gboard and bluetooth keyboard problem

by paiorioto

im using a tcl tv with android. With gboard enabled a connected bluetooth keyboard does not have the correct language, it is stuck on english so wrong letters.

using the inbuilt t-ime keyboard works with bluetooth. Is it not possible to change the hardware language in gboard?

In android, physical keyboard settings are separate to on-screen keyboard settings.

Under keyboard, when the keyboard is connected, there should be an option for physical keyboard, and you can set the language/layout there.

ok, fixed it.

Installed macrodroid and did the adb commands.

so, on keyboard connect choose external keyboard helper and disconnect choose gboard.
