TexField in overlay view

[parnanzio]

If you add a TextField input in the overlay view it doesn't accept input, neither if you try to call its focus() method.
I tried to update every attribute (enabled, visible, ..) to enable the input field to work, but nothing worked.
The problem happens on Android and iOS.

I'll try to see if it is an easier task for Android. But I think that the barcode view should just be used to scan and not to input other data. Either do it before hand or after the scanning. Or use a different module that will allow you to put a scanner view inside a normal view like https://github.com/mikefogg/SquareCamera so you can use all other components

I was using SquareCamera on SDK 6.3.0 and everything worked fine, but then I had to upgrade the project to SDK 7+ and the module is not supported.
So I started using ti.barcode and everything is working, but the input fields 😢.

The users of the app start the camera and while scanning barcodes they can update some values.. some type of articles can have up to 12 input fields.

@parnanzio https://github.com/designbymind/SquareCamera is a very active fork

@m1ga nice to know! I'll give it a try!
Do you know a working module for android too? I was using https://github.com/acktie/Acktie-Mobile-Android-QR-Reader , but it is not active from more than 2 years..
