Question

Android: show soft keyboard automatically when focus is on an EditText

I\'ve read this post that automatically shows the virtual keyboard when a dialog box is shown.

Answer 1

What you can do is try using postDelayed(Runnable) for EditText as below,

                ettext.requestFocus();
                ettext.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        InputMethodManager keyboard = (InputMethodManager)
                        getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                        keyboard.showSoftInput(ettext, 0);
                    }
                },200);

Answer 2

Just try adding the below line before "et.setOnFocusChangeListener"

((InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE))
                    .showSoftInput(et, 2);
