UDK text input using the native iOS keyboard

[ufna]

It's easy to use the native iOS keyboard to get the text input from player in UDK despite it's undocumented function. I've prepared an extended example below.

/** Used to set the callback on keyboard dialog close */
delegate KeyboardInputFunction(optional String TextInput);

/**
 * Launches saved callback function (we can't pass delegates directly) 
 */
exec function ProcessKeyboardInput()
{
	KeyboardInputFunction();
}

/** 
 * Keyboard call interface: opens native iOS keyboard to receive user's text input
 *
 * @param 	Title 			Dialog title
 * @param 	DefaultText 	Default text input value
 * @param 	InputFuntion 	Function to be called on dialog close (callback)
 */
function MobileOpenKeyboard(String Title, String DefaultText, delegate<KeyboardInputFunction> InputFuntion)
{
	KeyboardInputFunction = InputFuntion;
	ConsoleCommand("mobile getuserinput \""$Title$"\" \""$DefaultText$"\" \""$nameof(ProcessKeyboardInput)$"\"");
}

/**
 * EXAMPLE: HOW TO USE
 */
exec function SomeBtnPressed()
{
	MobileOpenKeyboard("Please enter your name", "Tought Guy", SetPlayerName);
}

/**
 * EXAMPLE: CALLBACK FUNCTION
 */
function SetPlayerName(optional string TextInput)
{
	`log("New player name is:" @ TextInput);
}
