I created a simple text input using a virtual keyboard, It all works fine but when I close the virtual keyboard when testing it on my phone using the AppGameKit Player app it creates a flashing background where the keyboard was, this shows up around the borders of the screen.

Is this a known issue?

What version of AppGameKit are you working with?

What version is your Player and where did you get it?

Do you have a custom keyboard of any sort on your phone?

What phone are you using?

What version of Android is on your phone?

I have tried 2 versions of the AppGameKit player app, the one on the google play store, and the one on the TGC product downloads page, both have the same problem. It's the latest version.

I'm using a virtual keyboard on the phone

Phone is Sony Xperia Tipo

Android version 4.0.4

What version of AppGameKit IDE are you running?

Is your virtual keyboard the one that came with the phone (like most that don't have actual ones do) or did you add one of the special ones that are available (and I think Google even has one)?

I will repeat this question for the third time: What version of AppGameKit IDE are you running?

If your IDE version is not the same as your Player version, you may be running into issues with that.

EDIT: Also, can you please show me the code you are using? I need to know which input method you are using.

Sorry I was in a rush before, the IDE is says "Build 107" in the about page, but I installed the latest version from the TGC product downloads page which is v108 Beta15

Heres some of the code

I just ran your code using v10815 IDE and Player (fresh download from Play Store) on my Toshiba 7" Thrive Android 4.0.4 device.

I also tested on my 2.3.3 device and my 4.1.1 phone.

And didn't have any of the issues you mentioned.

So, either it is something strange with your phone or your installation. And I cannot do anymore to help at this point.

Maybe someone else can. Does anyone out there have the same phone?

That's actually quite comforting knowing that the error doesn't happen on everyone elses phone! If it's just mine then I don't mind!

I have random issues with edit boxes on my HTC dinc 2
I've been unimpressed with the stability of the edit boxes and virtual keyboard handling.
Especially that we're missing commands to tell if the keyboard is active and the screen size when active. Its half baked at best and basic functionality required for app development.

Maybe you can try toggling SetEditBoxFocus back on then off after it initially loses focus and before the next sync call. That might force the keyboard to reset.

I had the exact same issue on the Samsung note 2,but after numerous emails Paul fixed it. It seems to be a hardware issue with certain devices. In the end, I coded my own keyboard routine that circumvented the issue altogether and added stuff like password support etc. Have a look at my other posts, help yourself if you think you could mod it to suit your needs. It's in my new game already, and I've had no issues.
