I’m trying to auto focus input field in ionic 5. We had this exact same problem in previous version that we used ( ionic 3 ) that standard directives don’t work at all or don’t work properly … I found the autofocus directive for ion-input, but the problem is it works like 50% of the times, when it feels like it ( on the device ) … so my question: is there a proper solution to this ( now at least 4 year old ) problem, or do I need to write a hacky directive to this again? Is there a built in directive which will focus the default input ( and pop the keyboard up as it should ) reliably on all platforms?
I compile the app, make apk, install it on the device, kill the app ( if exists in the task manager ) then i start it and try to navigate to the page, and field should be auto focused - then i kill the app again, open it, navigate etc. I tried it , works only 20% of the times. So I’m glad it works for you, and that might give me a glimpse of hope. Does anyone have any idea what could cause it?
