MaskedEditExtender: support Android soft keyboard

[Eyal-M]

This problem is still happening! MaskEdit works like regular (NON-masked) textbox in chrome android. krajchn described it perfectly in: https://github.com/DevExpress/AjaxControlToolkit/issues/356

You can see it happening with the regular MaskEdit demo page. https://ajaxcontroltoolkit.devexpress.com/MaskedEdit/MaskedEdit.aspx ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit Demos v18.1.1.0

I checked it with my Samsung J5 smartphone and with my Xiaomi smartphone (bought this year) also cheked it with other friend smartphones - all kind of different Android versions. Problem happens for all of them. There are NO problem with this page on any desktop - works OK on all Windows desktop that i have. All my smartphones and desktops running latest Chrome browser.

you can put the cursor anywhere in the field and press any button - i always get the same result - no filtering, no masking - it works like regular (NON-masked) textbox.

Is someone here???

I confirm the issue. It's specific to Android soft keyboard (not reproduced with a connected physical keyboard and in a Chrome DevTools remote debugging session).

Technical details:

• https://stackoverflow.com/q/36753548
• https://stackoverflow.com/q/30743490
• https://stackoverflow.com/a/52948439

Soft keyboard support will likely require an extensive rewrite of the MaskedEdit.js script.

Possible workarounds:

• Use input[type=number], input[type=date]
• Use another plugin for masked input (e.g. https://github.com/igorescobar/jQuery-Mask-Plugin)

:-(

I need masked edit that can run on IE8 (no html5) and without jquery (only pure JS).

What are my possible/best option in this case?

Consider conditionally disabling MaskedEditExtender based on Request.UserAgent. For example:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    if(Request.UserAgent.Contains("Android")) {
        MaskedEditExtender2.Enabled = false;
        MaskedEditValidator2.Enabled = false;
        TextBox2.Attributes["type"] = "number";
    }
}

Thank you for this.

Are you going to fix it soon or leave it as it is?

I suggest that you use the workaround. Support for Android soft keyboard is not a trivial task. We cannot promise that we'll add it to the Toolkit.

[Eyal-M]

What you say is a big thing… It means that site that work with the Toolkit will NOT be able to work on most smartphones – the device that most user use today to surf the web.

For most developer today this will end the use of the Toolkit…

This is a great Toolkit – lets not kill it…. :-(

Please think about it again… :)
