AIR 51.3 SDK - Keyboard Events Working?

2dguy

Can anyone verify that keyboard event listeners are working for you with version 51.3 ? It's not working for me, but if I roll back to 51.1 it works fine. Thanks.

I have tested and found that the "AIRSDK_51.3.1.1" keyboard event is working properly. I am using the "win10" system

Is it possible that the focus is not on the stage?

Thanks for the reply, I've been using the exact same codebase for over a decade, if not longer. lol.. Everything works fine except the key events. I just used stage.focus = stage;, but that didn't help. lol.. I'm using Air SDK + Flex. My Flex version 4.6.0, could that be an issue? Is there even an update for flex? lol.. Thanks.

Isn't 'flex' no longer updated?
I use "vscode+sdk51.3"

Are you maintaining old projects or developing new ones?

Updating an app to comply with Google Play in 2026. Building apks, bundles, all works fine. Just no keyboard support when testing on Windows and also on my android test device. So the problem isn't just on PC. I've tried various stage.focus = (object) scenarios, and nothing is working. I've never had to use stage.focus in the past, but it does make sense it could be the issue...somehow. Thanks.

Apparently Flex has been updated past 4.6.0, but not sure if I should update it. I have been going back forth a bit with Andrew from the SDK team, waiting to hear from him again. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Glad to hear keyboard support is working for you, that's promising.

Have you set the stage zoom mode and full screen mode? Do you remember that some modes do not support keyboard events in full screen mode?

Because my GitHub account has been unable to log in,
So I can only post in the "Starling" and "OpenFL" communities

Hey! I just wanted to say a big thank you to you, you definitely made me try a zillion things until it worked! 🙂 lol... I had to add these lines to make it work:

stage.displayState = StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE;
stage.focus = stage.

Never had to do that before, but looking at it, it makes sense! 🙂

Thanks again for your time, I greatly appreciate it.

Hahaha, it seems that you have successfully made the keyboard event work properly. I'm really happy for you.
