Qt.inputMethod.show () doesn't show any keyboard

[TheIndependentAquarius]

Considering:


TextInput and TextEdit's openSoftwareInputPanel() and closeSoftwareInputPanel() methods have been removed. Use the new Qt.inputMethod property and call Qt.inputMethod.show() Qt.inputMethod.hide() to show and hide the virtual keyboard.

import QtQuick 2.3
import QtQuick.Window 2.2

Window
{
id: root
visible: true
width: 600
height: 557

Rectangle
{
id: numberInputBox
height: 500
width: 300
border.color: "green"

TextInput
{
id: textInput
font.pixelSize: 20
cursorVisible: true
height: 500
width: 300

MouseArea
{
anchors.fill: parent
onClicked:
{
Qt.inputMethod.show()
console.log("getPrinted")
}
}
}
}

}

The text from console.log gets printed but I cannot see any keyboard on screen.
