Feathers-FoveaTextInput

Feathers TextInput replacement to get rid of StageText Crashes on Android

Documentation

Import FoveaTextInput:

import feathers.controls.FoveaTextInput;

Use it as a any TextInput:

var input:FoveaTextInput = new FoveaTextInput();
addChild(input);
input.prompt = "Enter your name";
input.x = 100;
input.y = 100;
input.width  = 300;
input.height = 60;

Behaviour

FoveaTextInput will be a regular feathers TextInput on all platform except Android.

On Android, an invisible flash.text.TextField is added over the TextInput to prevent the StageText crash that occurs on some devices. It provides less features, but more stability.

Known Issue

On Android, if some feathers elements are drawn over the FoveaTextInput, the invisible flash.text.TextInput will still be there (not visible, but still active). You may have to remove the text input from the stage to prevent weird behaviours.
