I want to make player name input. And I need to make it in English only. But the StartTextInput() function can be used for any language.
How can I force English-only text input using standart AppGameKit functions for Android and iOS?

at android i had setup myself two languages and can switch between german and english in on screen keyboard if me click the world icon.
i think you need a feature request for agk that it open a english layout on screen keyboard via language parameter. like en-US en-UK
else you can show up a selfmade key map image (sprite).

Thank you Markus, maybe the selfmade key map is the best way for now...

yes but keep in mind that some users have a bluetooth or physical keyboard. see Input-Raw.

One thing I'm doing in something I've started to work on is use the StripString function. The strip string function removes characters from a string. You would load it with characters you want to allow and then if there's any characters left after stripping the valid ones then that would suggest that the name is invalid.

Here's what I mean





I'm using this to only allow alphanumeric usernames, and have added some special characters to it for when checking for valid passwords.
