Software keyboard cannot be launched and I cannot type from TV

Solution: check Android system Keyboard setting
The cause was coming from the Current keyboard setting has changed. You can change it by going to [Setting] → [Keyboard] (on System Preferences row) → [Current keyboard].
When “Virtual Remote keyboard” was selected, it was the root cause. Change it to the other.
Leanback keyboard is the default keyboard behavior.
