Renpy.input for Phones

[ZestyTS]

I have looked all over and I can't seem to find any solution for this. So in my game, I ask for the user's name using
renpy.input("name: ")
but on Android phones, the keyboard pops up and covers over the textbox so the user is unable to see what they are being asked or what they are typing. I've been trying to move the input box to the middle, but I haven't been able to get that to work. I'm currently using the latest version of renpy. If you have any insight or concerns please let me know, thanks.

Apparently, the android build of the game "SF-IO" uses renpy.input in combination with the android keyboard.

SF-IO is released under the GPLv2, the sources are available here on github.

I'm afraid, you will have to check the source code of SF-IO to find out how the developer handled the matter. I hope this will help you...

Hey that's at least a starting point. Thanks so much for the reply! I've been stuck on this for a while now.

The relevant code from "SF-IO" is this line:
show text "yay" at Position(xpos = 298, ypos=160, xanchor=0.5, yanchor=0.0)

How I've got it working in Renpy 7.4 is:
show text "{color=#FFF}{size=40} {font=my_custom_font.ttf}What would you like me to call you?{/font} {/size}{/color}" at Position(xpos = 400, ypos=50, xanchor=0.5, yanchor=0.0)
python:
name = renpy.input("What would you like me to call you?")
name = name.strip() or "friend"
hide text

Hope this helps <3

I'm building (likely have built by now) The Life Game at https://thelifega.me, my android and ios app focused on helping the user make life decisions.
Thanks <3,
