Keyboard not shown when i click on edittextview in android?

by

OK, This might be a late response, but it worked.

I have met this problem on android 2.1 and 2.3.x(not tested on other versions of SDKs).

I noticed a strange thing that when my click on the EditText was unable to open the keyboard, I pressed the BACK button to show an alert dialog and then I canceled(closed) it, and clicked the EditText again, now the keyboard was brought to life again.

From that I can conclude that the keyboard will always show for the EditText if the EditText does not previously own focus(showing an alert dialog over the EditText view will make the EditText to lose focus).

so call the function below on your EditText when it is brought to front:

mEditText.clearFocus();

or

parentViewThatContainsEditTextView.clearFocus();
