I downloaded the app to my kindle fire HD10 7th gen but when trying to import songs from online the keyboard will not pop-up so I can type what I'm looking for.  Any help of suggestions?

Hi there, 

Does the keyboard show up on other text boxes?  For example, clock on the ? Icon in the top bar to open the search options and try typing in that box.

I'm assuming you don't have a keyboard or pedal connected (wired or Bluetooth)?  Android does not show the on screen keyboard when it thinks you have a physical keyboard instead unless you tell it to do so in the keyboard settings of the device.

Yes, it seems to open in the other boxes that require typing. No pedals or keyboard connected.

I've had similar issues on my HD10 9th Gen. Happened when editing song lyrics. Sometimes the keyboard would shortly appear and directly afterwards disappear. This only seemed to happen when the cursor was at the end of a line / an empty though and as far as I remember not every time.

I've added a keyboard check to the text box that should reopen the keyboard after 1 second if it hasn't show up.  This will be in the next release (will likely be released on Monday/Tuesday).  Can you let me know if this fixes it for you.

I downloaded the October 19th update and restarted the tablet.  Still having the same problem.

Gareth,


Thanks for all your work.  I will let you know as soon as I get loaded.

Hi Eric,

I've just pushed another attempt to fix the issue.  If you tap on the text box, it should show the keyboard.  I've also added a long press action to also show the keyboard and as a final attempt, on FireOS devices, I've added a keyboard icon button at the far right of the edit text box that you can click on.

Can you let me know how you get on with v6.5.6 (pushed to the Amazon app store just now, but it usually takes a few hours before it goes live).

Best wishes,
Gareth

The keyboard problem has been fixed, thanks, but now another problem has arisen in the "Edit or Change current theme" option. When I click on this option, the application minimizes!

That's great news Eric.  Can you confirm if you had to use the long press or end button, or did it just work as expected?  If it worked as normal, I will remove the long press action as it interferes with selecting text.

Hi,

Does the app crash when you try to open the theme options?  You can check Settings > About > App usage logs > Crash log and share that with me.  I'm pretty confident that this is unrelated to the keyboard issue.

It worked as expected. Didn't need to long press

Thanks again
