I've update to 7.1.0 and I tried 8 also but I still get the same message dialogue. I add this has only occured after upgrading to El Capitan.

just how did you 'shake the SDK' ?
i've just installed El Capitan and I've not had this problem previously

You’re quite right, I don’t see ‘search’ as a supported keyboard type either.
However new Android phones display a magnifying glass instead of a return key. Take a look at search in the email client, the contacts list, and their messenger. Only very early models of Android just relied on the return ...

Hello all
I'm trying to get the android keyboard to show the search magnifying glass instead of the return key
Ive tried:
on keyboardActivated
--
if the short name of the selectedfield = "search" then
focus on fld "search"
if environment() = "mobile" then
mobileSetKeyboardType "search"
--input ...

Ok. I've sorted it, and the answer is:
--
on returninfield
--
if environment() <> "mobile" then
pass returninfield
end if
--
if the short name of the selectedfield = "field3" then
go card"ONE"
end if
--
end returninfield

Ok. I've sorted it, and the answer is:
--
on returninfield
--
if environment() <> "mobile" then
answer "is environmentmobile?"
pass returninfield
end if
--
if the short name of the selectedfield = "field3" then
go card"ONE"
end if
--
end returninfield

:D

hi all
I've used the code below once before and it worked.
I'm trying to use the same code again and when I press the Android keyboard return all I get is a return in the selected field and not navigating to the next card. Any thoughts as to where I've gone wrong? You will see in the code I've ...

Well this is interesting....
The code you suggest navigates from one field to the next but does not navigate to the next page.
I noticed that line 7 misses out 'fld'
'if the short name of the selectedfield = "Field_Phone#" then'
so I removed it from
'if the short name of the selectedfield = fld ...

supplemental ;-)
I have focus in the first field, the keyboard automatically opens and on pressing return I can move to the next field.
The next press of return I want to go to the next card. I wrote this (and many others like it):

on returninfield
--
if environment() = "mobile" then
if focus ...

on opencard
focus on fld "name of your field here"
end opencard

works a treat, I did not realise it would be so easy.
Thanks Ron

Hi all,
Working on an Android application and I'm trying to have a keyboard open automatically on openCard. I dont want the user to have to touch the text field to have to launch the keypad, I want the keypad to be there when the card opens. Can anyone help? Thanks Ron.

Hi guys, I plan a card with a multi row/column grid or table.
The cells will contain all the text necessary through out the stack.
When a card loads, it will look at the grid/table card and request the appropriate text to populate the fields and buttons on that card.
That way I can maintain the ...

Hi all, with lots of help from LiveCode's ever patient Neil Roger I have cracked this. I enclose an example of how to get small amounts of data out from an Android app without resorting to SQL.
The enclosed demo shows a random number generated in livecode. You navigate to the next page and the ...

Hi MaxV
Yes, I've done the 'put the dgData of group', rounded up all the data.
I used the Export data to XML script from the lesson How Do I Export Data From A Data Grid, but it is what to do with the data next I cant do.
'set the clipboardData' does not work on Android unfortunately otherwise it ...

Hi all
I'm having real problems with data on Android - it is the first time I've tried this.
I have collected a small amount of data, 30 fields worth, and can display it in a data grid, on Android.
I need to be able to somehow transfer that data to an email, or at least get it off the handset ...
