how to handle keyboard "enter" and "tap" event on same button.

[yogesh1]

hi,

i am new to this world of sencha touch.
i want a button to listen on enter key pressed on keyboard as well as on tap event of sencha touch.
"tap" event for button is working fine its calling addToBucket function only once.
i have tried giving action event to function addToBucket on keyboard enter button pressed on the panel.
it works fine for 1st time but afterwards same function is getting called multiple times when enter button is pressed.

screenPanel: {
initialize: 'onInitializeScreenPanel',
action: 'addToBucket'
},

how can i restrict this multiple call of same function on enter key pressed or is their any way to handle "Enter" key press event in sencha touch 2...?

thanks in advance..

I have this scenario in my search views. So this is how I do it in my controller (MVC):

config: {
        refs: {
            searchField: 'searchview searchfield',
            searchFieldButton: 'searchview button[action=search]'
        },
        control: {
            'searchField': {
                keyup: 'searchDataStart'
            },
            'searchFieldButton': {
                tap: 'searchData'
            }
        }
},


searchDataStart: function(fld, e) {
        // 13 = user tapped 'return/enter' button on keyboard
        if (e.browserEvent.keyCode == 13) {
            e.stopEvent();
            this.searchData();
        }
},


searchData: function() {
  var searchValue =  this.getSearchField().getValue();
  // do the search...

i have 35 textfields on my form. Is it possible to give one keyup event for all the textfields rather than putting it up for every textfield? plz reply with code .

why would you do that this way? is this some kind of game?

The action event will fire when you press enter within a form field.

@ingo.hefti

no its not game .i have submit form there are 35 fields include select box,textfild. i want to catch that evevnt whenever user press enter button on keyboard in any field.so is that possible to give one "keyup" event to entire form.?plz reply

@mitchellsimoens

i tried with action event but whenever i press enter that function is been called twice or multiple times.thats why i m tring this approach.plz gv m solution if u have it for that issue?so how should i stop that multiple call?

I'm not getting it to fire multiple times if I set a listener directly on the field, on the form and delegate it to the field or in a controller.
