I have this situation. If I connect Barcode scanner to my device (Android 4.4.2) then I cant use on screen keyboard. This virtual keyboard is not showing if I touch text fields.
Please it is possible to allow this virtual keyboard?
I found that it is possible to do it via InputMethodManager:
The last time that this issue was discussed it was not solved. I don't think that this Java code will work but you can try it with:
B4X:
Dim ctxt As JavaObject
ctxt.InitializeContext
Dim imm As JavaObject = ctxt.RunMethod("getSystemService", Array("input_method"))
imm.RunMethod("toggleSoftInput", Array (2, 0))
Hello, I see that this thread is very old, but I have encountered this same problem and I would like to ask if someone has found a solution to the problem.
Thank you.
