Android Keyboard Glitch

I am having an issue with the android version of a Titanium application. On iOS it works fine.

In the second window view when we click to enter a value in the following text field the keyboard will quickly appear and disappear again multiple times in a "glitchy". Then the keyboard will become stuck and even upon closing the application.

I have not been able to find any similar issues during internet searches.

if(isAndroid){
    var entry = Titanium.UI.createTextField({
        color: '#000000',
        backgroundColor: '#FFFFFF',
        keyboardType: Titanium.UI.KEYBOARD_NUMBERS_PUNCTUATION,
        returnKeyType: Titanium.UI.RETURNKEY_DONE,
        softKeyboardOnFocus: Titanium.UI.Android.SOFT_KEYBOARD_SHOW_ON_FOCUS,
        top: "9%",
        left: "1%",
        width: "49%",
        height: "12%",
        textAlign: 'left',
        font:{fontSize:"20%",fontFamily:'Roboto-Light', fontWeight:'bold'},
        hintText: 'Enter value'
    });
}
