console.input_alert -- show only number pad instead of full keyboard?
-
I am wanting to use console.input_alert to take user input, but would like it to show the numpad instead of a full keyboard. Is this possible?
-
@claggs I do not believe so. Your best bet is to create a ui number pad and your own ui input alert.

The
uimodule has the option to use various keyboards for text fields, the ones you are probably looking for areKEYBOARD_DECIMAL_PAD,KEYBOARD_NUMBERS,KEYBOARD_NUMBER_PADandKEYBOARD_PHONE_PAD. On an iPad they all just display the regular number keyboard section (.?123), but on an iPhone they will most likely display different number pads. As I don't own an iPhone and the documentation doesn't go into much detail, I can't say what exactly the differences between the four keyboard types are. -
@dgelessus Thank you, I was unaware of this feature.
