Hi everyOne,

In my app iam generating the output while the user is typing the data in text input field, for that iam adding actionlistener to keyboard,

the problem is i did nt get the data while typing i need to wait for some time or need to press enter or esp keys

wts the prbelm can any one tell me. here is my code

searchInput.prompt = "Search...";		searchInput.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDownHandler);

private function keyDownHandler(event : KeyboardEvent) : void{
dao.getDatabyKeyword(searchInput.text,onSuccessfullyRetrived);
}
//here getdatabykeyword is my database method and on succesfullyretrived is display data method 
no problems with these two methods i tested those.

Try listening to Event.CHANGE, instead of the keyboard event for the text input control. Standard TextInput responds to text changes. This assumes that the QNX TextInput was implemented this way and you are using that control.

If you add a trace(...) to your callback function, are you saying that it is not being triggered with key down events?
