I am struggling trying to have the soft keyboard appear in a search screen, and from the looks of numerous pleas on various forums, I am not the only one. I have tried many variants, culling from the byzantine attempts of those others.
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService (Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); imm.showSoftInput (query, 0); (for 0, substitute InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED or InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT.) The problem seems to be that showSoftInput doesn't work from onCreate. This is a very common need. Surely there is a reasonable solution to this problem, or is it botched here? P. V. Nasby
