my keyboard works when I am in main method.
I enter a child method and the keyboard does not work.

the same code works in c# windows.
I ported the code to C# xamarin.Android and i can not use the keyboard in the child method.
The window in the child method blanks out after 5 seconds.

I access the keyboard the same way in the main and child methods.

This is the c# code that calls the keyboard input in MainActivity:

     static string Getchnow()
     {
         while (MainActivity.return_set == 1){ } 
                     MainActivity.return_set = 1;
         return MainActivity.scankeyinput;
     }

This is the code that reads the keyboard input in MainActivity:

             var textV_3 = FindViewById<TextView>(Resource.Id.textView3); // TODO Is this view needed?if not remove from MainActivity.cs and xml
             var editV_1 = FindViewById<EditText>(Resource.Id.editText1);

             //This code reads keypress from EditText View 
             editV_1.TextChanged += (object sender, Android.Text.TextChangedEventArgs e) =>
             {
                 keyboardInput = e.Text.ToString();
                 if (keyboardInput != "")  // prevents crash doue to infinite EventChanged loop
             {
                     scankeyinput = "";
                 //               debugScanKeyInputLength = scankeyinput.Length; // DEBUG
                 keyboardInputLength = keyboardInput.Length;
                     if (keyboardInputLength > 0)
                     {
                         scankeyinput = keyboardInput.Substring(keyboardInput.Length - 1);
                         scankeychar = scankeyinput.ToCharArray(0, 1);
                         editV_1.SetText(scankeychar, 0, 0); // CLEARS EditView in a way that doesnot crash the app because it causes aTextChangedEvent
                     textV_3.Text = scankeyinput;
                         return_set = 0;
                         button_10.PerformClick(); //TODO should not be needed. //TODO Updating Screen is slow. Try a different approach to editing and commands.
                     }
                 }
             };
