Text Input opens keyboard and shifts whole game view upward

Hi, I have a cognitive test in Construct 3 with multiple Text Input fields for answers (numers).

When the user taps an input, the phone keyboard opens and the whole game view shifts upward, so part of the test moves on screen.

What is the best way to handle this in Construct 3?

Thanks in advance for help :)

Try searching the forum, there have been many posts about this. I don't think there is a definite solution, but you might find some useful tips.

There are also virtual keyboards you can try instead of the system one.

Hi.

This is indeed a problem.

And although this issue has been fixed in the latest versions of Construct 3 and Android,

But there are still many players using various older Android versions. You don’t want to lose them, and besides, they can significantly lower your store rating.

I had to use a custom keyboard for all players. That way, everything looks the same for everyone.

Thanks for the reply, the best option for me was to create a new keyboard

When the keyboard pops up for a response, I have a hidden timer set to go off after a certain amount of time, at which point I offer to highlight the relevant keys in exchange for a tip, currency, or an ad.

This trick works well and isn't as intrusive to the player as mandatory ads.
