I have a simple dialog built with the compatibility libraries DialogFragment. It holds only
1. EditText 2. 2 buttons When the dialog is shown, the edit text control has the focus. At this point, I want to open the soft keyboard automatically. Here is what I am doing within the onCreateView method : EditText et; et = (EditText)v.findViewById(R.id.txtAddress); Activity act = getActivity(); if(act != null) { InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)act.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); if(imm != null) imm.showSoftInput(et, InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED); } Even though I get to the showSoftInput step with no problem, the keyboard is still not displayed. So, how can I correctly get the soft keyboard to be shown ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
