Android :: Show Soft Keyboard Automatically When Focus On EditText
Mar 8, 2010
I'm showing an input box using AlertDialog. The EditText inside the dialog itself is automatically focused when I call AlertDialog.show(), but the soft keyboard is not automatically shown. How do I make the soft keyboard automatically show when the dialog is shown? (and there is no physical/hardware keyboard). Similar to how when I press the Search button to invoke the global search, the soft keyboard is automatically shown.

The home screen of my Android application has three EditText views, meant to be used as three different search functions, each with a "Search" button. The app works perfectly on the device (G1) when using the trackball: I can move between the EditTexts with the trackball, all the events fire as expected, I can enter text using the physical keyboard in the selected EditText, Enter correctly submits the proper search, etc.
However, I can't switch between the EditText views using touches - only by using the trackball. Touches seem to be completely ignored by the EditText. Touches do fire for the buttons, but very hard - takes a lot of tries to make a touch register. In the simulator, clicking on any EditText does nothing - the first one always remains selected, and I never get a soft keyboard. This is all inside a TabHost - I've read there are some problems with that configuration, but it sounds like a slightly different issue (the EditText doesn't seem to lose focus - everything works perfectly with the trackball).

I have a form that is working fine with the "Next" flow order when using the computer keyboard with emulator (and probably with the keyboard on the G1) but not with the SoftKeyboard with 1.5.Some fields indicate "Next" with this keyboard, some go to the correct field and others don't.Two of the fields are text and they only give a carriage return instead of "Next."My numeric fields give the proper "Next" key. Use of the SoftKeyboard is a little underdocumented so far (if there is a hidden doc online somewhere please provide me a link to it). There are also some added fields under 1.5 that I have asked about previously but received no answer.These appear to have something to do with the Soft Keyboard.Though these can be set programmatically I haven't seen the proper way to set these flags using XML. This field is the one that replaces "Numeric" which deprecated.

I make ListView that has some items that has one EditText and one ImageButton. When touch the EditText in ListView's Item, Keyboard was appeared but EditText lose focus. What can I do for resolve this problem? I can use ScrollView instead of ListView by addView in ScrollView. And in ScrollView, when I touch the EditText, keyboard was appeared and EditText keep the focus. But I must optimize the list because the list may has many items. In ListView, I can optimize list in getView. But in ScrollVIew, there was not way to optimaize list. So, I must use ListView.

I have some EditViews in the rows of a ListView.This works just fine except when the soft keyboard raises and lowers.When I touch the EditView within the ListView with the soft keyboard down, focus jumps to the EditView, then the keyboard comes up, removes focus from the EditView and sets focus to the ListView, resulting in an odd user experience with the focus no-where visible.Touching the EditViews with the keyboard already showing works as you would expect.The problem seems to be with the soft keyboard lowering and raising and the ListView getting confused about where focus should be placed.

I am rendering an EditText as one element of a list-style AlertDialog (which is backed by the default ListView implementation). I sort of expected that this circumstance would not change the behavior of EditText, but it does: a click on the EditText does not spawn the soft keyboard anymore.
After an hour of messing around with focus settings and click handlers I got fed up and debugged into InputMethodManager.showSoftInput(), and found this:
CODE:....................
The problem here is that mServedView is the ListView that's backing the dialog, while view is the EditText, and ListView.checkInputConnectionProxy() does simply return false in the default implementation of ListView (to be overridden by subclasses).
Worse, I couldn't find a way to set a custom ListView which allows proxying IME reuqests; AlertDialog.Builder.setView() accepts a custom ListView, but this is not the ListView that InputMethodManager sees.

I am developing an application in Eclipse build ID 20090920-1017 using android SDK 2.2 and testing on a Google Nexus One. For the purposes of the tests below I am using the IME "Android keyboard" on a non-rooted phone.I have an EditText widget which exhibits some very strange behavior. I can type text, and then press the "del" key to delete that text; but after I enter a 'space' character, the "del" key will no longer remove characters before that space character.An example speaks a thousand words, so consider the following two incredibly simple applications.Example 1: An EditText in a LinearLayout widget:
package com.example.linear.edit;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.Gallery;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;
public class LinearEdit extends Activity
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(getApplicationContext());
layout.setLayoutParams(new Gallery.LayoutParams(Gallery.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, Gallery.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
EditText edit = new EditText(getApplicationContext());
layout.addView(edit, new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
setContentView(layout);
}Run the above application, enter text "edit example", then press the "del" key several times until the entire sentence is deleted. Everything Works fine.Now consider example 2: An EditText in a Gallery widget:
package com.example.gallery.edit;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.view.ViewGroup.LayoutParams;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.Gallery;
import android.widget.LinearLayout;
public class GalleryEdit extends Activity
{ private final String[] galleryData = {"string1", "string2", "string3"};
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Gallery gallery = new Gallery(getApplicationContext());
gallery.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter(getApplicationContext(), android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, galleryData)
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
{LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(getApplicationContext());
layout.setLayoutParams(new Gallery.LayoutParams(Gallery.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, Gallery.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT));
EditText edit = new EditText(getApplicationContext());
layout.addView(edit, new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT)); return layout; setContentView(gallery);
}Run the above application, enter text "edit example", then press the "del" key several times. If you are getting the same problem as me then you will find that you can't deleted past the 'space' character. All is not well.If anyone could shed some light on this issue I would be most appreciative.

CODE:............
I have this at the top of my application. When the application starts, the EditText is orange highlighted and has a cursor in it; when the EditText is tapped, the soft keyboard pops up. The user uses it to type into the EditText.
However, when they click the Button, my onClick method fires and does everything it's supposed to, however the soft keyboard stays on screen and the EditText is still highlighted with its cursor.
I also have, at the top of the Button onclick: findViewById(R.id.name).clearFocus();
In spite of this, the EditText does not seem to clear its focus. How do I make the button actually act as if it is submitting the form?
Also, I do not transition to a different Activity on the click of the Button. I suppose that is the typical case, and probably the reason why they don't bother hiding the keyboard. However I want to keep the search box and button at the top of the screen, so I just dynamically fill and add views to the screen when the Button is pressed. How can I achieve my desired behavior?

I want to let users input a postal code to my app. The common use case is the US zip code, which are composed solely of numbers, so I'd like to display the numeric keyboard initially in the soft input. However, not all postal codes are solely digits, so I still need users to be able to enter other characters.
I've been trying to do this with android:inputType, but by setting the "number" flag, it automatically blocks any input except for number-based stuff. Is there a way to just accept general text, but get the soft keyboard to initially display a more number-based keyboard?

I currently pop up a custom dialog with an EditText in it. Currently the keyboard will only pop up when the user clicks "into" the EditText.
Is it possible to get the keyboard to pop up for the EditText as soon as the Dialog loads?
I have tried:
editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.EditTextd); editText.setFocusable(true); editText.requestFocus();
But it hasn't worked. Has anyone any ideas?

I have 2 activities, A and B. When A starts, it checks for a condition and if true, it calls startActivityForResult() to start B. B only takes text input so it makes sense for the soft keyboard to automatically pop up when B start. When the activity starts, the EditText already has focus and it ready for input. The problem is that the keyboard never shows up, even with windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysVisible" set in the manifest under the <activity> tag for B. I also tried with the value set to stateVisible. Since it doesn't show up automatically, I have to tap the EditText to make it show.

I have added android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysVisible" to my Activity in AndroidManifest.xml and here's my layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<EditText android:id="@+id/EditText01" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"></EditText>
<EditText android:id="@+id/EditText02" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"></EditText>
<Button android:id="@+id/Button01" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Send"></Button>
</LinearLayout>
When the Activity starts, the EditText is focused, but soft keyboard isn't displayed. If I click on the EditText, then I see the soft keyboard. Do I need to set aditional parameters to display soft keyboard when my Activity starts?

On the soft keyboard in Android you can set the soft keyboard to show the numbers instead of a-z keyboard using android:inputType="numberDecimal". However, what do I do if I only want to show the top number row 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 and not the following rows starting with @ # $ %?

Everyone knows that to hide a keyboard you need to implement:
CODE:............
But the big deal here is how to hide the keyboard when the user touches or selects any other place that is not an EditBox or the softKeyboard?
I tryied to use the onTouchEvent on my parent Activity but that only works if user touches outside any other view and there is no scrollview.
I tryed to implement a touch, click, focus listener without any success.
I even tryed to implement my own scrollview to intercept touch events but i can only get the coordinates of the event and not the view clicked.
Is there a standard way to do this? in iPhone it was really easy.

How can we prevent an edittext from getting focus and displaying the soft keyboard. I have an searchbox which should not be focused by default and should have focus only when user clicks on it to enter something. But right now it takes focus and shows the keyoard as soon as I open the activity. Is this a bug or can this be changed to behave in the way we want?

I have an activity with two edittext controls. I am calling the requestFocus on the second edittext field since by default the focus goes to the first edittext control. The focus appears to be in the second edittext field (the second one gets the highlighted border), but if we try to enter any characters using the hardware keyboard the text appears in the first edittext control.

In my application I have a single EditText together with some TextViews, button and a spinner. My EditText receives focus since it is the only focusable view in this activity, I believe. My EditText shows with an orange border and cursor on the field. Now I would like to remove the focus from this field (I don't want the cursor and border to show). Is there a way to do this? I have been able to focus on the button by doing button.seFocusableInTouchMode() and button.requestFocus(). But this highlights the button and is obviously not what I want.

Every time I put a TextView before an EditText element in a LinearLayout, the EditText does not show. When I don't, it does.
I've narrowed the problem down to the TextView's layout_width attribute. If I give it "wrap_content", it works, but doesn't "block" down, and it appears on the same line as the EditText.

I found that when EditText in placing at the bottom of screen, and the activity's android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan", and the apps run in ldpi(240*320) mode, then when EditText has focus, the content of the activity is panned too far to the above, thus leaving a blank screen between the content of the window and the soft input panel.
You can see the screenshot of this problem at
https://sites.google.com/site/wilderwang/android
Also, the source code to repro this problem can also be get at
https://sites.google.com/site/wilderwang/android
When I test further, if the same apps run in hdpi(480*800), when EditText got focus, the content of the window panned too small thus causing the soft input window cover the EditText view. It seems the distance of the window panned not compute the screen density.
