I have a problem with the keyboard/softinput in my Android Automotive application. I am using the SearchTemplate, and when I click in the search field after typing some letters, the app crashes. It happens if I click the magnifier-icon, or the text-field, but not the x-button (which empties the field). This only happens if I have started typing some letters in the search field. If the search field is empty and I click it, the only thing that happens is that it is focused.
This is the error message:
D/InputMethodManager: showSoftInput() view=androidx.car.app.activity.renderer.surface.TemplateSurfaceView{f2a6fbc VFE...... .F...... 0,0-1024,768 #7f0900ae app:id/template_view_surface aid=1073741824} flags=0 reason=SHOW_SOFT_INPUT

Code in onGetTemplate() function:
return SearchTemplate.Builder(
object : SearchCallback {
override fun onSearchTextChanged(searchText: String) {
if(searchText.isNotEmpty()){
searchCompleted()
getAddressFromName(searchText)
doSearch(searchText)
}
}
override fun onSearchSubmitted(searchTerm: String) {
mIsSearchComplete = true
searchCompleted()
doSearch(searchTerm)
}
})
.setShowKeyboardByDefault(true)
.setItemList(mItemList!!)
.build()
doSearch function:
fun doSearch(searchText: String) {
val builder = ItemList.Builder()
places.clear()
if (searchText.isEmpty()) {
mItemList = withNoResults(builder)?.build();
}
if (!isInternetConnection) {
CarToast.makeText(
carContext,
"Ingen internett tilgang",
CarToast.LENGTH_LONG
)
.show()
return
}
val destinations = getAddressFromName(searchText)
if(destinations.isNotEmpty()){
destinations.forEach{
val addressLine = it.getAddressLine(0)
builder.addItem(
Row.Builder()
.setTitle(addressLine)
.setOnClickListener { onClickSearch(it) }
.build())
}
mItemList = builder.build()
invalidate()
return
}
}
I have tried to remove the body of the onSearchTextChanged and onSearchSubmitted functions, to see if there is anything there that makes the app crash, but the app still crashes.
This is what the app looks like when it happens:
Typing one letter in the searchfield:
Then clicking the search field, and the app crashes:
I have tried to debug the issue and google it, but I can't find anything.
