Bug 3187

Summary: SDL_StartTextInput() doesn't show up keyboard when it's called immediately after SDL_StopTextInput().

Description Hak Matsuda 2015-11-21 01:01:29 UTC 
On Android, SDL_StartTextInput() doesn't show up keyboard when it's called immediately after SDL_StopTextInput().
When the issue happens, SDL_IsTextInputActive() still thinks an input session is going on.

Repro step:
1) Show SW keyboard by SDL_StartTextInput().
2) Invoke SDL_StopTextInput() to hide keyboard.
3) Call SDL_StartTextInput() before SW keyboard is hidden completely.

I don't have an Android environment to test this at the moment, but it's possible that Android refuses to reshow the keyboard before the hiding animation completes.

It's strange that SDL_IsTextInputActive() returns SDL_TRUE, though, since it checks for something that SDL_StopTextInput() should have disabled:

Maybe this has changed recently in SDL, I don't know. Was this happening with SDL 2.0.3, or a newer version from revision control?

I've tried and couldn't reproduce it. Maybe it has been fixed in the meantime.

Please re-open if you still think this occurs!
