Copy-Paste Context Menu Not Displaying on Long Press for Entry Added to Window at Runtime on Android in .NET MAUI

When long-pressing an Entry on Android, the copy/paste context menu should appear by default. It works when the Entry is placed directly on the page. However, if the Entry is added to the window on a button click, the copy/paste context menu does not display, and the native Entry's ContextMenuCreated event is not triggered.

<VerticalStackLayout> <Button Text="Add entry to window" Clicked="OpenInWindow" HorizontalOptions="Fill" /> </VerticalStackLayout> 

 private void OpenInWindow(object sender, EventArgs e) { Grid grid = new Grid(); grid.BackgroundColor = Colors.LightGray; grid.HeightRequest = 100; grid.Padding = 100; Entry entry = new Entry() { BackgroundColor = Colors.Yellow, Text = "Entry", HeightRequest = 100 }; grid.Children.Add(entry); entry.Loaded += Entry_Loaded; #if ANDROID IWindowManager windowManager = WindowOverlayHelper.GetPlatformWindow()!.WindowManager!; this.GetWindowManagerLayoutParams(); if (windowManager != null && WindowManagerLayoutParams != null) { IMauiContext? context = grid.Handler?.MauiContext ?? WindowOverlayHelper.window?.Handler?.MauiContext; PlatformView childView = grid.ToPlatform(context); windowManager!.AddView(childView, WindowManagerLayoutParams); } #endif } private void Entry_Loaded(object? sender, EventArgs e) { #if ANDROID ((sender as Entry).Handler.PlatformView as AndroidX.AppCompat.Widget.AppCompatEditText).ContextMenuCreated += MainPage_ContextMenuCreated; #endif } #if ANDROID private void MainPage_ContextMenuCreated(object? sender, PlatformView.CreateContextMenuEventArgs e) { System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine("Context menu shown"); } public WindowManagerLayoutParams? WindowManagerLayoutParams; internal WindowManagerLayoutParams GetWindowManagerLayoutParams() { if (this.WindowManagerLayoutParams == null) { this.WindowManagerLayoutParams = new WindowManagerLayoutParams(); var decorViewContent = WindowOverlayHelper.decorViewContent; if (decorViewContent != null) { this.WindowManagerLayoutParams.Width = decorViewContent.Width; this.WindowManagerLayoutParams.Height = decorViewContent.Height; } this.WindowManagerLayoutParams.Format = Format.Translucent; } return this.WindowManagerLayoutParams; } #endif

I checked if the context menu is created by verifying whether the ContextMenuCreated event is triggered using:

((Entry.Handler.PlatformView as AndroidX.AppCompat.Widget.AppCompatEditText).ContextMenuCreated += MainPage_ContextMenuCreated; 

However, the event is not being triggered.

I verified that both the LongClick and Touch events are triggered for the Entry's native view.

Checked with .net maui Entry and Editor issue occurs in both.
