How can I set the focus (and display the keyboard) on my EditText programmatically
Try this:
EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.myTextViewId);editText.requestFocus();InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);imm.showSoftInput(editText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#requestFocus()
use:
editText.requestFocus();InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY);
This worked for me, Thanks to ungalcrys
Show keyboard:
editText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.myTextViewId);editText.requestFocus();InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(this.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED,InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY);Hide keyboard:
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(this.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(editText.getWindowToken(), 0);
