Libgdx camera.zoom is not zooming for me

I am creating a game using libgdx for android. On my highscore screen when the user clicks the textfield to enter their name the onscreen keyboard appears and just covers the textfield so the user can not see what they are typing. To counter this I am trying to zoom my camera in to the textfield but when I use the zoom feature nothing happens and I don't understand why. Can anyone please point me in the right direction. Thanks. Below I am trying to zoom in when the textfield is clicked.

 textscore.addListener(new ClickListener(){
            public void clicked(InputEvent e, float x, float y) {

                camera.zoom =2; //zoom in

             textscore.getOnscreenKeyboard();
             stage.setKeyboardFocus(textscore);
            }
        });

//in show
camera = new OrthographicCamera(Gdx.graphics.getWidth(),
Gdx.graphics.getHeight());
camera.setToOrtho(false, W,H);

    stage.addActor(textscore);
    textscore.setVisible(true);
     textscore.addListener(new ClickListener(){
            public void clicked(InputEvent e, float x, float y) {
                System.out.println("focused");
                camera.zoom -= 2;

             //textscore.getOnscreenKeyboard();
             //stage.setKeyboardFocus(textscore);
            }
        });

In render

camera.update();

first thing is better use

    camera.zoom += 2; //zooming out
    camera.zoom -= 2; //zooming in

secondly you've probably forgotten about

    camera.update();

after setting its new zoom
