Hi, i fooled around with the softkeyboard API a little and tested it on a couple of phones. My test setup is an activity with a GLSurfaceView set to fullscreen. When the screen is touched the softkeyboard is brought up via
InputMethodManager manager = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); manager.showSoftInput(view, 0); A standard affair. This works flawlessly on all the phones i've tested, e.g. Moto Droid (2.1.1), HTC Hero (1.5), Samsung Leo (2.1.1), Asus Transformer (3.1), Nexus One (2.3.4). It fails on the HTC Desire HD. The problem manifests itself in that the keyboard is not shown at all. However, when one closes the app one can briefly see the keyboard flicker on screen. The problem is not present in non-fullscreen mode. I assume the HTC Sense keyboard is the issue here. To confirm this i installed one of the free IMEs from the market, and behold, it worked without a problem. Is there a solution to the issue? It seems there's no kind of developer center apart from the download list at http://developer.htc.com. Is there any way to report this to HTC directly? For completeness, here's the source for the test activity. The manifest file is pretty much vanilla, no additional attributes are set for the activity. Thanks a bunch!
