Description

Problem description

When setting returnKeyType on a TextArea, the default return type is shown anyway.

Steps to reproduce

Use the following code to see the issue: 
var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
	backgroundColor: "black"
});

var txt = Ti.UI.createTextArea({
	returnKeyType: Ti.UI.RETURNKEY_SEARCH,
	left: 10,
	right: 10,
	top: 10,
	height: 300
});
win.add(txt);

win.open();

Note

This works in native, although you cannot go to other lines. To enable it, the element should have: 
android:inputType="textImeMultiLine"

    Another test case: 
       var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
       backgroundColor: "black"
   });
    
   var txt = Ti.UI.createTextArea({
       autocapitalization: Ti.UI.TEXT_AUTOCAPITALIZATION_ALL,
       left: 10,
       right: 10,
       top: 10,
       height: 300
   });
   var button = Ti.UI.createButton({title: 'toggle returnKeyType', height: '100dp', top: '200dp'});
   
   button.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
       txt.returnKeyType = Ti.UI.RETURNKEY_SEARCH;
   });
   win.add(txt);
   win.add(button);
    
   win.open();

    Reopen the ticket since this fix is reverted (https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/pull/5202, https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/pull/5208).

    This behavior change caused a lot of complaints in the community, so we've reverted the behavior. If a user wishes to have this back again, they will need to re-add the code we've removed in a custom build of the SDK.

    Why don't you update your documentation that returnKeyType doesn't work with TextArea in android? http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/3.0/#!/api/Titanium.UI.TextArea - here we can see that this property is supported in Android. But this is fake!
  7. Ingo Muschenetz 2014-07-06

    [~bhatfield] Can you please update the docs?
  8. Malcolm Hollingsworth 2015-01-31

    [~ingo] The docs have still not been updated on this I am sure this could and should have been achieved in the last 7 months time. The ticket is marked as closed so guessing this has fallen through the cracks.
  9. Ingo Muschenetz 2015-04-16

    [~core13], actually, this should have been addressed by TIDOC-1754.

    Closing ticket as the issue will not fix and with reference to the above comments.
