Just a comment I found interesting in regards to some earlier comments here, about the OSK actually showing up but then disappearing as a key on it is pressed. I was trying many different things to go about my problem of lack of OSK in my GTK app on the phone. One thing I did, was that I actually installed florence on my phone: $ sudo mount -o remount,rw / $ sudo apt-get install frorence $ sudo mount -o remount,ro / then, inside of my app I created a button labelled "OSK", and in the OnClick event of the button I have put:
Procedure Button2.Onclick(Sender: TObject); begin Unix.fpSystem('florence &'); end; Now, this is written in FreePascal/Lazarus, but the meaning is that I programatically call florence, and put it to background (&). ANd the thing is, the OSK actually DO show up! But just like in some earlier comments here about maliit OSK (which I can't get to show up, nor do I know a command to show it up programatically), once I press any button on it, it disappears. Only if I hit a button that is kayboard input anyways, if I hit a button on the OSK that is simply opening florence's OSK setting window, then that window does show up, with all the settings, and I can work in that window, then close it and the OSK is still there. Until I hit any keyboard input button. Then it disappears. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1572653 Title: keyboard does not show up on xenial To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-keyboard/+bug/1572653/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
