Thanks Dianne, I've had a quick look through the code and have seen how the onTouchEvent in the TextView Class has been modified to display the soft keyboard if it is both focused and touched (how profound). I've managed to get it to display by clicking a button, but really I'd like it called in OnCreate I think it has something to do with the focusing, not sure but I'll look into it.
