Lemur TextField doesnt work as expected in Android

So is there a reliable way to use TextField for editing text in my app or should I use regular Android EditText compnent?

You can use the following:

SoftTextDialogInputListener l = new SoftTextDialogInputListener() {
	@Override
	public void onSoftText(int action, String text) {
		System.out.println("Softtext event: " + text);
	}
};
JmeSystem.getSoftTextDialogInput().requestDialog(SoftTextDialogInput.TEXT_ENTRY_DIALOG, "GIMME TEXT", "", l);

I think you can get into a Lemur Button’s onFocus or onClick and create a popup every time presses a textfield. Then, you can make the listener write text into the Lemur TextField.
This seems like the best solution as of now, as it simply bypasses jme and uses Android’s EditText.

Android & Lemur/jME not cooperating

The app is a hexagonal map editor. This means I need: some way to let the user place a tile (done) some way to let the user describe what kind of tile they want to place (half-done, uses Lemur) to save the file, which needs: a way to save/load the scene (done, uses…

add a RawInputListener and log what you get when entering numbers and the other keys that aren’t working

So I did that (after 6 months) and I got no event on practically all keys. Typing ‘ß’ and other irrelevant keys yielded weird results.

I created a gist with a main application, a raw input listener, and an example of a log:

@adi.barda, could you maybe try it out? It would be interesting to see what results you get, both on the keys that work and that don’t.
