SfAutoComplete with Numeric Keyboard on Android

[nvrsttl]

Hi,

I want to replace a SearchBar with an SfAutoComplete control.

I'm trying to achieve the same thing with SfAutoComplete

Instead of the standard keyboard:

The numeric keyboard (InputTypes.ClassNumber) should be displayed:

Hi Thomas,

Greetings from Syncfusion.

We would like to let you know that your requirement could be achieved by using Custom Renderer. We have set the Keyboard using Renderer Class. We have prepared the same with SfAutoComplete. Please have the sample from the below link,

Sample Link: https://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/directtrac/general/ze/AutoCompleteNumeric-141243053

Code Snippet: 

Android: 

protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<SfAutoComplete> e)
        {
            base.OnElementChanged(e);
            if (Control != null)
            {
                Control.GetAutoEditText().InputType = Android.Text.InputTypes.ClassNumber;
            }
        } 

iOS: 

protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<SfAutoComplete> e)
        {
            base.OnElementChanged(e);
            if (Control != null)
            {
                Control.TextField.KeyboardType = UIKeyboardType.NumberPad;
            }
        } 

UWP: 

protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<Syncfusion.SfAutoComplete.XForms.SfAutoComplete> e)
        {
            base.OnElementChanged(e);
            if (Control != null)
            {
                var scope = new InputScope();
                var name = new InputScopeName();
                name.NameValue = InputScopeNameValue.Number;
                scope.Names.Add(name);
                Control.InputScope = scope;
            }
        }
