calling the Android soft keyboard from a C++ file

Question

I am facing some issues in calling the Android soft keyboard from a C++ file. I have a project in C++ and I need to show and use the native soft keyboard in some screens. I am compiling all the code with NDK. Can anybody provide a suggestion on how to use the soft keyboard in a native / C++ application ? Thanks in advance for your help. Regards, Maidul
