"UpdateContext" does no longer work on smartphones

Posted on by Manuel_O

Hi,

I'm using "UpdateContext" for years on my app without a change, but since a few month the users report that the text field is no longer working.

UpdateContext( { Status: "Eingestempelt " & Now() & " " & TextInput1} )

It's "On select", the text field's name is "Status". It works on the browser preview but not on (some?) smartphones.

Any idea, anyone?

best,

Manuel

@Manuel_O ,

Try this (I am assuming your desired date/time format here)

UpdateContext({Status: "Eingestempelt " & Text(Now(), "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm") & " " & TextInput1.Text} )

@Manuel_O ,

Sorry I have not further ideas - also my apps are used extensively on mobile devices and this has never happened for me.

ok...maybe I can display some kind of messageBox instead of filling the text field - how would be the syntax for this?
thanks

@Manuel_O,

Use Notify() is you want a banner message

Notify("Eingestempelt " & Text(Now(), "dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm") & " " & TextInput1.Text, Information)
