onTextChanged signal on Android

[Francky033]

Hello,

I have a little problem with a qml box under Android (Qt 5.15.0)
When I type text in this TextInput (see below), a TextChanged signal is only emitted when I press ENTER on the Android virtual keyboard. I would like the signal to be sent for each new letter I type. This would allow me to make suggestions during text input.

How can I do this?

Under Windows and Linux, everything works well this way

Thanks !

TextInput {
                 id: textInput
                 y: 25

                 height: 30
                 color: "#ffffff"
                 text: anchorselection.search
                 anchors.right: busyIndicator.left
                 anchors.rightMargin: 10
                 anchors.left: image3.right
                 anchors.leftMargin: 10
                 anchors.bottom: parent.bottom
                 anchors.bottomMargin: 0
                 activeFocusOnPress: anchorselection.Android
                 focus: !anchorselection.Android
                 cursorVisible: true
                 font.family: "Tahoma"
                 font.pixelSize: 20

                 Rectangle {
                     color: "#1e252f"
                     anchors.fill: parent
                     z: -1
                 }

                 inputMethodHints: Qt.ImhNoPredictiveText

                 onTextChanged: {
                     if (anchorselection.search !== textInput.text)
                         anchorselection.checkPost_Search(textInput.text)

                 }
             }

@Francky033
Have you tried onTextEdited ?

[Francky033]

Si. Yes, it gives the same result...

@Francky033 on Android and iOS you have to check if displayText changed to get each entered letter. getting text changed you know user hits ENTER
I'm using onDisplayTextChanged for all my search fields
curios: on macOS you get text changed for each letter

Thank you eekscorner!

Changing onTextChanged to onDisplayTextChanged effectively sends a signal when typing on the keyboard.

The problem is that textInput.text is equal to "" until the user presses ENTER or SPACE.

How do I retrieve text from textInput while typing?

Thanks !

@Francky033 try to set textInput.text from onDisplayTextChanged

[Francky033]

After these modifications, everything works properly!

Thank you all!
