Hi
my son and I just finished our first thunkable app.
It displays Location and Orientation sensor’s data to show current location, speed and altitude. It also displays a compass.
You can save the location and share it.
Here is the screenshot
I do have one question I couldn’t find answer to. Is it possible to automatically show keyboard in notification. After it is clicked on Save button a notification pops up but you also have to click on a field to show keyboard and I would like that to be done automatically:

@VITKAdesign Congratulations on your first app. Yes you can toggle keyboard. Try the below extention there is a block for togglekeyboard. You can call the event along with the notifier component.

Hi
Thanks for a quick answer. I tried to toggle keyboard but with no success. I tried it like this (see screenshot) and it only triggers a Enter location name Notifier but no keyboard.
