Versions

  • buildozer = 0.39
  • Kivy = 1.11.1
  • Cython = 0.29.13
  • p4a = master
  • SDK/NDK = default (commented out in buildozer.spec)

Devices & keyboards:

  • Samsung S7 (8.0.0), LG Stylo 4 (8.1.0)
  • Samsung Keyboard, Swiftkey

Description

When editing TextInput word suggestion tab does not show above Swiftkey/Samsung keyboard
Swipe dos not work as well (path shows up on Samsung keyboard but no word shows up).
Google Voice input works fine.
Setting keyboard_suggestions to True (which is suppose to be True by default) does nothing.

As Kivykeyboardtester-0.5-debug.apk by @inclement gives exactly the same behavior I wonder whether it is my phone/keyboard fault or I do something wrong, or something is wrong with SDK2 (sorry if this was reported earlier).
I get the same behavior in the new Kivy Launched and when I build an apk.
I remember having the same issue about a year ago (and it was reason to stop playing with kivy). I remember that old Kivy Launcher (based on pygame and python2?) was working fine.
I would appreciate any hints.

The reason you're not getting suggestions is here:

python-for-android/pythonforandroid/bootstraps/sdl2/build/src/main/java/org/libsdl/app/SDLActivity.java

Line 2005 in 2610330

outAttrs.inputType = InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT | InputType.TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_VISIBLE_PASSWORD;

TYPE_TEXT_VARIATION_VISIBLE_PASSWORD shows a keyboard for password fields. That's why you don't see suggestions, even if keyboard_suggestions is set to True.

Removing that input type should fix your issue, but as mentioned in #2015, a bug similar to the swipe one appears.

P.S: You may want to see this and this.

You're welcome. There's something I want to add:
At the time I'm posting this, keyboard_suggestions shouldn't work as expected, because it is not linked properly to any keyboard behavior. That said, if you turn keyboard_suggestions to False, you will see suggestions anyway.
We can keep the conversation in the PR then.
