Hi,

I am trying to call a keyboard - which I have done successfully starttextinput(). It will disappear when I press ESC on windows but I cannot get it to disappear on android. All the keyboard and associated graphics cover the app. How can I use stoptextinput().

Any help gratefully received

Thanks

Look at the example i posted (It's a function so you have to call it). here it is again;
Notice how it loops until the input is complete.
I would just take this function and incorporate it into your code.

+ Code Snippet

Function Input(textin$,length)

    SetCursorBlinkTime(0.5)
    SetTextInputMaxChars(length)
    StartTextInput(textin$)

    do
        sync()
        state=GetTextInputState()
        c=GetLastChar()
        if GetTextInputCompleted()
            if GetTextInputCancelled()
                text$=textin$
                exit
            else
                text$=GetTextInput()
                exit
            endif
        endif

    loop

    StopTextInput()
    sync()

endfunction text$

Thanks you are a star! There was another issue that the "id" was stuck at a constant and kept calling the function but I did not need to post that issue!
