Hide to show and hide keyboard in DialogFragment

Question

In my dialog fragment, I am able to show the keyboard using

getDialog().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT STATE_VISIBLE);
         


        

Answer 1

The solution turned out to a combination of the following. To show the keyboard in a DialogFragment:

    @Override
    public void onResume()
    {
        super.onResume();
        editText.post(new Runnable()
        {
            @Override
            public void run()
            {
                editText.requestFocus();
                InputMethodManager imm =
                    (InputMethodManager)editText.getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                if (imm != null)
                    imm.showSoftInput(editText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
            }
        });
    }

To hide it, use the solution above by @Shekhar

    @Override
    public void onDismiss(DialogInterface dialog)
    {
        InputMethodManager imm =
            (InputMethodManager)editText.getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        if (imm.isActive())
            imm.toggleSoftInput(0, InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);

        super.onDismiss(dialog);
    }
