Customizing the Return Key in SFAutoComplete

[Sasko Mateski]

Hi,

Is it possible to Customize the keyboard Return Key in SFAutoComplete like it's possible with the Xamarin.Forms Entry control?

Thanks,

Sasko

Hi Sasko, 

  

Thank you for using Syncfusion products. 

  

We are not clear with your exact requirement with the SfAutoComplete contol customization with the Return Key. Can you please provide additional information on which platform you would like to customize and in what terms the button needs to be customized which will help us check on it and provide you a better solution.

Hi,

The Xamarin.Forms Entry control has a ReturnType property which can be set to one of the ReturnType enum values:

• Default – indicates that no specific return key is required and that the platform default will be used.
• Done – indicates a "Done" return key.
• Go – indicates a "Go" return key.
• Next – indicates a "Next" return key.
• Search – indicates a "Search" return key.
• Send – indicates a "Send" return key.

with the intention of customizing the appearance of the return key on the soft keyboard.

I'm interested in achieving this with the soft keyboard shown when the SFAutoComplete control has focus, on the Android platform.

Hi Sasko, 

 

We can achieve your requirement of customizing the Return button of the softkeyboard in SfAutoComplete using the CustomRenderer as shown below. 

 

protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<SfAutoComplete> e) 

        { 

            base.OnElementChanged(e); 

            if (Control != null) 

            { 

                Control.GetAutoEditText().ImeOptions = Android.Views.InputMethods.ImeAction.Send; 

            } 

        } 

 

We have created a simple sample as per your requirement and it is available in the below link.

Starting with version 16.4.0.42 we can't inherit SfAutocomplete and create a custom renderer.

It crashes.
