Outputting Keyboard Input to Off the Device!

Philie

Hi everyone!

I am in the midst of creating a big project, but I have a problem which I can't find a way around. I am looking for a way to take what a user inputs via Keyboard Input, and allow me to somehow extract/output it for my own use. I need it for when the user first opens the app, it allows them to tell us which team told them about the app. I am not going to get into detail about why I need it, but long story short, it has a big deal to do with the app.

I had tried things like an Open URL, but simply switching it to mailto: with the email?body= sort of thing, which would of had to work, but I couldn't put attributes in it. I see no other possible way to get this output'ed other then a simple button forwarding them to a website.

This is a bummer, but I hope someone can help me out!

Keep on gamin' everybody!
Happy Holidays!

i think attribute used to work until they took it out with the last update, wish it gets re-instated ...

Unfortunately we have never been able to extract attributes from the game. It is something we have been asking for since the dawn of time and I am not sure why they haven't implemented it yet.

If there is only a select few teams, you can have a few different buttons and each button goes to a different URL.

Alternatively, you could have something that converts the text attribute in to something openable. I have made a demo for you:

From the different URL's you forward to, you can either have a hit counter or a script to email you or something.

Hey Ace.
Thats a bummer, it could be really useful for some ideas I have. Thanks for your demo, really helpful!

Yeah, it'd be so cool if we could use attributes in URL's, we could do so much with that!
