Keyboard does not show in some side-loaded apps

by crytoy

I have installed nzbLeech on my Xiaomi Mi Box 3s, when trying to search, the keyboard does not show. Does anyone have a work-around when keyboard does not show on Android Tv?

Bluetooth keyboard. A mouse might help with some sideloaded apps.

Unfortunately, sideloaded apps are not optimized for AndroidTV and workarounds, including hardware is sometimes needed.

It's a pain that more developers don't make their apps for this format, but until Google shows some love to their own AndroidTV platform/apps, developers will continue to support it at this slow trickle.
