Soft keyboard showing when in VR mode #545

Closed bluemarvin closed 6 years ago

bluemarvin commented 6 years ago

I just upgraded our application that was using 1.120 to 1.130 and now anytime a Text Edit View gets focus, the system soft keyboard covers the screen. Is this a regression or do I need to do something additional to prevent the keyboard from showing. For context we are drawing native android ui elements offscreen to a surface texture for displaying in our 3D scene.

I'm not aware of any specific change that might have caused this. Are you using the GVR SDK directly, or one of the engines (Unity/Unreal)? Is your application manifest identical to what is was previously?

It is a native app using the GVR SDK directly. I just tried to verify that 1.130 was the cause but now I can reproduce on 1.120 as well. Something must have changed in my app but I don't see anything obvious. I've tried adding android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden" to the activity with no effect. So I guess while upgrading to 1.130 is not the issue the fact that the soft keyboard is covering the VR window is still an issue.

One additional data point: My app application can switch between a Launcher activity and a Daydream activity. If I switch back and forth once, the soft keyboard seems to stop showing in VR mode when giving focus to a text edit view.

@bluemarvin this is an Android framework issue since GVR doesn't do anything special for the Android IME. Consider overriding the TextView with a custom class that handles all the focus events. Or you might be able to use TextInputView.setInputType to avoid bringing up the keyboard.

Yeah, you might also try explicitly/programatically adjusting focus when the Daydream Activity is shown. Feel free to re-open the issue if you think this is specific to Daydream.

For anyone else that run into this issue. TextView.setShowSoftInputOnFocus(false) seems to work.
