Soft keyboard not automatically coming up on Galaxy S9 in Android with AIR 31

I had the same issue in an AIR 32.0.0.116 app built for Android

The NativeText.as can be found here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cantrell/StageTextExample/master/src/NativeText.as

The difference in code would be that you don't pass true when you create the NativeText instance:

var nativeText:NativeText = new NativeText();
// instead of
// var nativeText:NativeText = new NativeText(true);

Take care and good luck!

Hi,

When I use this code:

var nativeText:NativeText = new NativeText(true);

nativeText.needsSoftKeyboard = false;

stage.addChild(nativeText);

nativeText.assignFocus();

stage.removeChild(nativeText);

nativeText = null;

I not have visual elements yet, I use the code at the beginning of the application initialization. And actually users not see keyboard rising. After that, when I add TextField it works OK.

You can see the NativeText class here:

NativeText.as - Google Drive

I forgot to mention that I initialize only once on application start.

After hours of exploration and experimentation. I was able to find a bypass way to solve this problem (bug maybe). It's not a clean way, but it works. I initialize a StageText class on which I initialize focus and then remove it.

NativeText is my class that implements StageText.

var nativeText:NativeText = new NativeText(true);

nativeText.needsSoftKeyboard = false;

stage.addChild(nativeText);

nativeText.assignFocus();

stage.removeChild(nativeText);

nativeText = null;
