TextField returnPress event not working on Android

[rajagottumukkala]

Just to make sure I am not doing anything wrong in my project, I have taken {N} sample Tap Achievement app and added a text field. I am trying to use returnPress event with the TextField and I cannot make it work.

<TextField text="This is a test" returnKeyType="next" returnPress="{{ search }}" autocorrect="false"/>

If I attache the same function to a tap event of a button, it works:
<Button text="TAP" tap="{{ search }}" />

HelloWorldModel.prototype.search = function(){
        console.log("In search");
    }

I am on NativeScript 1.6 and I don't have a Mac to test this for iOS.

ok, fyi, you fixed the binding issue but now you broke the other way:
returnPress="{{ onDone }}" <--- Now works in 1.7.0, thank you
returnPress="onDone" <--- Does not work anymore :-(, it was ok in 1.6.2

Hey @Daxito,

I've just tested this and everything seems to work as expected:

<Page>
  <StackLayout>
    <TextField returnPress="press" />
  </StackLayout>
</Page>

exports.press = function(args) {
    console.log("HERE")
}

@enchev
Please take a look the attached sample app, it does not even work with binding.
I added two text fields, one with a reference to a function in the code behind and the other one bound to the view model, after tapping the "Done" keyboard key nothing is displayed in the console, maybe I am missing something here?
Using {N} 1.7.0 and using a real android device.

Also, I did a test using {N} 1.6.2 (by uninstalling 1.7.0), and guess what, it worked for both scenarios! Let me know if you need more information.
