Textfield not working in air for android

Hi,

I have a weird problem. An input text component that works in air for desktop refuses to work in an air for android application.

It draws on the screen as it should but i cant input text. Am i missing something fundamental?

It is kind of hard to log in if i cant enter credentials

Here is the code:

   idFmt1= new TextFormat("arial",18,0x000000);

   idFmt1.align="left";

   _inputText= new TextField();

   _inputText.defaultTextFormat = idFmt1;
   _inputText.x=150;
   _inputText.height = 35;
   _inputText.width= 150;
   _inputText.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
   _inputText.background = true;
   _inputText.backgroundColor = 0xa0a0a0;
  
   _inputText.text = _initText;
   _inputText.tabEnabled = true;
   _inputText.tabIndex = 1;
   _inputText.displayAsPassword = false;
   _inputText.antiAliasType = flash.text.AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
   _inputText.embedFonts = true;
   _inputText.alwaysShowSelection = true;
   _inputText.mouseEnabled=true;
   addChild(_inputText);
