Keyboard

touchgfx/widgets/Keyboard.hpp

The keyboard provides text input for touch devices. It is configured using a Layout and a KeyMappingList, both of which can be changed at runtime. The class using the keyboard must provide a buffer where the entered text is placed. The Layout contains a bitmap id for the image to display and two mappings: rectangles to key ids and rectangles to callback methods.

The KeyMappingList maps key ids to Unicode characters. When the user presses a key, the keyboard looks in its layout for a rectangle containing the coordinates pressed. If it finds a mapping to a callback method, it will invoke that method. If it finds a mapping to a key it will look up the Unicode character for that key and place it in a text buffer. The sequence is: (x,y) -> KeyId -> UnicodeChar.

A keyboard with multiple key mappings e.g. lower case alpha, upper case alpha and numeric mappings can be created by implementing callback methods for shift and mode areas in the provided bitmap and then changing the KeyMappingList when those areas are pressed.

Public Functions Documentation

draw

virtual void draw(const Rect &invalidatedArea)

Overrides the draw implementation on the Container.

First invokes the container draw implementation to draw the keyboard bitmap and text area holding the entered text. If additional drawables have been added to the keyboard, they will also be draw. After invoking the container draw, the glyphs mapped to keys are drawn and if a key has been pressed, it will be highlighted.

Parameters:
invalidatedAreaThe area to draw.

Reimplements: touchgfx::Container::draw

getBuffer

Unicode::UnicodeChar * getBuffer()const

Gets the buffer.

Returns:

The buffer containing entered text currently being displayed.

See also:

getBufferPosition

uint16_t getBufferPosition()

Gets buffer position.

Returns:

the buffer position, i.e. the current index where new characters will be placed.

See also:

getKeyMappingList

const KeyMappingList * getKeyMappingList()const

Gets key mapping list.

Returns:

The KeyMappingList used by the Keyboard.

getLayout

const Layout * getLayout()const

Gets the layout.

Returns:

The layout used by the Keyboard.

handleClickEvent

virtual void handleClickEvent(const ClickEvent &event)

Overrides the handleClickEvent on the container.

The keyboard handles all click events internally and click events are not propagated to drawables added to the keyboard.

Parameters:
eventThe ClickEvent.

Reimplements: touchgfx::Drawable::handleClickEvent

handleDragEvent

virtual void handleDragEvent(const DragEvent &event)

Overrides the handleDragEvent on the container.

The keyboard handles drag events to enable the container to, emit a CANCEL, if the user drags outside the currently pressed key.

Parameters:
eventThe DragEvent.

Reimplements: touchgfx::Drawable::handleDragEvent

Keyboard

setBuffer

void setBuffer(Unicode::UnicodeChar *newBuffer ,
uint16_tnewBufferSize
)

Sets the buffer to be used by the keyboard.

Keys entered are added to the buffer.

Parameters:
newBufferPointer to a buffer holding the text edited by the keyboard. If the buffer is not empty, the edit position for the keyboard will be set to the end of the provided text.
newBufferSizeLength of the buffer, i.e. number of UnicodeChar's.
See also:

setBufferPosition

void setBufferPosition(uint16_tnewPos)

Change the buffer position i.e.

the next index to place a character when a key is pressed. This can be used to implement backspace functionality if the class using the Keyboard implements a callback and maps it to a backspace implementation. Setting the position will cause the TextArea displaying the text to be invalidated to request a redraw.

Parameters:
newPosThe buffer position.
See also:

setKeyListener

Sets the callback for the keyboard.

The callback will be executed every time a key is clicked. The callback argument contains the key that was just pressed.

Parameters:
callbackThe Callback to invoke.
Note

Backspace, shift and mode keys report a 0 as value.

setKeymappingList

void setKeymappingList(const KeyMappingList *newKeyMappingList)

Set/change the KeyMappingList to use.

The Keyboard will invalidate the space it occupies to request a redraw.

Parameters:
newKeyMappingListThe new KeyMappingList.

setLayout

void setLayout(const Layout *newLayout)

Set/change the Keyboard::Layout to use.The Keyboard will invalidate the space it occupies to request a redraw.

Parameters:
newLayoutThe new layout.
See also:

setTextIndentation

Sets text indentation by making the area for entered text slightly larger.

The result is that some characters (often 'j' and '_') will not be cut off. Indentation is added to both sides of the text area in case the text is right-to-left. Indentation is automatically set so all characters will display properly.
