Entry Focus issue in Android with AppCompat and overriding OnFocusChangeRequested

Hi all,

I'm trying to debug an interesting issue with Android. I have an issue in which my Entry objects are giving up focus inconsistently when tapped. This is only happening when the Entry object is embedded in a TableView. The xaml I have is laid out below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
    x:Class="KeyTest.SettingsPage"
    xmlns:keytest="clr-namespace:KeyTest;assembly=KeyTest">
    <ContentPage.Content>
        <TableView Intent="Form" HasUnevenRows="true" x:Name="tableView">
            <TableView.Root>
            <TableSection Title="General" x:Name="tableSection">
                <ViewCell x:Name="viewCell">
                        <keytest:MyNewEntry x:Name="myedit" Placeholder="Some Text"/>
                </ViewCell>
            </TableSection>
            </TableView.Root>
        </TableView>
    </ContentPage.Content>
</ContentPage>

To debug this, I'm trying to create a custom renderer in Android and override the OnFocusRequested (object sender, VisualElement.FocusRequestArgs e) method. Unfortunately, this doesn't compile due to the protection level of FocusRequestArgs.

public MyNewEntryRenderer ()
{
}

public override void ClearFocus ()
{
    Log.Info ("MyNewEntryRenderer", "Clear focus called");
    base.ClearFocus ();
}

protected override void OnFocusChangeRequested (object sender, VisualElement.FocusRequestArgs e)
{
    base.OnFocusChangeRequested (sender, e);
}

This seems like a bug in Xamarin.Forms as I should be able to override any protected method and I cannot as VisualElement.FocusRequestArgs is an internal class.

Note that this focus issue happens only when I've got AppCompat enabled using https://github.com/nativecode-dev/oss-xamarin. I believe I may be able to fix the issue if I can narrow down what view is stealing focus and what views are orphaning keyboards. What's the best way to debug this?

Thanks!
