Android keyboard support
On android, there is currently no way to input anything that takes keyboard input, not even with a bluetooth keyboard. If that could be implemented, then people would be able to make android apps much easier.
Hello @not-fl3 ,
Would you have time to look at what kind of modifications this requires so that I or someone can try to make it possible ? :)

Someone absolutely can! :D I would not do it myself until I will have a good case for this myself, I would like to have a nice good test case to make sure it absolutely do works, so will not promise that I will do it anytime soon
Okay. I personally have a case, my game require a login/password home page screen. I would be happy to implement it and add a test case in macroquad example folder. But, I don't know how to start :s

If you look in ndk-sys there are functions for bringing up the soft keyboard, and some events to go with it. You might have to add to miniquad before doing stuff with macroquad.
@sonicrules1234 I'm searching which ndk-sys function should be called. Is that ANativeActivity_showSoftInput ?

That's right.
Is there any progress on this? I would also like to be able to open the virtual keyboard when e.g. inside a editbox or input_text.
There are examples for virtual keyboard at quad-android-playground repository: https://github.com/not-fl3/quad-android-playground/blob/main/src/main.rs
