Hey everyone!
I recently converted my 5.3 VR project to 5.4 and packaged for android without issues almost immediately.
VR recenter delegate has been fixed in 5.4 which got me excited for publishing, however there is a new issue.
The virtual keyboard does not appear (quest 2) when clicking a text box. This has never been an issue previously and I was wondering if anyone has a fix for it. So far my every attempt failed.
Any advice?
I have the same issue. Trying to use the old way with ManifestRequirementsOverride (Virtual Keyboard Quest 2, UE5.1) messes up with android permissions so Im stuck to. If you have a solution, please post it for us! Cheers
Same here, 6 months later. It used to work in 5.3.2. Is this still unresolved? Did you guys use the Meta UE Version or the Epic one?
here is easy fix
We fixed this and it now works w. vanilla UE without the MetaXR plugin: https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/f7b772542b89e93f2f74529bf09326859322af4b
in UE 5.4, i can’t use the keyboard, how use the keyboard?
Sorry for necro, Im in the same boat now.
Keyboard wont open in 5.5.3 Not sure what changed.
I linked the fix here: UE 5.4 Virtual Keyboard Issue - #5 by VictorLerp
You’ll have to compile either 5.5 and cherry pick the fix, or compile UE5/Main from source. The other two options are to wait until 5.6 is released, or use the MetaXR plugin as the plugin will add the required Android Manifest line that enables their custom virtual keyboard.
As an additional to this, weirdly I came to a scrappy fix which is simply to turn off “Enable improved virtual keyboard” in the project settings.
It works now, however I guess it isn’t the “Improved” One.
