Open keyboard when device locked

Hello everyone,

I am making a program to connect to a wifi network manually, and it work when the device is unlocked. But when the device is locked, the keyboard will not open up for the input dialog. Is there a way to still open the keyboard?

Device: Vernee Thor on Android 7.0 (mobile phone not-rooted)

PS: I am Dutch and sorry for my bad English.

If device is locked, nothing will be shown, for security reason.
You have to unlocked it first, probably need to turn on screen, wait for a while and if you use swipe only, you can try dismiss keyguard.

If you use password/pin locked, need to disable it first, and reenable it again after the flow finish.
Automagic need Device Admin permission to perform the unlocking function.
