Answer 1

I had a similar problem on Galaxy S3 (displaying EditText controls on a PopupWindow - the keyboard was never showing). This solved my issue:

final PopupWindow popUp = new PopupWindow(vbl.getMainLayout());
[....]
popUp.setFocusable(true);
popUp.update();

Possible scenarios:

1) On clicking the EditText, usually the keyboard comes up. But if you press the back key button in the emulator the keyboard (not the screen keyboard) dimisses.

2) In code you can disable the keyboard on clicking the EditText by setting a flag.

InputMethodManager inputmethodmgr= (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); 
inputmethodmgr.hideSoftInputFromWindow(myEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);
