[Android] Keyboard does NOT close by any action after beeing opened by autofocus on inputfield widget.

[DimitarStoyanov91]

Steps to reproduce

1. Create emulator Pixel XL API 33 in Android Studio
2. Clone 'git@github.com:Prime-Holding/widget_toolkit.git'
3. Open in Android Studio widget_toolkit->packages->widget_toolkit->example
4. Checkout branch 'fix-patrol-debug'
5. Check test 'edit_fields_test.dart'
6. Run command patrol test --target integration_test/tests/edit_fields_test.dart

Actual results

We have a widget with autofocus on the input field, which causes the keyboard to appear.
The normal flow would be that the keyboard hides after clicking a "Save" button.
Unfortunately when the test clicks "Save" the keyboard stays on the screen and hides other
widgets underneath it. We tried $.native.tap() on some elements on the screen, but that did
not hide the keyboard.

Update:
Tried also this approach:
Future nativeEnterText(var widget, String inputText) async { await $(widget).tap(): await checkWidgetVisibility(widget); await $.native.enterText(Selector(focused: true), text: inputText, keyboardBehavior: KeyboardBehavior.showAndDismiss); }
This works fine for positive cases, but fails to enter the text when there are multiple invalid inputs
for that field and a final step with valid input that is accepted.

Hi, the easiest solution to make this test passing is to close keyboard manually by putting await $.native.pressBack(); after line 18 in edit_fields_test.dart.
Keyboard's behaviour seems unexpected so I'll try to come back to this case, maybe we can fix that in patrol.
Let me know if it solves all cases you have.

@fylyppo Thanks for the fast response! Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be a good workaround for us, since we have a lot of tests and we have a lot of places with this widget. This will require refactoring to most of our tests. We will wait for a more generic fix, before we jump into workarounds. I am available for more comments, questions, etc.

@DimitarStoyanov91 any chance it is related to this: #2111 (comment) ?

Hello @b055man,
It seems the second part fits our issue "the keyboard does not close when the text field edit is done / the focus is lost - it stays on forever (can't really close it even when tapping back in the emulator)", please keep in mind @fylyppo noted this "Hi, the easiest solution to make this test passing is to close keyboard manually by putting await $.native.pressBack(); after line 18 in edit_fields_test.dart.". However, I can not confirm this part "Also, these tests worked fine with previous Patrol (2.3.2) and as mentioned they work fine if 2.0.1+1 version of the package is used."

Have the same problem. Got 3 solutions atm in my tests code.

1. Open and close notifications (native)
2. Scroll to the widget (use scrollTo)
3. Use enterText directly into the finder without tapping the textField widget

Would very much like a fix for this.
