FTUE: Make entering a custom Homeserver address faster by focusing the input

Type of change

• Feature
• Bugfix
• Technical
• Other : small enhancement, fixes FTUE: Make entering a custom Homeserver address faster #6926

Content

When the server selection fragment is shown and after the previously entered or default server address is set, the input for the server gets selected and requests focus. At the same time the keyboard is shown so you can immediately type away when the fragment is shown. That should remove the need for two additional clicks, one to focus the input field and one to clear it.

Thanks for the PR!
One small remark to avoid code duplication.

You could use this extension: https://github.com/vector-im/element-android/blob/main/vector/src/main/java/im/vector/app/core/extensions/View.kt#L28

Oh perfect thank you for that hint! Wasn't aware of it being available already but I will update the PR as soon as I can get back at my AS (tomorrow probably).

great catch! 💯 making use of the extension will also fix the code quality check

So I updated the PR (force-push to have a cleaner history) and all the checks ran. There only seems to be an issue with sonarqube, but if I read the log correctly that should not be caused by my two lines of code.
