I did changes for text input support. Potentially it could break something. Check line activity.mKeyInTextView.requestFocus(); If null pointer exception occurred here then maybe something destroying text field mKeyInTextView. You can try this for stability improvement:

if(activity.mKeyInTextView != null)
activity.mKeyInTextView.requestFocus();

If this fixed problem, then need to find reason why object empty.
Of course its not a solution only will prove point that object mKeyInTextView been destroyed
somewhere.

public static void showKeyboard(boolean show)
{
InputMethodManager mgr = (InputMethodManager)mContext.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
mgr.hideSoftInputFromWindow(activity.mView.getWindowToken(), 0);

  if (show)
  {
     activity.mKeyInTextView.requestFocus();//<-------- check this line
     mgr.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, 0);
     // On the Nexus One, SHOW_FORCED makes it impossible
     // to manually dismiss the keyboard.
     // On the Droid SHOW_IMPLICIT doesn't bring up the keyboard.
  }

Hey @codeservice , thanks for adding the change. I'll try this in the next Pakka Pets build, if the error goes away I'll close this issue.

Let's assume this fixes it. If we get reports after building with NME that includes this change we should re-open. 95c15dc
