Keyboard on Shiny mobile view

[Andre Marais]

Hey

I'm building a dashboard using Shiny which is mostly intended for mobile viewing. Is it somehow possible to keep the keyboard from popping up, while accessing the dashboard from a mobile device?

Thanks!
Andre

Can I assume there isn't an answer to this one yet? Unfortunately it seems to make most of my Shiny apps, that would be fine regarding screen size etc., almost unusable on a mobile device.

I don't think I've seen this. Are you saying that the keyboard pops up even if you haven't selected a text field?

Nope I kinda gave up for now :P

Something like inputSelect with Multiply = T feels like it shouldn't need the keyboard, but it actually does when you want to remove a selection. But inputs like dataInput bring up the keyboard, which isn't really necessary.  

I know way to little to really know where to fiddle around with settings. I think it's more of a device setting than an html/shiny setting, but i might be completely wrong

With a selectInput, I think that if you use selectize=F, I think it won't bring up the keyboard. The selectize-style inputs allow typing, but the non-selectize version doesn't.

I'm not sure what you mean by "dataInput", so I can't help with that.

Winston's method, of using selectize=FALSE, does the trick, reverts to the usual HTML drop down box which works really well with the mobile devices I tested it on.

I'm now interested in whether it's possible to keep using selectize (if you want its flexibility and power) but switch off this keyboard popup behaviour.  Based on this sligthly acrimonious discussion: https://github.com/brianreavis/selectize.js/issues/110 which I may be misunderstanding, I thought putting

 tags$script(HTML("('.selectize-input input').prop('disabled', true);"))

into my ui.R would do the trick but it doesn't - I'm sure there's something simple I've got wrong (incorporating javascript directly into Shiny is new for me).

Was a solution to this problem ever found?  I have the same problem wherein I would like to use selectize, but the keyboard pops-up on on mobile devices.
