Hi,

I am in the process of developing an IME application. I want to show the key board correponding to the text area. Say, numer keypad when on phone numer filed and '.com' button when on url filed etc.

As per documnetation Tizen supports several input panel styles. But no input panel style is recevied by IME app when edit fields of default applications are selected.Input Panel style is not received by IME app from any of Messages, url fileds of browser, phone number filed of add contact, email field of add contact etc,. Input panel style is received only from Memo application's edit field.

As my IME app is receiving the Input panel style from Memo application through SetInputPanelStyle and caps mode from all default apps through SetCapsModeEnabled , I am sure that InputMethodProvider is properly set.

Am I missing something? Or is it that the default apps are immature as of now? Could someone please guide me regarding the same?

I am using 2.2.1 SDK and emulator.

Thanks in advance,

Bharath Reddy

Hi,
On Tizen 2.2.1 M0 device with modified IME App example I was able to get SetInputPanelStyle() call for Memo app only (first time). And SetInputPanelStyle() is not called for Memo app after another default apps were launched.
I have checked IME App example using Web app with input tag :type="text",type="number",type="email") on device and emulator also.
SetInputPanelStyle() is not called also and there is no another API in namespace Tizen::Ui::Ime which could detect input style..
(I have checked using Web app with input tag :type="text",type="number",type="email") on device and emulator.
Per my opinion it looks like a bug.
