Hello,
I am trying to use the Alphanumeric keyboard of WebIQ instead of the Android Keyboard of the WR21
In the preview of WebIQ and if use my laptop as a web client it works
However if I try it in the Kiosk of the WR21 it does not appear anything and, on the other side, if I use it in the Chromium app it still appears the Android keyboard,
I guess that it is a WR21 problem because in my laptop the HMI visualization it works so, how can I use the WebIQ Keyboard in a standard WR21?
Many thanks,

On Android WebIQ automatically disables the Overlay Keyboard and lets the browser use the system keyboard because it provides a better user experience. There is no way to configure that at it is hardcoded in the system widget.

Moved to corresponding sub forum Smart HMI - WebIQ Designer and Server.

So then it is not possible to use the WebIQ Keyboard on an Android HMI?
If you ask me the user experience is worse if I use the Android Keyboard because the keyboard slides in and all the HMI is automatically scaled and the interface looks really odd,
In my opinion is better to use a keyboard that pops in and do not scale the HMI that is why I asked to use the WebIQ Keyboard,

I assume that the automatic scaling of the HMI is happening because of the browser/Android version used. On a modern Android phone or tablet the keyboard is usually slid in as an overlay and does not cause scaling changes.
Maybe someone from Bosch Rexroth can look into this?

I have also noticed that the WebIQ keypad is not displayed on my tablet. The automatic mechanism that the system keypad is used on Android is not an optimal solution in my opinion. As there might certainly reasons to use the system keyboard instead of the WebIQ keyboards on Android, I believe that this option must be configurable in the WebIQ project.
This gives you the opportunity to decide for yourself which is the better option for the customer project. I will discuss this with SmartHMI.

In Template-for-cartesian-handling-systems-V1-20-0 we use the Rexroth package cxVisuals with the widget cx-Input. This widget always uses a alphanum keypad definded by Rexroth.

Ok so, can I use this keyboard with a WR21? If so, how can I use it / import it in my projects?
Thanks!

Hello,
I have tried this and it works perfect. But I have a question: Is there a way to edit this keyboard?
Thanks.

Yes. It is described in the word document shipped with the template.

I made a request to SmartHMI, to add a new WebIQ configuration, that you can select if the system or WebIQ keypad is displayed on Android.
