Onscreen keyboard doesn't enter text into IText on Android

[kenrett]

I tried this with both the stock browser and Chrome. Seems to be an issue with android itself... Darbs commented on another issue that android doesn't support keypress events, which is why it doesn't work, but I have not checked this myself.

I am facing the same issue.
I am working with fabric v1.4.12 and I have made the tests on
Samsung SM-T100 (Samsung Galaxy Tab 3), Android v. 4.2.2. and Chrome v. 38.0.212.102
Samsung SM-G900F (Samsung Galaxy S5), Android v. 4.4.2. and Chrome v. 38.0.212.102

confirmed.... chrome on my note2 also does not pull up keyboard, now require much more ui development to hand mobile :(

We are facing the same problem. Itext doesn't show the text entered by onscreen keyboard. External keyboard works fine. (Fabric.js v1.4.13 + Android v. 4.4.2 + chrome v. 41.0.2272.96).

Our app needs to run in android + chrome stack. Is there any plan to fix this issue in future release of fabric.js?

BTW fabric.js is awesome and save us a huge work on developing canvas related UI by ourselves.

Thanks,

Tao

I tried http:https://fabricjs.com/test/misc/itext.html as well, and it doesn't work.

consider there is a fix, it will be taken again on development as soon as 1.5.0 is out.

there is some thread for it, search "accent language" in the issues. you ll find it and subscribe it so you will be notified when things start to move again

Cool, Thanks. I will watch it out.
