Predictive text not working on Keyboards

[manojSF3414]

Android application type

Classic Xamarin.Android (MonoAndroid12.0, etc.)

Affected platform version

Android 11

Description

Hi,
I was unable to get text predictions with EditText API using the Samsung keyboard and swift keyboard. there were no issues while using the Gboard.
We have used the input type below

EditText.InputType = Android.Text.InputTypes.TextFlagAutoCorrect |
    Android.Text.InputTypes.TextFlagAutoComplete |
    Android.Text.InputTypes.TextFlagMultiLine |
    Android.Text.InputTypes.TextVariationFilter;

I have attached a runnable sample with only edit text control in the application

KeyboardIssueSample.zip

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open the application KeyboardIssueSample.zip
2. with the swift keyboard or Samsung keyboard as default try to edit the text using the edit text control
3. No text predictions will occur even after selecting the types Android.Text.InputTypes.TextFlagAutoCorrect | Android.Text.InputTypes.TextFlagAutoComplete

Did you find any workaround?

Ultimately, all Xamarin.Android does is provide generated wrappers that allow you to call Google’s Android API. We do not have much expertise in how to use those API’s properly.

You will likely need to use the Android API documentation and relevant forums to determine how to write code for your desired outcome.
