It will come by default, on which OS you are testing

I have OS 2.2 and the keyboard doesn't appear either.

It looks like it doesn't see the input. I tap the field, where username should be typed, but the keyboard does not appear. It works fine in the browser version of the game, but in Tizen webapp, the event is seen, but kb doesn't appear.

Is that correct: ?

<input name="email" type="text" placeholder=""/>

$("input[name=\"email\"]").focus(function() {

alert( "Handler for input called." );

});

This code works well, did you see any crushs or errors in emulator log. On which OS you re working (Ubuntu/Windows/mac) ?

This methods, works, I cee the reaction, but it I can't see the keyboard. Should I change or put something in config.xml? Maybe the keyboard is hidden behind some other layers?

OS is Windows. We have also a trial device from Samsung and there is the same problem.

Its very annoying, can you please test the sample app Winset->Programming Apps->Entry and check whether its working or not. No additional entry is required in config file for keyboard visibility.

It works, and worse for me, when I launch a new project with only one input, it works too. So the error must me somewhere in the code of my game.

I am on WIndows 8 - using the Tizen 2.2 emulator. When I tap the text field i see it hilite but no keyboard appears. I right-click the emulator and turn on the hardware keyboard - it appears as if the emulator sees the "external" device but typing doesn't do anything either.

I didnt' see any errors in the log - the console was clean. I attempted to try to force the keyboard to appear by inserting an onclick="this.focus()" but that didnt do anything.

I tried running the Bluetooth sample app and the keybaord didnt work for it either.

 

I then tried the Task sample app and the keyboard did work in that case. I looked at the code ... as you mentioend its pretty simple i have the exact same thing in my app.

Offically there is no support for Windows8, kindly log a bug in JIRA for help

Are you saying that the Emulator behaves differently on Windows 8?

Lakshmi Grandhi

It should not ideally, but not sure there might some issue cannot assure since its not part of supported OS

I am new to the platform and the question is too old but I am writing this reply so that it might be helpful for someone.

When I tried to creat a clock face application and specify the following in my config.xml file - it stops the keyboard from appearing:
<tizen:category name="http: //tizen.org/category/wearable_clock"/>

If I remove the above line - the keyboard appears but my app is not shown as clock face.
I am also looking for solution to my issue as I want the app registered as clock face with the support for keyboard as well.
