sfNumericTextBox does not shows comma and dots on virtual keyboard on Samsung Devices

When using a sfNumericTextBox with 2 decimal cases, the keyboard is not showing (dot and commas) on Samsung Devices. So it's impossible to enter decimal values.



It seems to happens only on Samsung Devices. The language of the devices is Portuguese - BR.

How can I workaround this?

It's even worse. I think it does not work at all with PTBR keyboards.

I was able to enter the value 5,5 using my Xiaomi MiA2, but it saves me 55 instead of 5.5.

Here in Brasil, we use, for decimal separator.

Hi Cezar,  
 
Greetings from Syncfusion. 
 
Query 1:  it's impossible to enter decimal values. 
 
Yes, there is an issue in the frame work that the decimal separator key (comma) is not shown in the keyboard on SAMSUNG devices. You can refer it in the below link.  
   
  
We made an improvement to resolve the above issue is, allows the dot as comma separator for the culture which is based on Azerty keyboard. But the value will be updated with comma after the control is unfocused. This improvement has been moved in our Volume 1 2019 SP1 release v 17.1.0.47 (feedback link). 
 
Query 2: I was able to enter the value 5,5 using my Xiaomi MiA2, but it saves me 55 instead of 5.5. 
 
We have already fixed the issue. We have created a patch for this fix.

Hello Rachel,

We are having the same issue reported, using the nuget that was released yesterday.

Do you guys have any workaround to make the comma and dot appear of Samsung devices ?

Best Regards,
Ivo Ventura

It seems to work! My client will test it and I will tell here if it worked!

Edit.: It still does not work as expected! The user was able to enter the correct value only once, then on next fields it didn't worked anymore.

CE Cezar September 11, 2019 06:16 PM UTC

I think I found another detail:


The main problem NOW seems to be using Maximum.

When The Maximum is 50!

1.1 = Works
9.9 = Works
12.1 = Doesn't work! It becomes 50!

Hi Cezar, 
   
We have already fixed the reported issue at our end. Moreover, we have considering the few more important cases along with this fix. So, we will provide patch for this issue on September 18th, 2019. However, the consolidated fix will be available in the Volume 3 2019 main release which is scheduled to be available in the last week of September.

Rachel. 


CE Cezar September 23, 2019 06:08 PM UTC

Is the patch ready? Where can I download it?


CE Cezar September 23, 2019 07:48 PM UTC

I just tested it with 17.3.0.9 and it's still not working. Not even the previous patch seems to be included there.

RA Rachel A Syncfusion Team September 24, 2019 07:21 AM UTC

Hi Cezar, 
 
Sorry for the inconvenience. 
 
We are not able to move this fix to the beta version because of the time constraint in covering all the possible scenarios. But now we have generated custom NuGet in the version 17.3.0.9 by including all the reported issues and as we mentioned earlier the fix will be moved in the Vol 3 main release which is scheduled to be available on first week of October. 
 
 
Please check after clearing the NuGet cache as mentioned in this link before referring the above NuGet and confirm us whether you are able to resolve the issue. 
 
Note: The patch support is not available for the weekly NuGet version and beta version. 
 
Thanks, 
Rachel.

Hi Rachel,

for me the keyboard is also not showing the comma (Samsung Galaxy S10e, Android 9).
The language of the device is german and I setted the SfNumericBox culture in code to "de-DE".

I already installed "CustomNuGet1338797853" and with this its still not working.

Also when typing in only a dot "." then my app crashes with a "System.FormatException: 'Input string was not in a correct format.'".

Looking forward for your help.

Kind regards,
Thomas B.

LR Lakshmi Radha Krishnan Syncfusion Team October 1, 2019 02:19 PM UTC

It's the year 2025, I know Xamarin has been deprecated, but this problem still exists. It happens on Samsung Keyboards using Language PTBR.


AA Aarthi Arjunan Syncfusion Team February 4, 2025 11:57 AM UTC

Hi Cezar,

 

We checked the reported issue and confirmed that with the PT-BR language, we can type a dot using the Samsung keyboard, and the values update correctly in SfNumericTextBox. However, the comma button is disabled on the Samsung keyboard. We observed the same behavior in the framework Entry when setting the keyboard to numeric, where the comma button remains disabled.

 

Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any queries.

 

Regards,

Aarthi A.
