or this is called virtual keyboard ?

it would be nice to have such option in module (only works for android i know)

ive done my own GUI / Components set and one of them is virtual keyboard, but this is purely done in monkey without any native code in java for android

It's not only for Android, iOS devices have virtual keyboards too, so "native" Monkey functions to ShowKeyboard / HideKeyboard would be very welcomed.

To just show the Android keyboard:

	static void showKeyboard()
	{
		android.view.inputmethod.InputMethodManager inputMgr = (android.view.inputmethod.InputMethodManager)MonkeyGame.activity.getSystemService(android.content.Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
		inputMgr.toggleSoftInput(0, 0);
	}

And of course the Monkey Extern:

Function ShowKeyboard:Void() = "showKeyboard"

Although Im not sure how to actually read the keyboard from there, as you would normally link the keyboard to a component (eg an edittext)...
