Hello, I just want to do in my simple app is when the user type admin and password it will go to the next card. in my code, I will assign a default username (admin) and password (12345). I noticed that there is a different approach when using the widget native field compared to a regular field. hope you can help me guys. thanks, in an advance

Hello everyone,

Is there a bug in the widget android native field? how can I get the inputted text in this field? I don't know if I can use the field here coz there is a problem with the keyboard sometimes it doesn't appear.

There are two ways to create an Android field. The first way is to use mobileControlCreate. The second way is to use the field widget in the tool palette which you drag onto the card. Your image looks like you are using the widget, but the code looks like you are creating a native field by script. You can't mix the two.

You need to write scripts that read the user input which you'd probably do in the Enter button. When the user taps the button, get the text of the fields and see if it is correct. The syntax is:

Code: Select all

get the text of widget "password"

You can see all the messages and properties in the dictionary if you search for "Android native field".

Hello Jacque,

Thanks for the information. most of the example I saw in the internet they are using this "mobileControlCreate". I'm trying the second way you said. Is there a example or link using this syntax in android?

It's simple enough that I doubt there is a lesson. Drag a field widget to the card and name it "user". Drag another to the card and name it "password".

In the Enter button, create a mouseUp handler.

Code: Select all

on mouseUp 
  put the text of widget "user" into tUser
  put the text of widget "password" into tPass
  - - here, compare the values to the correct responses 
  - - and take action if they are correct 
end mouseUp

Hi Jacque,

there is wrong in my previous code instead "put" i typed the "get" that's why it's not working. this is now ok. Thanks again and stay safe.

Hi Jacque,

How can I get the text of the datagrid going to my widget? i tried this code noting happens

Code: Select all

if EditProd is "EditProd" then
            put the dgHilitedLine of group "DataProd" into tLineToEdit 
            
            if tLineToEdit is empty then
               beep
               Answer info "Please select a Product name to EDIT INFORMATION" 
            else
               if tLineToEdit is a number and tLineToEdit >0 then
                  
                  set the itemdel to tab
                  put line tLineToEdit of the dgtext of grp "DataProd" of cd "MainCard" of stack "MyAndriod" into tData
                               
                  put the text item 1 of tdata into widget "ProdPrice" of cd "EditProd"
                                        
                    go to card "EditProd"
                  
               end if

Hi lemodizon,

do this:

Code: Select all

...
   ## If you do not have an ELSE case for this IF -> if EditProd is "EditProd" then
   ## you should avoid many IF THENs, this makes the script better readable!
   if EditProd <> "EditProd" then
      exit mouseup 
      ## or what handler we are currently in
   end if
   
   ## Now check hilite:
   put the dgHilitedLine of group "DataProd" into tLineToEdit
   if tLineToEdit = empty then
      beep
      Answer info "Please select a Product name to EDIT INFORMATION" 
      exit mouseup 
      ## See above
   end if
   
   ## It is easier to work with an array, since datagrids do this, too, internally!
   put the dgDataOfline[tLineToEdit] of grp "DataProd" into tArray
   
   ## This array tArray has the names of the columns as its KEYS, so we can easily 
   put tArray["price"] into tPrice
   put tArray["productname"] into tProdName
   ## etc. for all infos from the datagrid
   ## Change the name if they do not fit your column name, I am only guessing from the screenshot.
   
   ## Widget are a different beast so we need to set THE TEXT and not "put into...":
   set the text of widget "ProdPrice" of cd "EditProd" to tPrice   
   set the text of widget "ProdName" of cd "EditProd" to tProdName
   ## etc. see above...
   go to card "EditProd"
...
