Mobile Support Functions with RapaGUI

Post by PEB »

Now that RapaGUI is available for Android, there are a few mobile support functions that would be handy to have when using a RapaGUI display, such as:
ShowKeyboard(), HideKeyboard(), and ChangeOrientation()

Hmm, AFAIR ShowKeyboard() and HideKeyboard() should work already. Have you tested them?

For orientation, RapaGUI 2.0 has a new Window.Orientation [ISG] tag which you can set to "Device", "Portrait", or "Landscape". "Device" is the default orientation. This should do the trick...

I just ran some tests, and confirmed that ShowKeyboard() and HideKeyboard() do already work with RapaGUI.

(Window.Orientation also works just as you described.)

Is there a way to detect when the user changes the orientation?

Trygin to catch the OrientationChange through InstallEventHandler() doesn't seem to work with RapaGUI on Android.

Have you tried listening to Window.Orientation?

Just tried it, and it works.
Thanks!
(I really should have thought to try that myself.)
