Shidar Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 It´s currently not possible to set the temperature to a negative value on a smartphone. If I click on the temperature field, I can only enter numbers. Smartphone is running on Android 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason-ABRP Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Hmm, just tried this on my phone (Android 8.0 ) and it let me input a negative number, though it did go red temporarily because a "-" is not a valid number. Can you post a screenshot of what you see when you try to input a negative number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shidar Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 I attached a screenshot. I think this could be solved with a little bit of CSS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason-ABRP Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Interesting, we have the field set as a "number" input in the HTML, which should pull up the numberpad keyboard (which should have numeric symbols). Here's what I get: Using GBoard, which keyboard are you using? Jokingly, you could switch to Fahrenheit and back, as 0C is 32F, which will allow you to get down -18C without using a minus sign.

Shidar Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 Switching to Fahrenheit and then back looks like it does the job. At least its a workaround. I am using the standard keyboard from Android 6. I think it is just the number Input Field. If I change that, then I get the normal keyboard.

Jason-ABRP Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Yes, absolutely, the downside is that removing the type="number" from the input field loses us the other functionality on the desktop (up/down spinner buttons to adjust the temperature). You could try installing another keyboard, I know Gboard provides the right input, and others such as SwiftKey will probably also work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
