QT6: Installing virtual keyboard

jcdelve

Hello! This might be a very quick fix, but basically my issue is that I can't get the virtual keyboard in my application to run. When I try and run my app, this is the error that comes up:

qrc:/main.qml:127:9: QML StackView: push: qrc:/service/passcode.qml:36 Type InputPanel unavailable
qrc:/QtQuick/VirtualKeyboard/content/InputPanel.qml:131 Type Keyboard unavailable
qrc:/QtQuick/VirtualKeyboard/content/components/Keyboard.qml:38 module "QtQuick.VirtualKeyboard.Plugins" is not installed

Now, this is my first app in QT6. I've had keyboards in QT5 before and they've worked, so I'm pretty sure it's not my code and my setup. I have the QT Virtual Keyboard module installed in the Maintenance Tool under my version.

Is there a reason why it still says it isn't installed?

did you call this in your main.cpp?
qputenv( "QT_IM_MODULE", QByteArray( "qtvirtualkeyboard" ) );

Oops, forgot to mention that I did put that in already.

And if this makes a difference, I can't get it in either windows or linux.

@jcdelve in pro file
#add virtual keyboard support
QTPLUGIN += qtvirtualkeyboardplugin

Haha I've got that already too.

check this one out. Not sure if helps. I have not started to use Qt6. Good luck!

To add more information:

InputPanel causes these errors to show up - if I remove InputPanel, then the app runs fine. But the TextInput does not show a keyboard, although I can type in it from my physical one.

@jcdelve did you solve it?
