Hi, I'm not quite sure where to put this question, so sorry if it's in the wrong place
What I'm trying to do is give the search text box in the Contacts app focus, right when I open the app, thus bringing up the keyboard so I can type right away. Is this possible?
Thanks!
Figured it out. Used an "input tag x y" script to simulate a tap on the textbox.

Hi All,
Is there a way to diabled the new copy and paste feature?
I ask because I can not longer edit text, if i make a typo and touch to move the cursor back, it just highlights the entire word. Touch it again ans it de-selects.
This annoyence is compounded by the lack of left and right cursor keys to move though text.
Is it just me or does anyone find this annoying?
Thanks
Dave
Hi
I just accidently found the answer to my question.
If you are editing text, say for a text message, touch the text and keep you finger/thumb on the screen. I little green text curser appears above where you are touching.
You can then drag this to the correct place in the text that you wish to edit.
Thanks Everyone.

Yep i already knew that
Sometimes is good to actually read the little intro or some tips and tricks in the Microsoft Windows Phone 7 page. After all, they exist for some reason
But WP7 is very easy to manage. Here is a tip: if you need something, just press and hold to see more options appear... This can be done almost everywhere
Hi,
I make some search in this forum and in google and I have not been able to find an answer to my problem.
I'm a new Razr owner. Before I had a HTC Hero with trackball.
In whattsapp, I want to read a status which is wider than the screen. I'd like to know how to make it scroll. If I tap on it, I select the contact to write a message.
With the Hero, I used the trackball to scroll down to the wanted item to highlight it and the text began to scroll.
Now, without any kind of trackball, I've tried several way to highlight the item with a tap or a gesture, but no way to read the whole text making it scrolling.
Could someone help me ?
Hi people,
I have a very specific need for a very simple app:
It should be one button only on one screen, and one textfield only on another screen.
The function of the button is to send a predefined(coded into app) SMS to the number you input in the other screen(this number should autosave).
In other words -
Screen 1: 1 big button, "ACTIVATE" (when clicked, sends SMS "activate" to number)
Screen 2: Settings screen, one box only, for putting in destination number and saving it.
I have above average general computer-knowledge and understanding, but no experience whatsoever with app-development.
Can I learn to, and write this app simply myself, say in a day or two max? Or should I just pay someone that knows what they're doing because it would take me too long to learn?
I suggest that you go on your own. It is not difficult to code such an app and learning some code isn't bad at all. You can do it in one day if you're determined enough. Good luck!
If you don't want to learn to code then there is always my app SMS Bot Widget:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.ubikapps.smswidget
It is a home screen widget only so you can't send a message from an app, only a home screen widget.

Your Widget seems to be 99% what I need..! Would it be easy for me to modify your code, to change the text and options on the settingscreen, and make the Widget just a standard picture?
Also, could I cancel the confirmation part, just have the text sent in background instead of the confirm-to-send?
Edit: What I really need is a cross between your widget and this app in its simplest form:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ult#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsIm51LmZkcC5TbXNfUkMiXQ..
Questions should be asked in Q&A forums, not Development forums.
Thread moved.
OK, so I started trying out myself, using MIT AppInventor. I've gotten pretty far, all I'm missing is for the app to store what's put in the "PhoneNumber"-textbox. How do i make the app save the number for later, also when app is restarted?
Last thing, when I use a picture for button, how do i get it to be "shaded" when pressed? you know, so you know when your pressing it.
What am I missing to get these features?

OK, so I've found the TinyDB, and put in the "store value" block, however I don't know where to put the "retrieve value" to get it to retrieve as soon as app is opened.. any help?

My app isn't open source yet but I might put it on github or something in the future.
Nexus 4 issues with app: GoKeyboard
Hi, Please read on. I'd really appreciate it.
I have the Nexus 4. I thought I would get a keyboard that wasn't the regular one. So I went on the app Go Keyboard, got a theme, got emojis, and then I saw something.
Fantasy Text
So first I thought it was a type of Chinese writing, so I got the Chinese extension. That didn't work, so I looked in every settings panel, and I found the extension to get actual fantasy text. You know, the one where each letter is in a circle? Thats the one. I enabled it, choose which one I wanted, and I thought that was the end of it. But it wasn't. First, I couldn't figure out how to get to the place to type in fantasy text on my keyboard. I still don't know. Any help would be much appreciated. Second, each time I would open GoKeyboard to type, it would give me a notification that read exactly like this:
Enable Fantasy
It would be in my status bar. So I would pull the bar down and it would say:
Fantasy Text status : on (Click here to fantasy mode setting)
I was confused, because it said it was on. So I clicked, but each time I did, I would end up on the same page that I used in the beginning to set up the text. It would say on the top: Fantasy Text Plugin. Then it would give you the two bars. The first would say: Enable Fantasy. Under it it said: ON. But you had to check a box on the side to turn it on. It was checked. The second box was simply a drop menu of all the fantasy text. I am pretty sure the two are related. Anyway, I know this isn't an app forum, but if you have any insight (since i am on an android device) it would be much appreciated.
Thanks for your time!!!

Whenever I tap on the "reply" section of a story I see on Instagram or I swipe up to see the keyboard so I can answer to that story I can only see the keyboard, without the text box above it.
Later on I found out that when I want to tag someone on my story, I need to hide the keyboard in order to select someone's account in order for the tag to work properly.
My theory is that the responsible text boxes do not "understand" when the keyboard is showing and acts like if I am using a physical keyboard, therefore staying at the bottom of the screen while all I see is a keyboard and the story I want to reply to, tag someone in.
Do you know any way I can fix that?
Thanks a lot!
Happy New Year!:angel:
