Unable to open keyboard when focusing programmatically on device about cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard HOT 9 OPEN

Yeah you can do that!! here's a example:
<ion-item><ion-input type="tel" placeholder="WhatEverYouWantToShow"></ion-input></ion-item>
and you see that input type with "tel" option, diference between "tel" and "number" its based on the character in the keyboard

here 2 Screenshot!!

Input with "tel"

input with "number"

PD. input number maybe show different in Os this is from Android Studio Simulator with Oreo 8.1 keyboard
PD2. Tested in both Os's

Hi @wolfblazer ,

Thanks for reply. Yes, you're right. it display keyboard when we run app in emulator but not on device. So, I created a new plugin which solves this problem

@bhanu7755 that's Weird 😞 Because on device i Still get the same Keyboard Tested on >4.4 Android and iOS >11.3

@wolfblazer No idea mate.. I still see alpha numeric keyboard instead of number keyboard even though I use input type as "tel" or "number"

from cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard.

perhaps this ticket should be redirected at adding the ability to explicitly specify the keyboard type to show...

for example, I have an interface where I need the user to enter an IP address, which is best with a numeric keypad (type="number"), but actually needs a different type because it's got 4 sections separated by full stops.

don't you guys think a feature like this would solve both this issue's problem as well as my own?

from cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard.

So this is a feature request to add types to Keyboard.show() method (or a new method), right?

If not I don't understand the problem, if you manually focus on an input, the keyboard is show based on its type.

Yes.. I wrote a plugin to get my job done

Based on that plugin description, it doesn’t seem to do what you were asking here or I didn’t understand it right.

from cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard.

just to chime in here with my two cents' worth: I still feel that this would be best solved if we could specify which keyboard to open by rules on the ion-input tag itself.

for example: <ion-input type="text" board-type="numeric"></ion-input> would apply the type="text" to the UI element it creates, while the keyboard that opens would show a numeric keypad.

with that said, I'm actually not sure if this would require any changes to this keyboard plugin directly though.. guess that depends on (a) where the ion-input component (directive??) is defined and (b) whether cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard has a way for us to programmatically specify which keyboard interface we want to show.
