Description

Description

the android ImeOptions is set to Send. When you go that page on your android device and don't select anything else in the picker, setting the focus in the entrybox should give the send button, but it doesn't. Also if I try to set it in code behind in the constructor or OnAppearing() with entry.On<Android>().SetImeOptions(ImeFlags.Send);

it does not work. When you put a button on the page and put this code in the Clicked event it does work.

Tried it on android 7.0 and 7.1.2 View on Developer Community To find diagnostic information, see the original linked feedback ticket.

Research direction
Investigate why setting ImeOptions in XAML or constructor/OnAppearing does not work, but setting it in a button click event works. This might be due to timing of property application or native view creation.
