In my Panasonic Android TV, the remote control stopped working on the on-screen keyboard after I connected a bluetooth keyboard. As I read in several forums, this is common problem with most Android TVs irrespective of brand, without solution. I then tried installing this keyboard app and not only this is simple & better but solved the issue. I can now again use both Remote Control & Bluetooth keyboard for the on-screen typing. Highly recommended for Android TV.

I can confirm that this keyboard works perfectly on the Sony Bravia XBR-65A9F OLED Android TV. Long story short, when you try to use a third party TV remote control that uses a USB dongle, the TV thinks that you have plugged in a keyboard, thus it deactivates the GBoard on screen keyboard (this happened after the Oreo update). I chatted with Sony Chat Tech Support, and they suggested I uninstall the GBoard update (didn’t work) or use the LeanBack keyboard (not available anymore since GBoard replaced it). I found this in the Play Store, installed it, and everything works perfectly now. Yay! Thank you LiskovSoft for making this as you made my TV work perfectly again with the third party Android remote :-). Kudos guys!

Had to use it on my Android TV because Gboard disables its virtual keyboard when a usb keyboard is detected. Don't want that. some apps only with properly with virtual keyboard. Only 4 stars because I hate seeing the language on the space bar when only 1 language is used. Any way you could hide the language in that situation?
