florisboard
It returns always to the default keyboard
Environment information
- FlorisBoard Version: 0.3.4
- Install Source: GitHub
- Device: Samsung a50
- Android version, ROM: Android 10
Steps to reproduce
- Go to theme mode
- Change it, for example follow system or any other value
- Quite
- It returns to the default keyboard
It doesn't when you change the theme mode and directly you go to the home screen of FlorisBoard
Also it happened when I choose a custom keyboard color
This indicates that reapplying the new theme mode upon existing results in a fatal Exception, in which case the Android system sometimes switches back to the default keyboard. I will definitely have to investigate this further, as this should absolutely be avoided.
You can see the bug in this screen recording https://youtu.be/gJhzRI3AXOY
Same problem for 0.3.5, I can't use The app 😕, it's still returning to the default keyboard
@heberjeur Sorry I completely oversaw your issue when fixing the adaptive themeing. Based on your video I think you have a crash which happens upon closing the Settings activity. This will also crash the Service IME class with it. On most devices, the Service is re-instantiated upon clicking on an input field. It seems that your device immediately returns to the default keyboard for whatever reason. I will try to fix this, as I can reproduce this bug on one of my emulated devices.
@heberjeur I've been able to reproduce the crash but was unable to fix it yet, as the crash is indirectly produced, not directly. I will inform you of any progress on this issue.
I have a similar problem, while typing (without me changing the settings) the keyboard closes and the system keyboard appears. if I then reopen the floriskeyboard application I have the message that I have to change the default keyboard. i am using the dark theme.
I have: samsung galaxy s6, android 7.0
@Stenafo This seems like a crash to me, but not related to this one here. The output is the same, though closing the Settings crashes an input channel and I don't know why and how to fix it. Your described behavior more seems like that FlorisBoard encounters a crash and then switches back to the default keyboard while in the keyboard context. As you said you are seeing a message that you have to switch back to the default keyboard - If this is from FlorisBoard and not the system, you can click on it and copy the stacktrace, which would definitely help me fixing this. Could you open a new issue for this? Thanks in advance!
@patrickgold I suppose it's a floris problem because I've never had this problem with any other keyboard. where can i find the stacktrace?
@Stenafo Wen you get the notification which tells you that FlorisBoard is reverting to the default keyboard, you can click it and copy the stacktrace displayed into an issue at GitHub.
@patrickgold unfortunately I don't have any kind of notification, surely the keyboard crashes and the system resets the default keyboard without reporting anything.
@Stenafo I have an idea: maybe you are accidentally triggering the space bar swipe up gesture, which brings you to the last used keyboard (mostly this is the default keyboard). Try disabling it in Settings > Gestures > Space bar swipe up (Set it to No action). If it then does not occur anymore we know the source of this behavior.
@patrickgold hahahahahah omg sorry yes, that was the problem, maybe it's better to remove that default setting
@heberjeur Thanks for letting me know! Great to hear that it has to been resolved in the latest version for you. I am not sure though why it has been resolved, as I didn't even do some specific fix for this... I will let this issue open to further investigate into this.
