I'm developping a stock management application with Django for a customer's company, and want to use an ice cream sandwich tablet as the end-user device. I use an USB barcode reader which works fine.
My problem is that once the barcode reader is plugged in, it's recognized as a real keyboard, and I can't access the virtual keyboard anymore. This is a big issue for me, because I only use the barcode reader to encode EAN13 codes, and need the soft keyboard beside...
Is there any way to enable both virtual and real keyboards ? I really need help on this....
Thank you !
Android TV comes with an on-screen software keyboard named Gboard. The keyboard supports a wide range of features including speech-to-text (STT), which allows users to speak and have the speech automatically translated into text for input.
On an iPhone, iPad, Android smartphones and tablets, and most other mobile devices, tapping in a text field displays the virtual keyboard. There is no button or option you need to tap to access that keyboard.
A virtual keyboard is software that is used to emulate a standard keyboard. A picture of a keyboard is displayed on a computer screen and the user points and clicks on the pictures of keys to enter text. Switches activated in a wide variety of ways make use of the most appropriate muscles for the individual user.
Well, I found a solution to my problem ! (Don't know what to about the bounty now...)
When you enter a text area (eg : on the navigator), you just have to touch the keyboard icon on the left of the clock. There beside "Use physical keyboard", you have to choose "No".
I found that even like that, the barcode reader will still be active (yessss !) and the soft keyboard will popup too !
