1. Re: 'Swype' is ruining my app and reputation.
DJSN2012 May 30, 2012 3:32 PM (in response to FLAdude)Hi FLAdude,
My name is David and I work for Nuance Communications, the company that produces Swype. I saw this post on Adobe's Mobile Development forum and was troubled to hear that you were seeing issues inside your application when Swype was used as the keyboard. I'd be glad to address this with you if you'd like.
Please feel free to reach out to me via a PM on this forum.
Thank you!

FLAdude May 30, 2012 5:29 PM (in response to DJSN2012)Hi, David. It's good to hear that you care about user experience. I didn't expect to actually get any support. Usually companies just ignore the little people or make some vague longwinded stagement to dodge the issue. Would really be great if Swype would not have these issues, especially since it is the default input method on several high volume Samsung devices. I would even go so far as to implement a fix in my code if I knew something to get it to work normally and not have to tell users to change input methods, but they are just textfields, I don't know what I could possibly do to them to make it work normally, as I didn't do anything wierd to them in the first place...
I have constructed a simple app with nothing but an input textfield and some details about the strange behavior and instructions how to reproduce it. Using this APK, you can see how it goes berserk. This app has no ActionScript. This is just a plain textfield.
The APK is uploaded here, download it and see what's happening:

er453r May 31, 2012 12:44 AM (in response to FLAdude)I've also encountered this problem. TextArea with Swype enabled wasn't receiving text at all. When switched to the default android keyboard everything worked.

be.dicorp.jgi Nov 13, 2013 2:55 AM (in response to __fire_cat__)Using the restrict property of a TextInput seems to be bugged with some keyboards.
I filed a bug entry here: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3605590
Vote for it
