Bug Report: Input Field Not Allowing Text Entry on BubbleGo Preview (Android)

Hi Bubble Team,

First of all, thanks for creating such an amazing platform! I’m really enjoying using Bubble and coming up with a cool idea for the Summer contest!

This is my first time submitting a bug report for anything I’ve ever used, and I wasn’t really sure what to include. So, full disclosure: I used an AI model to help me format the details of what was going wrong into this report.

I came across an issue while testing my app preview on a mobile device (using BubbleGo), and I wanted to bring it to your attention. This bug occurred while I was going through Matt’s YouTube series.

Description of Bug: When previewing my app using the BubbleGo app on my Android device (Pixel 9 Pro) , I’ve noticed an odd behavior with input fields. Specifically, when I click on an input element within a view, the mobile keyboard briefly appears and then immediately closes. This happens repeatedly, preventing me from typing any text into the input field.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open the BubbleGo app on an Android device (Pixel 9 Pro).
  2. Navigate to a view that contains an input element.
  3. Tap on the input field.

Expected Behavior: The mobile keyboard should open and remain open, allowing me to enter text into the input field.

Actual Behavior: The mobile keyboard quickly opens and closes, making it impossible to type.

Here is a video I uploaded to Vimeo to show you the input’s behavior:

Here is a screenshot of the input field’s properties from the Bubble editor (in case I’ve missed a setting):

Thanks for looking into this! Please let me know if you need any more information.

Thank you so much for all the details. Super helpful. Would you mind submitting all of this as a bug report through our support page?

I have the same problem:

Same problem here. Any possible workarounds?

Hey everyone,

I think I found the culprit of the bug I encountered from my op.

Inside of the view’s properties:

  • When I have the “Show top app bar” turned ON (checked), the inputs break on me.
  • When I have it turned OFF (unchecked), the inputs work as expected.
