Ok.. so i used the Mobile Keyboard as Stencyl says in http://www.stencyl.com/help/view/mobile-features/  .
By the way it says that its only available for IOS but i was able to open the keyboard on my android as well.. The only problem is that no matter what i do i cant make it to Draw anything that it is typed.. The event log shows that it sees the input given when i press anything on the keyboard but nothing shows on screen when the drawn command is given.
So is there something I am not doing right or is it that no matter what i do i cant have keyboard input on a android devise with the command <When mobile keyboard is typed> ?

That is exactly the reason why it doesnt work on Android.
I have uploaded a virtual keyboard package which you can use to create a keyboard for android. It's kinda cartoney but once you know how to use it, you might come up with your own system. On my old youtube page i have uploaded a tutorial on how to create a virtual keyboard with stencyl for android.

First of all thanks for the help..  :)
Sdieters i like your virtual keyboard, i will certainly use it as it seems.. Does it work for Ios too ?
To Innes, unfortunately as you already feared i am not able to access the thread, so could you please ask how things are going with this?

Thanks to both of you, i am leaving the post open for a while more so we don't need to start a new topic, even though my question seems to be answered to one point.

Sdieters i tried downloading your package through StencylForge and i cant, it sends an error that maybe the resource was not fully loaded to their servers.
I thought you should know it...

Im afraid its on Stencyls side since it has always worked. Even the newly uploaded resources pack from me have that problem. When im home i will send the package via the forum

Abliblablobla has developed an updated version of the android keyboard extension. We will integrate it directly into Stencyl when it is fully confirmed to be working.

Please test it and let us know how well it works for you.

Sorry for the long delay, i was into some family matters and everything got settled back.
The extention seems to be working fine. I don't know if others have found any bugs but for what i wanted to do with it it seems to be working just fine. Cant wait to see it fully implemented.
