"OnSubmit" Doesn't fire on InputField

Hi,
I am using b20 beta on a mac. I used a InputField but it is not firing the "OnSubmit" field. I even added the "EventTrigger" field at some point and managed to work with "PointerClick". I am saying this to show that I do know how the new system works. But I could not make the "OnSubmit" work. I pressed Enter, ctrl+enter, shift+enter. Nothing works.

Please help.
Thanks

else, use a button?

I'm on Mac beta 20 and the callback is as follows:

Code (CSharp):

1.     void Start()
2.     {
3.         m_inputText.onSubmit.AddListener(ProcessSubmit);
4.     }
5.  
6.     public void ProcessSubmit(string input)
7.     {
8.         print(input)
9.     }

 

Are you sure this is working for you on mac? Cause I just tried it with no luck.

Code (CSharp):

1. void Start () {
2.         GetComponent<InputField>().onSubmit.AddListener(ProcessSubmit);
3.     }
4.    
5.     public void ProcessSubmit(string input)
6.     {
7.         Debug.Log(input);
8.     }

 

@crag bro you are giving me legacy UI code. I want to use the UI that came with 4.6

 

sorry brochacho

 

Found the issue. I had multiline turned on, which prevents the OnSubmit on pressing Enter.

 

This doesn't work anymore with RC2. onSubmit has been taken out of InputField.. I need to be able to add a listener to it, but for the life of me cannot figure out how.

 

its now call onEndEdit. as stated in the release notes.

 

No OnSubmit()? Is that why this code compiles fine but seemingly does nothing? Or am I missing something?

Code (csharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using UnityEngine.EventSystems;
3. using System.Collections;
4.  
5. public class TextHelper : MonoBehaviour, ISubmitHandler {
6.  
7.     public void OnSubmit(BaseEventData data) {
8.         Debug.Log("Submitted!");
9.     }
10.  
11. }

I've tried attaching this to an InputField component and a Text component but it doesn't fire.

 

If you made your TextHelper class inherit from InputField, it should work I believe... Your OnSubmit function may need to be an override void as well.

 

Thanks for your reply! Replaced the InputField component on the game object with this and linked up the Text component but no luck

Code (csharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using UnityEngine.UI;
3. using UnityEngine.EventSystems;
4. using System.Collections;
5.  
6. public class TextHelper : InputField, ISubmitHandler {
7.  
8.     public override void OnSubmit(BaseEventData data) {
9.         Debug.Log("Submitted!");
10.     }
11.  
12. }

 

Here's a good read for you:

InputField: onValueChanged missing?

also, I don't know if you have to pull from their repository to do this, or if you're able to do it out-of-the-box. I don't yet know how people are overriding OnSubmit, or if there is anything else required before you can override it, but it looks like your source should be working.

 

Right now I'm on 4.6.2 and it's calling the event only when I hit enter 2 times. Any ideas how to fix that without polling for "Enter" button press ?

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using UnityEngine.EventSystems;
3.  
4. public class Test : MonoBehaviour, ISubmitHandler
5. {
6.     public void OnSubmit(BaseEventData eventData)
7.     {
8.         Debug.Log("ONSUBMIT");
9.     }
10. }

BTW it doesn't call that submit event on android at all.
Using onEndEdit ain't solution, because it calls that event even if you click away or hit escape.

 

same issue... only calls the event after hitting enter multiple times, pretty frustrating

 

Bump..

Didn't anyone ever find a good response to this?

As mentioned OnEndEdit also activates when you click away from screen which is not the desired result.

OnSubmit seems like the obvious solutions but it just doesn't seem to do anything.

 

Hey I've ran into this problem too. I think I've found a simple fix. No wizardry involved.

It will confirm when you press Enter but wont if you click outside the InputField bounds. Haven't tested on mobile but might help a few people out.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using UnityEngine.Events;
3. using UnityEngine.EventSystems;
4. using UnityEngine.UI;
5.  
6. public class InputFieldEx : InputField
7. {
8.     [System.Serializable]
9.     public class OnConfirm : UnityEvent<string> { }
10.  
11.     public OnConfirm onConfirm;
12.  
13.     protected override void Awake()
14.     {
15.         base.Awake();      
16.         onEndEdit.AddListener(OnEndEdit);
17.     }
18.  
19.     private void OnEndEdit(string value)
20.     {
21.         if (EventSystem.current.currentSelectedGameObject == gameObject &&
22.             EventSystem.current.alreadySelecting == gameObject)
23.         {
24.             Debug.Log($"'{name}' Wasn't Confirmed");
25.             return;
26.         }
27.  
28.         Debug.Log($"Confirm: {value}");
29.  
30.         if (onConfirm != null)
31.             onConfirm.Invoke(value);
32.     }
33.  
34.     public void BringToFocus()
35.     {
36.         EventSystem.current.SetSelectedGameObject(gameObject, null);
37.         OnPointerClick(new PointerEventData(EventSystem.current));
38.     }
39. }

The Editor Sript

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEditor;
2. using UnityEditor.UI;
3.  
4. [CustomEditor(typeof(InputFieldEx))]
5. public class E_InputFieldEx : InputFieldEditor
6. {
7.     SerializedProperty _onConfirm;
8.  
9.     protected override void OnEnable()
10.     {
11.         base.OnEnable();
12.         _onConfirm = serializedObject.FindProperty("onConfirm");
13.     }
14.  
15.     public override void OnInspectorGUI()
16.     {
17.         base.OnInspectorGUI();
18.         serializedObject.Update();
19.         EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(_onConfirm);
20.         serializedObject.ApplyModifiedProperties();
21.     }
22. }
