I want to give you a report about my test in displaying a native textfield gadget inside a monkey game. Perhaps someone can help me with the next step

At the moment I am already able to display text without any loaded imagefont.

I changed three files:

...\TestUI.build\android\templates\res\layout\main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<AbsoluteLayout
	.....
	>
	
	<view class="${ANDROID_APP_PACKAGE}.MonkeyGame$GameView"
	.....
	/>

    <TextView  
		 android:id="@+id/textview1"
		 android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
		 android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
		 android:text="@string/hello"
		 android:textSize="30sp"
   />	    
</AbsoluteLayout>

together with:
...\TestUI.build\android\res\values\strings.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <string name="hello">This is a <u>text</u> feature You can display texts</string>
</resources>

Both together will display a text on the screen in a completely basic monkey code:
...\TestUI.monkey

Strict
Import mojo

Class Game Extends App

	Field Timer%
	
	Method OnCreate%()
		Return 0
	End	

	Method OnUpdate%()
		If KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE) Then Error ""
		Return 0
	End	

	Method OnRender%()
		Return 0
	End	
	
End

Function Main%()
	New Game
	Return 0
End

As a next step I want to change the visibility of this text. If I add this to the xml file hiding is already possible:
...\TestUI.build\android\templates\res\layout\main.xml

<TextView  
     ...
     android:visibility="invisible"

But now I want to make the visibility accessable from monkey code. And now this does not work. It produces an error, that the "package" is not known:
...\testUI.java

class SystemPeter {
	public static float Test() {
		TextView MyView = (TextView) BBAndroidGame._androidGame._activity.findViewById( R.id.textview1 );
		MyView.setVisibility VISIBLE;
		return 123;
	}	
}

...\TestUI.monkey

Strict
Import mojo
Import "testUI.java"

Extern
	
	#If TARGET="android"
		Function Test:Int()="SystemPeter.Test"
	#Endif

Public

Class Game Extends App

	Field Timer%
	
	Method OnCreate%()
		Return 0
	End	

	Method OnUpdate%()
		If KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE) Then Error ""
		If TouchHit(0)
			Print "TouchHit !!!" + Test()
		Endif 
		Return 0
	End	

	Method OnRender%()
		Return 0
	End	
	
End

Function Main%()
	New Game
	Return 0
End
