QML Keyboard for touch screen

[rotoZOOM]

In my example I do
QCoreApplication::postEvent(_target, key_event_press);
QCoreApplication::postEvent(_target, key_event_release);

that, I believe, emulate click on to the key.

What is the _target ? Is it the TextInput ?

[rotoZOOM]

It is QWidget object, that setted by client and accept QKeyEvent

[aabc]

Did you try it with a QML Item ?

[rotoZOOM]

No, I didn't. What's difference between QML Item and QWidget*?
If you can obtain QTextInput QWidget pointer (and you can), than it'll be work.

[aabc]

I try it and it din't work

[rotoZOOM]

Ok, as soon as I have time I'll check it.

[aabc]

Thanks.
I'll wait

you can also try maliit. Its a full framework for input methods. Has virtual keyboards also. I think they have QML keyboards as well now.

i know its pretty late,
but i just stumbled upon colibri and i had (as rodrigob) quite a hard time to figure how to use clkeyboard together with a lineedit. But it is possible by
letting the lineedit read the keyboard internal text.
So basically the lineedit is just used to show a text which belongs to the keyboard itself!

@CLLineEdit{
id: textInput
text: keyboard.text
}
Rectangle{
height: 100
width: 200
color: "black"
CLKeyboard{
id: keyboard
anchors.fill: parent
}
}
