Hide Virtual keyboard when using InputField

Question

I know how to hide or display Virtual Keyboard using InputMethodManager.

But I want to enter text in EditText using Physical keyboard but I don

Answer 1

There is no such thing as EditText in Unity. InputField is used to receive input from a device.

You can disable Virtual Keyword with InputField on Android. Not sure if this will work for other platforms.

Your InputField:

public InputField inputField;

Disable Virtual Keyboard:

inputField.keyboardType = (TouchScreenKeyboardType)(-1);

Enable Virtual Keyboard:

inputField.keyboardType = TouchScreenKeyboardType.Default;

If you run into weird issues, consider deriving your script from InputField, then disable Virtual Keyboard and finally, call the base Start function of the InputField:

public class HideVirtualKeyboard : InputField
{
    protected override void Start()
    {
        keyboardType = (TouchScreenKeyboardType)(-1);
        base.Start();
    }
}
