HOW TO GENERATE A TAPPED EVENT PROGRAMMATICALLY

Giorgio Sfiligoi 676

Is it possible to "send" programmatically a Tapped event to a ContentPage?

i.e. simulate that the user tapped somewhere.

the platform is Android.

In my ContentPage I set HideSoftInputOnTapped="True"

There is an Entry:

        <Entry x:Name="entryField"
               ...
               IsReadOnly="True">
            <Entry.GestureRecognizers>
                <TapGestureRecognizer Tapped="OnFieldTapped" />
            </Entry.GestureRecognizers>
        </Entry>

It is read-only to prevent that tapping on it opens the soft keyboard.

Scenario:

another field has its soft keyboard open;
tapping anywhere will close it - this is the behavior that I want, BUT:
tapping on the Entry above, the event is captured in my GestureRecognizer and does not close the existing soft keyboard.

The solution I envisage is: in my OnFieldTapped I forward the tapped event to the ContentPage or to any other element, to let the system close the software keyboard.

Which control do you want to add tapped event?

Before starting your application, will this ContentPage know which controls that need to add the tapped event, what is the operation will be executed when tapped event executing?

What is the expected behavior and how does that differ from the actual behavior?

If you have another solution, I will welcome it.
