QML TextField and overlay keyboard

[sierdzio]

You can get keyboardRectangle() from Qt.inputMethod and use that information to scroll your view.

@sierdzio Thank you for your fast answer. Have you a little example for me how I can use this?

[sierdzio]

I don't, unfortunately.

Some hackish solution is available here and here.

@sierdzio Thank you, this helps a lot

Does anyone know how to move the flickable to a specific height. I`ve tested a bit with flickable.flick, but this seems not the proper way

[sierdzio]

Try setting contentX or contentY properties.

@sierdzio Whith which function should i test it? Flickable does not have a function to move it programmaticaly besides flick( )

contenxtX is a property. Just set it's value to any value you need and it will update the position automatically.

For example:

Button {
  onClicked: flickable.contentY += 100
}

Flicakble {
  id: flickable
  // some contents
}

Or:

Flickable {
  id: flickable
  contentY: keyboardRect.height
}

Rectangle {
  id: keyboardRect
  height: keyboardVisible? 500 : 0
}

@sierdzio Shame on me. I thought contentY would be readOnly. I should go to bed and sleep. Thank you for your patience and for your example

Hehe, no worries. This property actually sounds almost as if it should be read-only. Before I wrote my reply I checked several times if it was writable or not, because I felt intuitively that it could not be :-) So, I understand you 100% here :D
