TextField without keyboard

[Hekhy]

I am making a calculator and I have tried to do it by putting a textfield, but I want the keyboard not to appear if the texfield is focused, I have tried with systemchannel of services.dart and other things that make the keyboard not appear when you do tap, but if you select the text to copy it, the keyboard will appear again. My question is why isn't there simply a property in the textfield that makes the virtual keyboard unable to appear? It would be very helpful since to make the calculator I have made my own keyboard using widgets.

TextField is for users to edit the text (with their keyboard). If you don’t need keyboards, how about using SelectableText?

Yes, it's a good idea, but it still doesn't work for what I want because I can't edit the text once it's written, I can only select it and copy it. It is also a good contribution and I thank you. I have also tried EditableText but it behaves almost the same as the textfield and continues to teach the keyboard.

Your keyboard updates the content of SelectableText. Or maybe I need to understand what your keyboard does.

My keyboard are widgets, specifically FlatButton, that receive a Text to distinguish each button and that in the onPressed property, I tell it to edit the controler.text of the texfield and thus add the value of the string that each button has to that textfield to be written and displayed on the screen. That is why I do not need the device's own keyboard, but only that keyboard that I have created is used, but the device always comes out, I have achieved that it does not appear if you only tap on the keyboard, but if you keep the tap to select the text exits the device keyboard again.

Thank you for explanation. Yes, you want to control the content of SelectableText by your keyboard, in a similar timing as you update “controller.text” (don’t forget to call setState method).
