Hi,
Your current width is 0 (so thats why its hidden), you need to set width for
example like:
TextField {
y: 100
width: parent.width
focus: true
placeholderText: "Please enter the answer here"
inputMethodHints: Qt.ImhDigitsOnly
}
And inputMethodHints starts with lowercase i. But on current version of SDK it
currently does nothing.
You need to wait for next SDK release where it has been fixed.

Subject: [SailfishDevel] TextField Silica Component's placeholderText property
doesn't work
Hello fellow mailing list members,
I'm reasonably new to programming and Qt/QML.
I know the basics of C++ and QML. And I'm
trying to create simple Sailfish OS QML/C++ app.
I've already written a CLI version of my application in C++
that contains the logic. So I will use that code as base for my Saifish app.
I'm now creating the QML/Silica UI and the UI includes a single line TextField
component for entering integers. However I noticed that placeholderText isn't
shown, which makes it almost impossible for the user to see theTextField. When
I set the text property of the TextField I can however see the text in the
emulator. The relevant code basically looks like this:
TextField{
x: parent.Center
y: 100
focus: true
placeholderText: "Please enter the answer here"
InputMethodHints: Qt.ImhDigitsOnly
}
Also it seems that the InputMethodHint also doesn't work: I just get a general
keyboard. No special digits only keypad, it doesn't even start on the
number/special character tab of the keyboard.
Are these things Silica Component bugs?
