Android: How to make the keypad always visible?

by

Add android:windowSoftInputMode=”stateAlwaysVisible” to your activity in the AndroidManifest.xml file:

<activity android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysVisible" />

In my test app this shows the keyboard on starting of the application although it isn’t fixed there but can be dismissed by pressing the back button.

To make sure the keyboard is always visible you might have to create your own keyboard as part of the UI of your application. Here is a tutorial to show you how to do this with KeyboardView: http://www.fampennings.nl/maarten/android/09keyboard/index.htm
