Changing the input type to “tel” turns the keyboard on iOS into a proper numeric keypad with the big ol number keys, but it doesn’t come with a decimal point character. (a period or comma)
Being able to input decimal numbers is crucial in this scenario, so I really need to find a way to force the numeric keypad to include a period or a comma symbol.
If anyone has any idea how to accomplish this, I’d really like to know!
build your own “keyboard” -> instead of showing the native keyboardbuild your own keyboard with buttons.
Fake your “input” style an element like an input --> if you click on it --> open your “keyboard” e.g. --> open modal with big buttons for numbers or something like that.
That’s a rather shit solution honestly, would it not be possible to set the keyboard type to UIKeyboardTypeDecimalPad in a homemade plugin or something?
sure, but each crappy device manufacturer changes the keyboard-layouts like they want… see the htc or samsung number-picker --> they have nothing to do with the original ones.
and then it is not an ionic problem, because it is a native one.
Sure you can build your own plugin if you want and it works ;). Many people would be happy.
