As slime noted this should work somewhat automatically. Still this should be validated

Tested with USB keyboard plugged in via USB OTG and it works just fine. I think we can close this.

And the onscreen keyboard works as well?

How do I achieve opening of onscreen keyboard while running Love app?

Try love.keyboard.setTextInput(true).

I'll eventually update the function to optionally specify the rectangle for where the OSK should go, probably.

I confirm that calling love.keyboard.setTextInput(true) shows on-screen-keyboard and using it fires love.textinput(t) callback correctly.

Attaching main.lua for reference:

#!lua

function love.load()
    text = "Type away! -- "
    love.keyboard.setTextInput(true)
end

function love.textinput(t)
    text = text .. t
end

function love.draw()
    love.graphics.printf(text, 0, 0, love.graphics.getWidth())
end

True. But also your foresight to add setTextInput and love.textinput(t) was smart!
