(Solved) Can I put [player name] in a renpy game in android?

[stwkun]

I developed a game with customised name for the character [player_name] but when I test the apk in android I can´t put the name either continue the game. Any solution to this problem, please?

Is that because you don't have a way to input the letters? Huh. I have zero experience with making Android versions, but here are some ideas in case it's not possible to access the OS's virtual keyboard:

- create your own virtual keyboard, all you need is a screen with buttons for each letter;
- use a generic name instead of a customized one (for example "Player", "You" or something like that);
- generate a random name from a list and give the players a button to generate new ones until they find one satisfying.

Yeah, ideally renpy.input() would use the onscreen keyboard in android but it doesn't. I'd probably use bg_nocturnal's suggestion of using an on-screen keyboard.

Here's a solution from a previous thread. Sadly, it looks like old, pre-screen language code, but it's still a possible solution.
