Make Keyboard popup automatically on entry - xamarin.forms

Question

I am using a grid in Xamain forms and I want on the selection event to call the keyboard I thought doing this word wok.
I am using the plugin dialogue kit to display a numeric entry but my quesiton is the keyboard is only displaying on the text box when it has focus how Do I force the keyboard to come up so the user does not have to click into the field.
new Entry()
{
Keyboard = Keyboard.Numeric
};
var resultQty = await Plugin.DialogKit.CrossDiaglogKit.Current.GetInputTextAsync("Test", $"Please goto Bin {item.BinName} , and enter the visible stock of the item." + item.Name, null, Keyboard.Numeric);
The code from Dialog kit shows that it attempts to place a focus on the entry field.
<ContentView.Content>
<StackLayout Padding="10" BackgroundColor="White" VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand" Margin="25">
<Label FontAttributes="Bold" FontSize="Large" Text="{Binding Title}"/>
<Label FontSize="Large" Text="{Binding Message}"/>
<Entry x:Name="txtInput" Keyboard="{Binding Keyboard}"/>
<StackLayout Margin="10" Orientation="Horizontal">
<Button Text="{Binding OK}" Clicked="Confirm_Clicked" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"/>
<Button Text="{Binding Cancel}" Clicked="Cancel_Clicked" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"/>
</StackLayout>
</StackLayout>
</ContentView.Content>
You will see here that the dialog kit calls the above few as such
public Task<string> GetInputTextAsync(string title, string message,string currentText = null, Keyboard keyboard = null)
{
if (keyboard == null) keyboard = Keyboard.Default;
var cts = new TaskCompletionSource<string>();
var _dialogView = new Plugin.DialogKit.Views.InputView(title, message,currentText,keyboard);
_dialogView.FocusEntry();
_dialogView.Picked += (s, o) => { cts.SetResult(o); PopupNavigation.PopAsync(); };
PopupNavigation.PushAsync(new PopupPage { Content = _dialogView });
return cts.Task;
}
Which as you can see is calling the but i think the placement of this is wrong as its before its pops onto the view.
public void FocusEntry()
{
txtInput.Focus();
}

I did some test and found you should Call the FocusEntry after PopUp to force the keyboard to come up automatically.
private async void Button_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var resultQty = await GetInputTextAsync("Test", $"Please goto Bin, the visible stock of the item.", null, Keyboard.Numeric);
}
public async Task<string> GetInputTextAsync(string title, string message, string currentText = null, Keyboard keyboard = null)
{
if (keyboard == null) keyboard = Keyboard.Default;
var cts = new TaskCompletionSource<string>();
var _dialogView = new Plugin.DialogKit.Views.InputView(title, message, currentText, keyboard);
_dialogView.Picked += (s, o) => { cts.SetResult(o); PopupNavigation.PopAsync(); };
await PopupNavigation.PushAsync(new PopupPage { Content = _dialogView });
//Call the FocusEntry after PopUp
_dialogView.FocusEntry();
return await cts.Task;
}
