I had the target field trap returnInField and display its text in a second field.

Did you include the Answer Dialog in the build?

You may want to go back to Plan A with a mobile-native field. With an LC field we have no copy-and-paste, and the text selection behaviors are just so non-mobile that it's likely to frighten and confuse users.

I've had pretty good luck with focus in my Android builds, across a fairly wide range of devices (it's become a running gag in my house every time I come home with another cheap tablet to test on).

What issues were you having with that?
