Resolution Note (2022.1.X):
Gamepad interaction with On Screen Keyboard depends on what default on screen keyboard is set in Android Settings.
Gamepad interaction with On Screen Keyboard works fine on Android TVs - like NVIDIA Shield or Amlogic NEXBOX, or any other Android TV which have system on screen keyboard installed compatible with gamepads. Those keyboards will have focusable keys which help navigate in on screen keyboard with gamepad.
Phones, like Google Pixel, etc, have system on screen keyboards which are designed for touches, thus they don't display focusable keys. It should be possible to install a different On Screen Keyboard via Google Play Store which can be compatible with gamepad.
Alternatively, app itself can use a customizable On Screen Keyboard, but Unity doesn't expose such functionality, meaning today you cannot provide a user defined On Screen Keyboard.
