Android Question With android 11 it doesn't show the keyboard, sometimes.

[vecino]

Hi, I have an application that has been running for many years on many clients and android of almost all versions.
Now, a client has a tablet with android 11 and the problem has arisen that when entering the "EditText" it does not show the keyboard... sometimes it does and sometimes it does not.

If I force to show the keyboard with IME (k.showkeyboard(edittext1) the result is the same, sometimes it shows and sometimes it doesn't show.
Is there something special to be aware of with android 11?

In other earlier versions of android it works normally.
Thanks.

a tablet with android 11

Is it a cheap Chinese tablet? If so it may just be that tablet.

Hello, these are 6 cheap Chinese tablets.
But the tablets of the same brand that I have installed before with older versions of Android are working fine.
The problem only occurs with these ones that have v11.

It’s a tablet issue I used to have this with cheap Chinese tablets. The Keyboard Show is managed by os I think.

Thank you all, friends
Other strange problems have also arisen, I will create another thread for that other topic.

So, isn't there some other way to force the keyboard to be displayed?

No. The IME API in Android is and always was badly designed. There is probably F... A... you can apart from try some decent quality devices.

I have a big problem to solve.
Let's see how I explain it to the customer.
