Keyboard doesn't opens

Using edit text in expanded view doesn't work.

There is a big problem at this point, the "focus" of a floating window depends on the android version and custom system. You can make a temp solution for all devices, you must require the focus to your edit text and enable the keyboard programatically.

// Get Android's focus
 editText.requestFocus()
// Activate the keyboard on click
 editText.setOnClickListener {
    enableKeyboard()
 }

And you can put the enableKeyboard() function in your Utils or something

    private fun enableKeyboard() {
        if (params == null) {
            Log.e("error_tag", "Not params found, can't enable keyboard")
            return
        }
        if (params!!.flags and WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE != 0) {
            params!!.flags = params!!.flags and WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE.inv()
            updateView()
            Log.v("dev_tag", "Updated floating window")
        } else {
            Log.e("error_tag", "View already focusable")
        }
    }

For this solution, the user must touch 2 times until the keyboard appears, you can remove the Log lines, i write this just for debug :P
