Is it possible to change the virtual keyboard used by an Android client (Samsung Galaxy S6, Android 7) with "Input" widgets?

I've added a property to make that possible.

Hi again!

I've taken a more in depth look at the numeric property and I've found something that could be improved. I don't need this in particular (I know how to create my own keyboard! - backspace button included :grin:), but I just thought it's worth mentioning it.

To be observed:
If the numeric property is true, tapping on the Input widget a second time will indeed open the numeric keyboard (hurray!), but the old behavior (in which the number entered beforehand is autoselected) is replaced with what also happens on my winOS tablet computer.

This is what I came up with (as a workaround):

setTimeout(function() {
set('this', undefined, {send: false})
}, 1000)
