Textfield does not show Keyboard on iOS Simulator

Question

I'm trying to build a simple login screen here using basic Textfields, but I can't get a keyboard to appear in the Simulator.
Input via the physical keyboard works just fine, but in the iOS Simulator there is no keyboard visible. Do I have to explicitly open it or something?

Feels like I'm missing something really basic here.

buildLoginScreen() { return new Container(   padding: EdgeInsets.only(left: 50.0, right: 50.0),   child: new Column(     children: <Widget>[       new TextField(         style: new TextStyle(color: Colors.white),         autofocus: true,         autocorrect: false,         decoration: new InputDecoration(           labelText: 'Login',         ),         onChanged: (text) { _userLoginEmail = text; },       ),       new TextField(         autofocus: false,         autocorrect: false,         obscureText: true,         decoration: new InputDecoration(           labelText: 'Password'         ),         onChanged: (text) { _userLoginPassword = text; },       )     ],   ), ); } 

Solution Turns out if the hardware keyboard is connected, it will suppress the software keyboard. cmd + shift + k disconnects the hardware keyboard or cmd + k toggles the software keyboard.

Answer 1

• CMD + Shift + K toggles connectivity of the hardware keyboard, which will open the software keyboard by default if the other one is disconnected.
• CMD + K toggles the visibility of the software keybaord.
