Software Versions

  • Python: 3.7.5
  • OS: android 7.1.2
  • Kivy: 1.11.1
  • Kivy installation method: apt / pip

Describe the bug
Keyboard look is not same as in other apps [native or with BEEWARE - also a python stuff for android]
There is missing text completion bar [with gifs picker, keyboard options etc]

kivy

and here beeware [and all other apps]
image

same
input_type: 'tel'
and
input_type: 'datetime'

are not respected, always have same keyboard, with no "top bar" [it is, but its empty]

Expected behavior
To have same keyboard in EVERY app, to have a native feeling in using app

To Reproduce
Just simple TextInput and "tap it" - on stock google keyboard

Additional context
If you dont have time, and its trivial, i can try to fix it by myself

just tell me where to start

i think it might be a difference on handler:
if java calls keyboard, its ok,
if kivy dispatcher, its not ok

It's more that no one who looked at it knew a fix or workaround. You may want to look at how kivy handles the keyboard for android and if perhaps it's not configured properly.

Hi matham

Problem is.. i was already trying, but there is "magic is happening" in this place, some dispatcher, with lot of not explicit functions.
Dont know where to start to be honest
