QT virtual keyboard on embedded linux target

arunshah

I ported the virtual keyboard example on an embedded linux target. But the keystrokes are not populated to the Text fields. On logging; I am getting the error "input method is not set" when I try to use qt virtual keyboard.

Note : I had set
qputenv("QT_IM_MODULE", QByteArray("qtvirtualkeyboard"));

before launching the QGuiApplication.

Any pointers on what could be the issue.

Found the solution. Following workaround works for me:

TextArea {
    onActiveFocusChanged: {
        if(activeFocus) {
            Qt.inputMethod.update(Qt.ImQueryInput)
        }
    }
}

Works with other controls as well.
