I have posted a StackOverflow question about the behaviour of the VirtualKeyboard on the Torch simulator. As a follow up question, where does an EditField get it's reference to the Virtual Keyboard on touch devices?
I am trying to display a Real Numeric keyboard (the proper style bit is set on the EditField), yet the keyboard that is displayed (on the Torch simulator when the slider is closed) is a "qwerty" keyboard.
Fixed. The answer can be found on my StackOverflow question "Blackberry Torch Simulator and EditField Problem". The trick as to subclass directly from Manager.
The issue was the GridFieldManager, which I had subclassed. I am still not sure how that caused the behaviour I described above. If anyone has any idea please enlighten me.
