native-activity and soft keyboard

[ogoffart]

I'm using AndroidApp::show_soft_input as an attempt to show the virtual keyboard with an app that uses the narive-activity feature. But the keyboard isn't shown.
I get this in the log:

10-18 12:42:34.557 18307 18307 I IMM_LC  : showSoftInput(View,I)
10-18 12:42:34.557 18307 18307 I IMM_LC  : ssi() - flag : 1 view : rust.todo reason = SHOW_SOFT_INPUT
10-18 12:42:34.557 18307 18307 I IMM_LC  : ssi() view is not EditText
10-18 12:42:34.558 18307 18307 I IMM_LC  : ssi() - cancel : servedView != view, servedView=DecorView@fd353e8[NativeActivity],focus=false,windowFocus=true,autofillUiShowing=false,window=android.view.ViewRootImpl$W@7778718,displayId=0,temporaryDetach=false,hasImeFocus=true, view=android.app.NativeActivity$NativeContentView{389d8c7 V.ED..... ......ID 0,0-1080,1947},focus=false,windowFocus=true,autofillUiShowing=false,window=android.view.ViewRootImpl$W@7778718,displayId=0,temporaryDetach=false,hasImeFocus=true

Is show_soft_input not working at all with NativeActivity or is this a bug?
(using android-activity 0.5)

Essentially this was an issue with NativeActivity / ANativeActivity_showSoftInput no longer working with newer versions of Android that have an extra internal check that the view passed to InputMethodManager.showSoftInput needs to be "served" (i.e have focus) and that's not true for the private view that NativeActivity creates.

This should now be fixed by #178 which should end up in the next 0.6.1 release.
