TextField setSingleLineTextArea voiding constraint on Android

[Jean-Michel 06]

Hello,

 

I am experiencing a problem on Android device using the TextField.

I expect the keyboard to capitalize the first letter of each sentence setting the constraint INITIAL_CAPS_SENTENCE.

But this fails when I add setSingleLineTextArea(false) and user needs to touch the shift key.

 

This problem is also affecting TextArea.

 

noteTextField = new TextField();
noteTextField.setConstraint(TextField.ANY | TextField.INITIAL_CAPS_SENTENCE);
noteTextField.setInputMode("Abc");
noteTextField.setSingleLineTextArea(false); // Either not capital first letter or single line if true
noteTextField.setGrowByContent(true);
noteTextField.setRows(16);
 

This behavior happens on a Sumsung S2  Android 4.1.2

Thank you

Hi,
that's a limitation of devices. Most of the constraint values are only applicable when using a single line and don't have an equivalent in multi-line editing.
This is really an issue in UITextField and UITextView difference on iOS etc.
