[Solved]On-screen keyboard

alexQt

Hi ! Should the standard on-screen keyboard to appear when the focus is on LineEdit or other text components? If yes, why is it not happening? I use standard components from the repository in my Symbian application. Help solve the problem, please.

are you doing any extra stuff for example installing your own QInputContext ? May be you can put your sample code here..

Is anything happening when you focus on LineEdit? Can you give any additional details what kind of application (QML, QWidgets, QWebView, ...) you are having?

I have QWidget application for Mobile (Symbian) devices. I dragged LineEdit from repository and didn't change any parametres. On my phone, when I click on it, the cursor appears only.

Hmm. What Symbian device is that? And which Qt version?

There's a standard keyboard? We're implementing our own and have to check the QApplication::focusWidget() function.

Native partial keyboard (aka non-fullscreen editing mode, aka splitview) for Qt/Symbian is supported starting from Qt 4.7.4. See https://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-16572 for details.

The traditional symbian editing mode (fullscreen "middle state") should work just by focusing a text editable widget.

alexQt, the QLineEdit should open the fullscreen keyboard automatically. If it doesn't, could you try and send a QEvent::RequestSoftwareInputPanel event to it.
