I have managed to force disabling of prediction by using a hidden EditText and setting the input type: However this does not generate any key events when typing. |
|
The only progress I have made is using the EditText workaround, pack one into the view hierarchy, then you can add a change watcher: mTextEdit.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
@Override
public void onTextChanged(...) {
// here we can get the current state of the text field...
});Unfortunately I cannot figure out how to reverse-engineer key events, it is reporting the current state. But it's a start... |
|
I followed that line of thought for a while but then realised that normal keyboard will get double-events because they get keys as well. |

On a Samsing Galaxy S10, running Android 10 (this was not an issue with the keyboard they shipped in Android 9) key events are no longer fired when the (default) predictive text is turned on.
Some other apps, such as Termux (termux/termux-app#686) report that words appear after space/enter etc - however that is not true for gomobile. Each time a word should display a single "unknown key code" event is fired and no characters.
What version of Go are you using (
go version)?1.12, 1.13, 1.14
Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?
Yes
What operating system and processor architecture are you using (
go env)?I think the environment on the Android phone is most relevant, but I don't know what to provide.
Code works fine on older keyboards, or if you turn off the predictive text
What did you do?
What did you expect to see?
I want to see characters as they are entered. There are various docs about how to disable prediction (such as https://developer.android.com/reference/android/text/InputType#TYPE_NULL) but I cannot figure out how to set those options in a default gomobile app, as the root view does not seem to be configurable in GoNativeActivity.java.
What did you see instead?
(as above)
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
