Hello, Po-san.

To be honest, I don't know why. At first, I tried just changing

sharedUserId and APK signature, but id that didn't work(cannnot access

files from both Emacs and Termux due to "Permission Denied").

Yes, but I use soft keyboard that doesn't support force show/hide keyboard like Hacker's keyboard(which can show/hide keyboard even when focus is on no editable widget like Emacs' splash screen).

So after this patch applied, I use 'Back' buttons to hide keyboard, and 'Overview' to show hidden keyboard, again.
