Access Anywhere automatically pops up keyboard

In the customer's project, they needs Access Anywhere on a touch screen device (most probably Android). The tablet user would need to type in a string value into an input box. When clicking on it with a PC, the popup allows you to type a string using your keyboard, but the problem is using a touch screen. The devices keyboard does not automatically pop up.

In Access Anywhere, you can click on the Access Anywhere toolbar > Click on Keyboard to manually bring up the keyboard. However, this takes up additional time and efforts and slows down processes. It would be nice to have keyboard automatically pop up when you click on an input field.

This would improve the efficiency of tasks and allows the Access Anywhere tablet UI to work as expected of standard tablet UI.
