i was having trouble compiling for android i was using using std::string , std::vector in my code and it didn’t compile (only on android ). never mind replaced them with TArray and FString and was able to compile.
but the SVirtualKeyboardEntry works only on iOS not on android
the post says that android support will come soon but how soon is that.
a month has past and it is not fixed in 4.3.0 that i am currently using and i really need this.
can you give me and estimate
thanks.
