General :: Android 4.1.1 - Onscreen Keyboard Not Activate When Type / Search Field Tapped
Jul 1, 2013
I am an IT Tech trying to work out a problem with a customers Android Tablet. The brand is something I've never heard of called a 'Gemini'.
Anyway, the onscreen keyboard doesn't activate when a type/search field has been tapped on the screen.
The OS is Android 4.1.1
He's other tablet which is the same works, but the screen is cracked so he bought another one of these hideous unresponsive pieces of crap.

When I want to enter text in the browser to search, the onscreen keyboard won't come up. All I get is the "listening" icon coming up to allow me to tell it what I want to search for. How can I enable the onscreen keyboard to come back????

In one of my custom views, I have an EditText. When the onscreen keyboard appears, it takes up too much space for my custom view. I would like to turn off visibility of a few of my components whenever the onscreen keyboard is present. Then turn them back on when it goes away. Anyway I can add a listener of some kind to detect the opening/ closing of the onscreen keyboard?

I have downloaded SDK 1.5 and now when I enter a edittext field, this annoying onscreen keyboard pops up. Is there a way to disable it in the emulator? It's very annoying and slows my development down.

I'd like to invoke the Android onscreen keyboard to just retrieve a single character. Is there a way to do this?I am working on a hangman application and need to take input one character at a time. The plan is to have a text area for each guessed letter, and display the soft keyboard when the user selects a text area for which to guess.

I need to hide all keys except numbers, point and dash and change the dash behavior.
Unfortunately attribute android:inputType="number|numberSigned| numberDecimal" doesn't hide @, #, $ etc. keys.
How can I customize the soft keyboard view? I actually need to show and react to my custom view. What is is the fast and right way to implement it?
Please advise some example or code snippets helps to move forward.

Is this possible? Lets say I have an ACTV that shows you a list of contacts. If I place a T in the ACTV then it may generate a result of 10 contacts. In landscape mode (physical keyboard not open but phone turned sideways), the dropdown list gets covered by the onscreen keyboard. This will generate completion hints at the top of the keyboard. But these hints do not cover all of the data behind the ACTV. There is no way for the user to scroll through the entire list to see all of the data.
There should be someway to force the ACTV to scroll as I move through the onscreen completion hints. This would be an acceptable replacement of the ACTV list. There does not seem to be any such association.
Also, there does not seem to be any public association between the completion hints and your ACTV adapter. Currently, the only way that I know of matching a view(custom and holds data such as phone #, etc) referenced by my ACTV adapter is to do a match on the text placed in the ACTV when selected from the completion hint. I am posting here as the http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_frm/thread/5... thread appears to be dead.

When implementing search in my application, I'm including some search context info depending on the activity where search is invoked. In one of those, I'd like to implement type-to-search as well, but the standard method of adding search context info doesn't work in that case... the onSearchRequested() method in the activity is never called. Is there any way to include search context info in a type-to-search invocation, or am I stuck with only the Search key and menu option?

When using a BB and starting an email, in the name field I could type "Jo Ba" and the search results would return Joe Barnes and John Baker and I could choose from either. I do the same on the Incredible and get nothing. Additionally, if I wanted to get the name of someone at a specific company I could go to the contacts and type "Goog" and all the contacts that had Google in them would show on the screen. Am I missing something, is there a better way or is there an app that handles people searches a bit better?

On android i have big listview which has to support filtering. For now my implementation is the following. EditText and TextWatcher to listen for text changes. All data is stored in db and when there is event for TextChange fetch a cursor and set new CursorAdapter to the listview. I use AsyncTask to query the db and to update the gui.

I am developing an Android application. What I find most annoying during testing is, that the emulator always pops up that on-screen telephone keyboard whenever I click into a text input field. Since I input my data with the keyboard anyway I find that most annoying. Can one switch that on-screen keyboard appearance off? Or can one change that so that it at least presents a mini-qwerty keyboard as my actual device does, not that old-fashioned T9 keyboard?

This may have already been discovered but this weekend while holding my Droid I stumbled upon a cool (maybe useless) feature. If you have the "Google Search" shortcut on your home screen like I do, all you have to do is lightly shake the Droid to activate the search feature. You have to be on the same home screen as the Google Search shortcut. The weird thing is I cannot reproduce my findings 100% of the time. For instance, this morning it worked 7 out of 10 times.

For some reason saying Ok Google doesn't activate search except once and awhile, I dunno if I gotta be in search app or any screen. Doesn't tend to work in either.

I have found descriptions of 3 different default keyboards on my HT-03A but can only find the phone one i.e. ABC = 1. Do I need to download an app? Under the applications "Android Keyboard" is listed but I can't seem to activate it and presuming it is what I want, make it the default.

In the built-in Contacts app, if it's the view of contact list, when you type a keyborad, it will trigger a type-to-search. However, insteading of using the quick search box, it shows a floating and transparent dialog. How to implement this functionality?

I have tried yellow pages search app and yp.com app and both apparently need gps or location because when I search it put me in Germany and doesn't find what I need, when I go to find myself ie: location, it finds me in the last location I was or in Germany or London or omthing and again doesn't work. It is a well known fact the samsung rumor has gps issues (for now anyways) until a hopeful update fixes it. Yes I have tried the wifi trick and some other things and still no luck....its a crap shoot, you may or may not find yourself.
So until such time as the patch/update is out is there a recommended app that works like Yellow Pages Local Directory - YELLOWPAGES.COM does with no location needed, you just use a zip code or city and state.

I want to open soft keyboard while starting an activity. The activity contains nothing as its element. I just need to open soft keyboard on the launch. I've tried with
<activity android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysVisible|stateVisible|adjustResize" but it didn't work.
Also tried with
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE);
but it didn't work as well i'm using emulator to run the code

In the built-in Contacts app, when you press a key to input a character in the contact list view, it will show a transparent and floating dialog about what you input. It will also filter the underlying contacts using the keyword you input. This is quite different with using quick search box. How to implement this?

today, a mayor update for touchpad has been released (v4 -> v5). i like the new look, but the keyboard has lost a key function: it was possible in v4 to hold on a letter and drag it down to write the secondary function.e.g.: hold "h" and drag it down -> "&".it was also possible to edit the secondary functions. v5 doesn't allow me to do this.

I have a simple EditText field in one of my Activities. If I set the field to disabled, it greys out and I cannot enter text with the hardware keyboard, however when I touch the field the virtual keyboard appears and that still lets me enter text. Is this a bug? Any workarounds for making sure this can't happen?
