Hi Lisa,
My experience is that the system thinks the Bluetooth connection to the mouse is actually Bluetooth to a keyboard, SO it will not pop up the on-screen keyboard. We have run in to this
on other operating systems as well. I have found that depending on the app, sometimes the resident keyboard remains on the screen and can be used.
This also happens when you use a Bluetooth amplifier…it also is confused for a Bluetooth keyboard.
Interested to hear if others have a solution.

Subject: mouse with android tablet [EXTERNAL]
Hi folks,
I was demonstrating a Samsung Galaxy tablet to a pALS who is very good with a wireless mouse. The problem we had is that when she would click on any screen that required a keyboard, no keyboard would come up.
If she touched the tablet with her hand, the keyboard would appear, but not if she clicked with the mouse. Is there some setting I am missing that enables this to happen? She was GREAT with Speech Assistant for communication, but not without a keyboard.
thanks,
Lisa
