Does not work

December 25th, 2024

It is supposedly built for one function - Hide the mobile keyboard based on an action! And it doesn't do that. Waste of money, time and effort! These guys are running a scam here.

False plugin title - doesn't hide, just removes focus

October 29th, 2024

This plugin doesn't hide the keyboard, it just removes focus from any input field. I was hoping to use it in a handheld scanner app where we didn't need the virtual keyboard, but simply unfocusing misses the point completely. Better documentation or a less misleading plugin title would've helped. The 'text me a link' button on the demo page doesn't work (for Dutch phone numbers at least).

Hey-hey,
This is Anton from the Zeroqode Support Team.

Thank you for your feedback and for bringing these issues to our attention.

We’re excited to inform you that we’ve updated the plugin to version 1.8.0, which now includes the hide() method for the virtual keyboard. This enhancement should better align with your needs, especially for applications like handheld scanners where hiding the keyboard is crucial.

You can test the updated plugin functionality on our demo page here: https://bubble.io/page?version=live&id=plugbee-iframes&name=unfocus-new&tab=Design

If the updated plugin meets your expectations, we’d greatly appreciate it if you could consider updating your review. Your feedback helps us improve and support our user community.

If you have any additional questions or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to reach out via our forum at forum.zeroqode.com or by email at support@zeroqode.com. We’re here to help!

Best Regards,
Anton

Hi Anton,

Thanks for your reply. I've re-installed the plugin (v1.8.0) and tested it as follows:
- Added the 'Mobilekeyboardstate A' to the canvas
- Created a button that set focus to an input field and runs 'ƒ Hide mobile/virtual keyboard' straight after
- Added another workflow as a backup, using 'Mobilekeyboardstate A Mobile keyboard open' followed by 'ƒ Hide mobile/virtual keyboard'
- Tested the page on a Zebra TC21, running Android 11 and Chrome 130.0.6723.73

Unfortunately the virtual keyboard popped up and did not close automatically. Am I missing anything?

For now, I've fixed the issue by running a custom bit of JS in the app (using the Math.js Local Lite plugin) whenever a focus is set, with quite satisfying results:

yourInput = document.getElementById('YourInputFieldId');
yourInput.readOnly = true;
yourInput.focus();
setTimeout(function(){document.getElementById('YourInputFieldId').readOnly = false;}, 50);
