Android app does not popup keyboard for textbox

[riversedgedesigns]

I have a very basic app at the moment with a login. When I select the textbox no keyboard pops up for me to enter user info into textboxes. The textboxes are Text inputs from the components window.

Using latest version of Animate CC

I am using a Samsung Tab A with all the latest updates. 6.0.1

Doubt it makes a difference but I am using the direct deploy to my tablet through USB.

It's my first time diving into making an App with Flash/Animate CC so any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,Zach

enable the needsSoftKeyboard property for your textfield.  eg, for input_tf

input_tf.needsSoftKeyboard = true;
