Editor read only help

Question

Hello everyone

  UserActivity = await ActivityApi.GetActivityById(userActivityId);
                Title = UserActivity.Activity?.Topic?.Name;
                CoupleWishResponse = UserActivity?.Answer?.CoupleWishResponse;
                if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(CoupleWishResponse))
                {
                    IsButtonVisible = false;
                    ReadOnly = false;

                }
                else
                {
                    ReadOnly = true;
                    IsButtonVisible = true;
                }

            CornerRadius="20"
            IsClippedToBounds="True"
            VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand">

            <renderers:CustomEditor
                x:Name="MakeWishEditor"
                AutoSize="TextChanges"
                IsReadOnly="{x:Binding ReadOnly}"
                Keyboard="Chat"
                Placeholder="{i18N:Translate EnterYourAnswer}"
                Style="{x:StaticResource EditorEditorRadius}"
                Text="{x:Binding CoupleWishResponse}"

To update the UI at runtime, please make sure the binding property has raised the PropertyChanged event in the model class. For example, make the model class to inherit from the INotifyPropertyChanged interface to raise the PropertyChanged event.

When pressing on the keyboard, the emulator’s keyboard will pop up, which causes it's like being able to enter words to the editor. This may be a potential issue with the emulator. The problem will not occur on the physical device. Please test on a physical device or don't press the keyboard before the editor is focused. When the IsReadOnly is set to False, the Editor cannot be focused on.
