isActive() asks about whether a local view is an active target, nothing about whether the IME is displayed:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/inputmethod/InputMethodManager.html#isActive() I can't say off-hand why setting a click listener would prevent the IME from being shown, but as a general rule you should not be doing anything from a click on an EditText, since this is dedicated to displaying the IME.
