Entering 5 digit site ID

Hi everyone,

I'm developing a widget and as part of the initial user journey I need them to enter a 5 digit site ID as well as the ability for the user to change it later if they move site. I've looked at using the number picker feature in the SDK but it looks to be limited to certain types of data entity (eg time) rather than a general 5 digit number. Can anyone point me in the direction of an example of how to do it. I appreciate this is a bit lazy but I've got enough challenges getting the core widget functionality working and so was hoping for a quick heads start of this part of it.

I appreciate any support and advice you can give!

Here is a text picker that I have used as a starting point for one of my projects. It can be customized to limiting the characters that you want to use. i.e. all caps, all lowercase, or numbers or anything…

Look at the Picker sample in the SDK. It's a generic picker vs the NumberPicker sample.

There is also App Setting, but with that you have to have a phone with you.

Can you determine the "site id" based on location? If so, your widget can fire up GPS to get your location.
