Navigation drawer stealing focus

Question

HiI'm experiencing an issue in Xamarin.Android forms, I have an activity which has UI flags set to hide navigation. I also have a Xamarin forms page with contains a navigation drawer and in the navigation drawer content there is an Entry.SystemUiFlags.HideNavigationIf I tap on the entry to focus, the keyboard appears but the Entry loses focus immediately while the keyboard stays open, I have to re-tap the entry to regain focus. If I close the keyboard and try again the same issue repeats.If I remove the hide navigation flag in the activity this fixes the issue but unfortunately I need that flag so I can't just remove it.Everything works fine if I move the Entry outside of the navigation drawer (this is not specific to Entry and I have this problem with other controls), I've tried using tab index, tab stop, input transparency etc.

Hi Suganya,Thanks for the sample feedback, I appreciate I didn't provide enough information to recreate the issue.I've now managed to recreate the error on the sample project by adding a shell to the root of the app.I've attached a revised version of the sample app for examination.The replication procedure is much the same:- Navigate to page, - Tap the entry to focus and bring up keyboard- Entry loses focus.Many thanks,NeilAttachment: NavigationDrawerEntry2044929978REVISED_41139505.zip
