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:
https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/blob/2610330cfca7f43d2fa69e175f4b9c3d09338680/pythonforandroid/bootstraps/sdl2/build/src/main/java/org/libsdl/app/SDLActivity.java#L2005
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 https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/pull/2015, a bug similar to the swipe one appears.
P.S: You may want to see this and this.
This is great! Thanks! The bug you mentioned appears. I will continue replying to the pull thread you linked.
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.
