Hiding the virtual keyboard for a SfNumericEntry control
Hi,
I am writing an app that has a simple page that contains
a SfNumericEntry control and a button. In the Android emulator, when I click on the SfNumericEntry, the number keyboard appears and everything works fine. But when I hit the button, the numeric keyboard does not disappear.
This behavior also occurs for regular Entry and Editor Maui controls as well. You can see it if you create a default Maui app and add an Entry control at the bottom of the MainPage.xaml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
x:Class="Tabular.Test.App.MainPage">
<ScrollView>
<VerticalStackLayout
Spacing="25"
Padding="30,0"
VerticalOptions="Center">
<Image
Source="dotnet_bot.png"
SemanticProperties.Description="Cute dot net bot waving hi to you!"
HeightRequest="200"
HorizontalOptions="Center" />
<Label
Text="Hello, World!"
SemanticProperties.HeadingLevel="Level1"
FontSize="32"
HorizontalOptions="Center" />
<Label
Text="Welcome to .NET Multi-platform App UI"
SemanticProperties.HeadingLevel="Level2"
SemanticProperties.Description="Welcome to dot net Multi platform App U I"
FontSize="18"
HorizontalOptions="Center" />
<Button
x:Name="CounterBtn"
Text="Click me"
SemanticProperties.Hint="Counts the number of times you click"
Clicked="OnCounterClicked"
HorizontalOptions="Center" />
<Entry x:Name="TestEntry"
HorizontalOptions="CenterAndExpand"
VerticalOptions="End"/>
</VerticalStackLayout>
</ScrollView>
</ContentPage>
Clicking on the Entry control displays the virtual keyboard:
But when I click on the button, the keyboard remains:
For a regular Maui Entry control, I can intercept the Unfocused event and call the HideKeyboardAsync() method:
private void TestEntry_Unfocused(object sender, FocusEventArgs e)
{
((Entry)sender).HideKeyboardAsync(default);
}
However, the SfNumericEntry control does not contain such a method. Is there any way to hide the virtual SfNumericEntry keyboard programmatically?
Thanks for your assistance!
