Gian:

Thank you for the input.

I tried it a little bit and found that mousearea onPressed would not trigger up past Loader, so as a universal pattern it will not work.

In fact, many controls (Listview,etc) suck up the mouse events when those mouse/touch events SHOULD cause the keyboard to retract.

I am going to put a registration into my custom controls that application wide will register themselves -> onFocusFocusChanged: C++Invokable(thisqmlobject,thisqmlobject.activefocus) and every time a specific control gains focus, it will register itself and then I will filter on events to compare the QMouseEvent/QTouchEvent with the registered QObject* (Qml Item) to see whether the keyboard should retract.

This will separate my code from all the event snarfing components in the QML item stack.

I think this is a PC legacy behavior not suited to touch.

Thanks,

md

Hello Mark,
I achieve that on mobile using a simple MouseArea that cover all the screen and 
it’s under all other active elements.
When that MouseArea is touched, I call Qt.inputMethod.hide() … and that’s it.
So, if the user touch outside any button, textfield, etc… then that touch will 
reach the underlying MouseArea that will call the hide on keyboard.

Ciao,
Gianluca.

Hello List:

Anybody have a tip or suggestion for IOS/Android Qt 5.5.1 -> Qt 5.6.0 Beta

I am using a TextField and the keyboard pops up whenever the input control
receives focus.

But I want the TextField to lose focus whenever you click/touch
outside of the control.

Not Just Tab & Enter that are VERY PC centric, not tablet/smartphone concepts.

Right now, the blinking cursor remains on the field and the
Android/IOS keyboard remains visible
when you use your finger and touch some where outside of the TextField.

Obviously, I want the keyboard to REMAIN if the user clicks on ANOTHER
TextField.

Is there a QML way to do this?

I have some C++ and event filter ideas to make this happen, but those
are brute force ideas and there might be something that I don't see in
the QML TextField documentation.

Thanks,
