebview that implements workaround #2, give it a try.
@iamluciano fantastic job =)
thank you a lot for your contribution! =)
it's a free template to use ?
i mean, i can build my own hybrid web - android app using your template? =)
thank you again =)
Yes sure go ahead, I released this under a permissive Apache license. If you ever launch a public app to the stores, let me know so I add it to the project's portfolio :)
Thank you,
of course when i will publish my app on Play Market and App Store i can give you both links =)
maybe do you have a skype account or are u using slack ? =)
