[TNS 3.0] Android: Pressing ENTER key from hardware keyboard in TextView throws an exception

[PeterStaev]

This was tested on stock android emulators API 23, inside a TextView widget if you press Enter key on the keybaord (which my guess emulates the press of an Enter key on a hardware keyboard on a real device) throws the below mentioned error. Problem is this line where the call to _onReturnPress() is which is not implemented by the TextView widget due to incorrect typings in the d.ts file of EditableTextBase

An uncaught Exception occurred on "main" thread.
com.tns.NativeScriptException:
Calling js method onEditorAction failed
TypeError: owner._onReturnPress is not a function

Hi @PeterStaev,
Thank you for reporting the issue.
I tested this problem on my side and have to confirm that this is a real problem on Android when you press Enter key for the TextView.
We will do our best to provide a fix for this issue as soon as possible.
I am also attached sample project, which could be used for debugging.
