Description

When adding a new block, both while having the keyboard open or closed, the Android keyboard occasionally will not display open, even though the cursor is shown to be in the newly added block. Contrastingly, iOS always appropriately open the keyboard.

UPDATE (made by @fluiddot ): As outlined in this comment, this issue is happening more often so it should no longer be considered an occasional.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

  1. Launch Android app.
  2. Add new post.
  3. Add a paragraph block with text.
  4. Add another text block.

Expected behaviour

The Android keyboard is open to match the fact the cursor is placed in the new block and ready for text entry.

Actual behaviour

Occasionally, the Android keyboard is closed, even though the cursor is within the new block.

I'm experiencing this issue every time I insert a text block from the block picker in the latest version 19.6-rc-1, so maybe it shouldn't be considered as an occasional issue 🤔.

@mchowning I see we marked this issue as Low priority, however, since it's happening more often we might consider increasing the priority, wdyt?

That makes sense. I'll go ahead and bump it up to high priority in light of "I'm experiencing this issue every time I insert a text block from the block picker", but go ahead change that if you think that something else is more appropriate.

Thanks for updating it @mchowning, I think high priority makes more sense as it's happening more often 🙇 . I'm also going to update the title and description of the issue to reflect this change.

fix: Avoid iOS block appender focus loop
de1d880 
The focus callback triggered by Aztec-based programmatic focus events
can result in focus loops between rich text elements.

Android: This intentional no-op function prevents focus loops
originating when the native Aztec module programmatically focuses the
instance. The no-op is explicitly passed as an `onFocus` prop to avoid
future prop spreading from inadvertently introducing focus loops. The
user-facing focus of the element is handled by `onPress` instead.

See: wordpress-mobile/gutenberg-mobile#302

iOS: Programmatic focus from the native Aztec module is required to
ensure the React-based `TextStateInput` ref is properly set when focus
is *returned* to an instance, e.g. dismissing a bottom sheet. If the ref
is not updated, attempts to dismiss the keyboard via the `ToolbarButton`
will fail.

See: wordpress-mobile/gutenberg-mobile#702

The Android keyboard is, likely erroneously, already dismissed in the
contexts where programmatic focus may be required on iOS.

- #28748
- #29048
- wordpress-mobile/WordPress-Android#16167

Programmatic swapping focus from element to another often leads to focus
loops, only delegate the programmatic focus if there are no elements
focused.

* fix: Programmatic Aztec input focus only updates internal ref

Programmatically swapping input focus creates an infinite loop if the
user taps a different input in between the programmatic focus and
the resulting update to the React Native TextInputState focused element
ref. To mitigate this, the Aztec now updates the focused element ref,
but does not call the native focus methods.

* Mobile - DefaultBlockAppender and BlockList Footer placeholders - Removes inline functions and other minor code style changes

* Mobile - AztecView - Trigger _onFocus within _onAztecFocus to prevent having a RichText component focused while another block is selected

I'm doing a sweep of high priority issues for the Gutenberg repo and noticed this issue has greatly stalled out despite the label. To keep these issues actionable and relevant, I've removed this high priority label. Feel free to add back if you all are able to replicate, confirm the widespread nature of the problem, and believe quick action is needed.

👋🏻 @fluiddot @geriux. Do the recent usability improvements in #57069 and #57070 improve this absent Android keyboard on block insertion issue at all?

Hey @dcalhoun 👋 this should be fixed with those recent changes so I'll close this ticket 🚀
