Just installed CDDA on Android and the shortcuts on the bottom do not appear, or sometimes they appear and disappear if my virtual keyboard appears and I can’t get it back.

Any fix or workaround for this?

I’ve seen multiple issues on the github but all of them got closed due to no activity.

    For future readers:

    Shortcuts bar is still broken, but at least I found some consistency in how it appears and disappears. So here’s how to play CDDA on android.

    Launch the game. Shortcuts bar will be invisible. Don’t touch anything, let the game fully load into main menu.

    Now do the “back” gesture of your android by swiping from side edge of your screen.

    Nothing will happen at first. Now, use the virtual joystick: swipe left or right on the screen. Shortcuts bar will become visible.

    Enjoy the game!

    If at any point of the game you use the “back” gesture, virtual keyboard will appear, and shortcuts bar will disappear. At this point, your only option is to use “back” gesture again to hide the keyboard, double tap, save and quit, close the game by dismissing it from recents, and do everything again. Note that when it disappears, it’s not just invisible, it actually isn’t there and you can’t use TAB / BACKTAB even if you know their position. On the other hand, when you launch the game, it is invisible, but you still can press TAB / BACKTAB by guessing their position on the invisible shortcuts bar.
