Show Go button android keyboard AIR AS3 Flash CC

Question

I have my Android AIR app almost ready, I'm using FlashCC, I am building a chat app, so there is an input text component on the stage and works fine, but I can't figure a way to show the "Done" or "Go" button on the keyboard to send a message, similar to the one shown on other apps like whatsapp, etc...

any ideas? I've searched on google for answers or docs on this but no luck.

Thanks!!

Answer 1

You need to add the following properties to your textinput:

returnKeyLabel="go" 
enter="validate(event)"

The ReturnKeyLabel has different options, but you need GO. When pressing the button 'GO' it triggers the event. GL

Answer 2

After reading a lot, and searching on Google, I came across the StageText option using AIR, it will handle the text and keyboard in a better way than using textInput .
