Android Keyboard Activation Issue

[Livecode XAC]

Rich,

I agree.  I think the syntax is there,  mobileControlDo <control> "focus"

it just doesn't do anything on Android, but it works fine on iOS.

Found the following in LiveCode QualityCenter.
   11468   Reported Nov-2103    Reported by Monte
   11180   Reported Sept-2013   Marked as duplicate of 11468
   18520   Reported Sept-2016   Marked as duplicate of 11468

Looks like this issue is well known, just nothing has been done with it.  
Creates a real problem providing a quaility user experience.

Is there any way to mark it so it gets looked at?
Dan

Regardless how the field is created, it seems we have no means of explicitly
giving focus to a mobile-native field programmatically.

If that's correct it would seem adding that would be a reasonable priority.

If that's incorrect I'd welcome learning what the syntax is.

A good deal of good UX depends on this sort of graceful guidance for the
user, which we can find in many competing apps.
