  1. Do you have that keyboard installed and selected on device ? if yes, you can open it by one of these ways programmatically: Forcing the Soft Keyboard open
  2. If you want to select an installed keyboard programatically and your app has system privileges, use this solution to switch keyboards ( activation ), Take a look on : https://stackoverflow.com/a/33999658/2267723
  3. Since your using Apache Corodva, you could ship a virtual keyboard (as html5 ) to app. Take a look on https://mottie.github.io/Keyboard/ to app and when user enters input, just call back your app with href with mimetype which is recognized by app.

Other solutions:

  1. Create on-screen keyboard ( Im not talking about custom keyboard ) its just layout as grid of buttons represents inputs.

  2. Attach a physical Bt/USB keyboard.

  3. Use a QR code . that would lead user to web where user can fill that form .. That would be free machine soon 🙂
