I would like to know if there is any way to determine and set what view is active to the InputMethodManger. I have a scenario where attempting to show the soft keyboard is always returning false. Asking for imm.isActive() returns true so some view is active... but I have not been able to determine which it is.
The scenario I have is an AlertDialog containing a single EditText view. In my main activity, I click a button that launches the Dialog. I have an onFocusChangeListenter set on the EditText which checks when it receives focus and based on log messages it is receiving focus successfully when the dialog is displayed. However, I am running several checks inside if(hasFocus) and the all return false. Here are some of the tests I'm running during onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus). imm is the InputMethodManager called with the usual convention of (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE). ((EditText)v).isInputMethodTarget() returns false imm.isActive(v) returns false imm.isActive() returns true, so some view is active for input... imm.showSoftInput(v, 0) does not show the view and returns false. imm.showSoftInput(mAlertDialog.getListView(), 0) also returns false, thinking possibly the ListView for the dialog was the view which was active, though it is not. I'm hoping someone might be able to steer me in the right direction. I HAVE been able to show the keyboard by getting the Window, then IBinder WindowToken and passing that to setSoftInputMode, but then it behaves erratically afterward.
