Keyboard doesn't appear when using the time input fields in the opening hours quest

[cyclingcat]

Hi there,

@TurnrDev's comment (#2795 (comment)) inspired me to try it out myself and found out that this issue doesn't occur with each time picker:

How to Reproduce

• Find an opening hours quest and open the associated time picker.
• Instead of choosing the time from the time picker, tap on the keyboard icon. A form with two fields (hour/minute) appears.
• Tap into one of the two fields. You would expect the (numeric) keyboard to appear, but nothing happens. It's impossible to enter a time here, you have to go back to the time picker by tapping on the clock icon.

However, this bug does not appear with the time picker of the post box collecting times quest. Here the keyboard appears as expected.

Versions affected

Tested with two devices with Android 8.1 and 9.0 repectively. SC v31.3 on each.

I suspect some Android fuckery that needs to be worked around.

After all it's conspicious that one quest shows this bug while another doesn't. Maybe some other participants with different devices and Android flavours/versions could test if they get this effect too?

I can confirm both points (failure of keyboard to pop up on opening hours quest, but opening normally on postbox collection times quest. On Huawei P30 Pro, EMUI 11 (Android 10), StreetComplete v31.3 (from f-droid)

Same for me, Android 10 / Nokia 2.2 / StreetComplete 31.3

Interestingly, that same SC v31.3 (from f-droid) does not show the keyboard icon at all on older Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 pro with MIUI 10.2 (Android 6.0.1).

But it also shows difference between opening hours and postbox collection times quests: former shows android time picker with 12hour am/pm, and latter show 24hour variant (which was mentioned in some other issue IIRC), even after full uninstall / install SC cycle.

Oh, that's a bug. Can you create a report for that?

On Android 7.0 I can't find where there's the option to do keyboard entry at all 🤷
Tapping on the numbers changes between minutes and hours (setting an hour also swaps to minutes).

[westnordost]

That's a feature that was added only in later android versions

[westnordost]

It's part of the Android time picker, this is not a widget from STreetComplete. Which is why my earlier comment.

Just going to ping @tapetis here as he often knows the correct answer/workaround to Android-related issues 😄
