[xmlvm-users] Password text field and multi-line labels

[Adrian B. <kil...@gm...>]

Hey guys

First of all, this is a great project!

I'm trying to write an iPhone application using the components in the
org.xmlvm.iphone package. I'm missing some kind of password text field
component. I have no problem in extending the UITextField and add the
functionality, just want to make sure I did not overlook something?

Is there some kind of multi-line support in the UILabel component? The
text I have set is too long and runs over the window border. I can
split it into multiple labels, but that does not feel like the
appropriate solution...

Keep up the good work!
Adrian

no, we don't have password field support or multi-line UILabels. I think 
it is relatively easy to add the appropriate Java API for those two 
cases and map them to Objective-C, but it will take a little more effort 
to make sure it also runs in our Java Emulator. But any patch in that 
direction is very welcomed.

Adrian,

you did not overlook an existing implementation. Neither password
fields, nor multiline labels are supported by now. So feel free to
contribute to XMLVM. If you need help to get started don't hesitate to
contact us.

Re: [xmlvm-users] Password text field and multi-line labels

[Adrian B. <kil...@gm...>]

Hey guys

I have electronically signed the CLA.

The iPhone Java emulator seems to have problems with multiple text
fields on the same screen. Due to the fact that the
org.xmlvm.iphone.internal.Display class does only support one key
listener. I have fixed that. I assume the problem is just in the
emulator, once cross compiled the text fields would behave correctly.
I'm going to submit a patch, if my assumption about the no need to
touch the Objective-C stuff is right.

About the password fields and multiline labels, yes I can help there.
I'm quite good at building Java UI's but don't know anything about
Objective-C. So I need help with the Objective-C part.

Regards, Adrian

Adrian,

the event handling for key-strokes in the Java Emulator is very 
simplistic. Well, it currently can only handle one input widget. It 
sounds like your patch will address that. How do you switch input focus?

Re: [xmlvm-users] Password text field and multi-line labels

[Adrian B. <kil...@gm...>]

Hi Arno

That was quite easy. I added a property hasFocus to the
org.xmlvm.iphone.UIView class. The property hasFocus is set in the
touchedInsideView(...) method. The touchedInsideView(...) method is
called when a mouse click occurs, and if the click was on the current
component hasFocus is set to true. That way the last clicked element
knows that it has the focus. So the focus only works for mouse clicks,
but the iPhone does not have a tabulator key or arrows to switch input
focus anyway...

Now all I do in the org.xmlvm.iphone.internal.Display class is
iterating over the key listeners, ask each listener (which is a UIView
instance) whether it has the focus and send the typed character to the
component with the focus.

Regards, Adrian

Re: [xmlvm-users] Password text field and multi-line labels

[Arno P. <ar...@pu...>]

Adrian,

sounds like a reasonable approach. But I would suggest that the UIView 
that has the input focus calls back a method in the simulator to 
register itself (similar to the way the key window registers itself). 
This way you can avoid iterating over all UIViews to find the one that 
has the input focus (which you would need to do for every single event).

Why don't you make that change and submit a patch?

Arno
