    I'm use TMP Input field on Android.
    There are inputfield and some buttons in my UI. When I begin input text, keyboard shows, but when I tap on button, keyboard hides. And I must tap one more time to execute button method. How can I fix it?

    I want to tap on my UI buttons without keyboard hiding

    I need to check with the Android platform folks at Unity as this behavior is outside of the control of TMP.

    Ok, thx, I guess on iOS it will be the same, check it later.

    BTW, as one of decision of this problem I can set up "hide soft keyboard" and control show/hide by myself. But, it is not good variant.

    No, it doesn't work too. First hides keyboard, after, can tap on button. Yeah, it's not TMP trouble..

    I'm waiting for a solution for this as well.

    I'd like some way to keep an inputfield focused and the soft keyboard open while tapping buttons and scrolling a scroll view. This is how all chat clients work on android, surely it would be useful for unity to have a way to accomplish this?

    I've also noticed the chat system in Hearthstone on Android (a popular unity app) has this functionality. There must be some way!

    I would suggest submitting a bug report / feature request on this. I certainly agree that having the mobile keyboard constantly show / hide as focus changes isn't ideal.

    We are also facing this keyboard issue.
    Are there any plans to fix it so that the keyboard is always visible?

    @Stephan_B Hello,

    I'm making a chat too, and this problem is really bad.

    Is there any progress?
    Do you have a link for the bug report/feature request?

    Bumping this and the other thread as well. This is a severe issue preventing many including our team from creating a respectable/professional app that relies on messaging.
