Hi,

I layout and position an input field by javascript and css.

When I touch the input field a keyboard opens and the onclick – event is fired that does changing the layout and position of the input field for me.

If I now touch the back button the keyboard is closed but NO onback-event is fired.
If the back-button is touched a second time after the keyboard is closed the onback-event is fired and changes layout and position as expected

But I need a mechanism to fire the onback event that changes layout and position of the input field if the back-button is touched the FIRST time.

How can I achieve this ?

On the internet someone suggested to add
android: windowSoftInputMode = “adjustPan”
to the Manifest.xml file. That should solve the problem.

How can I change the androidmanifest.xml file using mobione ? Is this possible ?

Or does there exist any other approach to solve the problem ?

Please help me 🙂

Hi,

Well, off the top of my head, as you seem to be implementing a lot of custom code (and without me seeing it), if possible I would try coding your back button as well. If this is the button widget you can use the run javascript on click action.
Using: $(‘#yourElement’).blur(); should hide the keyboard, then you should be able to follow that with your history.back() call or a direct call to your screen, depending on your preference.

If this does not work let me know and Ill investigate a bit more.

Thank you very much for your reply brandon,

I need to use the device back button. To get an intuitive look and feel of my app. So I want to avoid creating my own back button using the button widget.

If no keyboard is visible, the back-button works as expected and fires an onback event each time being touched.

But if the keyboard is active, it closes it at the first touch without to fire the onback event and at the next touch (without keyboard) it fires the onback event as expected.

How can I convince the device back button to close the keyboard and to fire the onback event or any event else at the same touch. After the keyboard closed I need to perform javascript action without user activity.

What about the Manifest.xml file entry? Can I do that with mobione ?

Any help would be very apreciated !

Hi,

The manifest file is not editable in Mobione. You could actually grab the Cordova/Phonegap API and intercept the back button: http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.9.0/cordova_events_events.md.html#backbutton

Something like:

document.addEventListener(“backbutton”, onBackKeyDown, false);

function onBackKeyDown() {
// Handle the back button
//Your Override code to hide the keyboard, maybe: $(‘#your_textboxID’).blur();
alert(‘Back button pressed’); //show you have overridden the back button
}
