On android, when using predictive input (default), text written to TextInput is not inserted into text property until space, number or punctuation mark would be inserted. If input method hint Qt.imhNoPredictiveText is set, characters are inserted as soon as pressed.

When starting to write new word, this message is also printed to debug output:

W/Qt ( 1056): kernel/qmetaobject.cpp:1458 (static bool QMetaObject::invokeMethod(QObject*, const char*, Qt::ConnectionType, QGenericReturnArgument, QGenericArgument, QGenericArgument, QGenericArgument, QGenericArgument, QGenericArgument, QGenericArgument, QGenericArgument, QGenericArgument, QGenericArgument, QGenericArgument)): QMetaObject::invokeMethod: No such method QQuickTextInput::inputMethodQuery(Qt::InputMethodQuery,QVariant)
