Keyboard does not show up automatically when using Dialog.Input on Android

Description

Even if I set autoFocus={true} on Dialog.Input, when the dialog opens the keyboard will not appear until I click on the input field.

Reproducible Demo

<Dialog.Container visible={showAddTagForm} onBackdropPress={handleCancel} onRequestClose={handleCancel}>
<Dialog.Input
autoFocus={true}
autoCapitalize='none'
maxLength={35}
onChangeText={onChangeText}
onSubmitEditing={() => handleSubmit(newTag)}
value={newTag}
placeholder="Add new tag here"
/>
<Dialog.Button label="Cancel" onPress={handleCancel} />
<Dialog.Button label="OK" onPress={() => handleSubmit(newTag)} />
</Dialog.Container>

I noticed that the issue does not happens and the keyboard is showed automatically if you render the Dialog.Container component conditionally (in my case with showAddTagForm && <Dialog.Container>) instead of just relying on the visible prop.

Also seeing this. When using it for apps on non touch devices (chromecast, tv etc.) I don't see a way to bring the keyboard up as I can't click into the textbox

Dialog.Input also accepts all the React-Native's TextInput component props.

Try adding the autoFocus prop to your Dialog.Input.
