I need help ! When Ever I open the gms_show_keyboard and clicking the on-screen keyboard, keyboard_string doesn`t changes anyway. it just appear to "".But when I use real keyboard it`s typing. How to solved this problem?

why no one reply for me :-(

Apologies for the delay. The built-in keyboard doesn't update the keyboard_string variable, because it caused some issues with GM:Studio. The global variable 'global.__xkb_text' is the replacement used internally by the extension.

thnk you

I need helping setting this up, I have it showingz etc, but how do I make it switch to the password box on the login? I type my username and thats all I can do, I can get to password.

Click/tap on the password box to change focus.

Hi!

I want to use this keyboard for chatting on the phone, but I dont find the "space" button. Where is it or how to use it?

Thank youu!!

You'll need to edit the window layout. Edit keyboard.scn (see the download), and add a new space-key somewhere (just set the contents to ' ' (without quotes), instead of a letter.)

See here for general info on editing windows:https://gamemakerserver.com/en/docs/article/custom_screens/

Hi, im making a game and im testing GMS and would be good to have more detailed info about .. im facing an issue with keyboard thing..

thanks in advance and congratz for the amazing service.. im getting to many problems than happy moments trying to use GMS instead making my on server and running in some virtual machine.. but i'm giving a try.. im sure some problems that im having is cuz im not a pro.. but would be very good to have more detailed info, maybe youtube videos as tutorials..

Please see gms_show_toggle_keyboard. It does exactly what you want :)

I can use this keyboard in other places besides the Login?
I can open it elsewhere but if I click does not work

sorry for my inglish :P

The keyboard only outputs to keyboard_string. It does not generate key (pressed/released) events :)

I can't seem to get this to work. I call this code but nothing ever displays.

This is indeed a bug. Will be fixed in 1.8.4 ;)

I can report the same problem. I am using my Android device to test the login system. The login window shows up and is functional, but when i tap the username textbox the keyboard isn't showing.

My obj_login has these 2 lines in the create event:
gms_show_login();
gms_show_keyboard();

I'm using GM Studio 1.4.1522 and GameMaker Server 1.8.3 (All version).

I finally got an emulator running. It seems like there is an issue where the Android runner connects, waits a number of seconds, and then returns the socket is not connected. Before I start reporting a bug I want to make sure this is happening on actual Android devices as well.

If you add this piece of code below the gms_settings call, what does it say?:

show_message(string(gms_info_isconnected()))

I get a native Android dialog window with the header containing the number 0 (zero) aligned to left and a single button labelled "OK". If i press the OK button, the room changes and i get the login window.

I pasted the code in GMS object's create event, right after gms_settings.

YYG support has told me that this is fixed in the latest GM:Studio release, but I haven't had time to verify this myself. There have also been some fixes to the keyboard in 1.8.4. Please let me know if it's working correctly.

Alright, seems like we're seeing the same then. For some reason the network_connect_raw function connects, disconnects, and returns that it's not connected. I'll go ahead and file a bug with YYG.

I have problem on Android. With windows all works fine, but on android I can write nothing to login screen. I called gms_show_keyboard() after gms_show_login, but nothing happens.

Do you see the login screen on android at all?

I see the login screen but when I clik usernamebox nothing happens and I can't do anything.

And when I click login button, it changes color but nothing else happens. In windows I can login with only Guest_.

I don't own an Android device, so it's pretty hard to test anything on android. I'll try to get an emulator running or something :)

Setting global.__kb_when_tb will make sure the keyboard always shows up when selecting a textbox. The function to enable this is missing for some reason, it will be added in 1.8.3.

Please make sure you're using the (All) version of the extension, and gms_network() is called in the async networking event.
