No lithuanian or other letters allowed in Xamarin Entry

I want to be able to enter not only lattin letters but symbols as well as lithuanian leters such as ąčęėįšųūž. On my xamarin forms entry <Entry x:Name="pacientName"/> its not allowed (no symbol displayed on keydown for foreign letters).

Maybe there are some settings. Or maybe I can make use of regex somehow?

Solution

  • Do you mean that other foreign language characters cannot be displayed in the entry? You need to set the language of the keyboard.

    I thought it was because you didn't add the keyboard of the relevant language... Here is the step. For me, it works well.

    My version:

    <PackageReference Include="Xamarin.Forms" Version="5.0.0.2196" />
<PackageReference Include="Xamarin.Essentials" Version="1.7.0" />
<!-- Android 11.0 - API 30 -->
