Still happens after uninstall and reinstall on Android.

I even tried clearing the data and cache before uninstalling the app and the keyboard pops up with something I searched like 6 months ago.

Uninstall and reinstall didn’t work for me either. Just had this happened to me and I cleared it by turning the haptic feedback off in settings. I turned it back on after I saw the green dot disappeared. Hope this works for you.  (Posting here in case I forget in the future)

If anyone comes across this post trying to figure this out I will put what worked for me and hopefully it works for you.

Step 1: Go to roku settings -> system -> software update.

Step 2: If there is an update it will restart, if you are up to date, then choose system restart in this same menu and manually restart the roku.

Step 3: clear cache and clear data for the roku app in your phone settings. If you don't know how to do this just Google "how to clear app cache data on *your phone model*"

Step 4: uninstall and reinstall the roku app on your phone.

Step 5: reconnect your phone to your roku and see if your problem is solved.

This process worked for me, hopefully it works for you and you can now use the roku app without the stupid keyboard popping up every time.
