[Spatial SDK] Virtual keyboard is not shown.

[BigMac1771]

Im executing the StarterSample on Quest3 v76.1024. I just add a EditText widget into ui_example.xml as below.

When I clicked the EditText, the virtual keyborad was not shown but sometime it was shown.

Here is the log filter by keyword "keyboard": log 

<EditText
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:text="This is EditText"
    android:textSize="20dp"
    android:textColor="@color/design_default_color_error"
    />

<!--Button-->
<Button
  android:id="@+id/ok_button"
  android:layout_height="36dp"
  android:layout_width="120dp"
  android:layout_gravity="center"
  android:text="Ok"
  android:background="@drawable/button_bg"
  android:textColor="#ffffff"
/>

Thank you for reporting this, the engineering team is looking into the issue.

We are working on a framework-level fix for this. However in the meantime we have a solution that should unblock you.

In your main VR activity (inherits from AppSystemActivity) add this line into your onCreate:

getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_ALT_FOCUSABLE_IM)

So this would look like:

import android.view.WindowManager
...

class MyVRActivity : AppSystemActivity() {
...

  override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    ...
    getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_ALT_FOCUSABLE_IM)
  }
}
