I have installed few Android apps (Sports tracker and Spotify) today I realized that both apps do not activate the vkb and thus it is not possible e.g. to logon to Spotify nor Sports Tracker.

Any hints why the vkb doesn't activate on text fields automatically and how to fix the situation?

Both apps are installed by downloading the apk files from apk downloader and the intalled via file browser

I've not tried spotify and sporys tracker, but i've noticed that vkb is not activated for android apps. so far i am able to activate the vkb by clicking in text boxes again

@Hess thanks for the comment, but perhaps I was bit too hasty as reeboting Jolla made the trick and text fields came alive again with vkb thus making the entries possible again.

It could be that I had too many SF apps open and there was not enough resources to trigger the vkb, when requested.

However now the new issue is that Android version of Spotify doesn't play any sound. But for that I'll post new question as this post can be closed based on the current status of vkb issue.
