</RelativeLayout>
In the above markup
<requestFocus />
does not work. The text view is not focused when the activity is started. Is this because of the progress bar which overlays the text view? Any ideas how to fix this?
How to&Answers:
I usually use the following to set the focus: Add following attributs to your xml-layout
<AutoCompleteTextView
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true">
</AutoCompleteTextView>
and set focus programmatically like
((AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.autocomplete_zone)).requestFocus();
f.e. in onResume or onWindowChanged
public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus) {
super.onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus);
if (hasFocus) {
((AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.autocomplete_zone)).requestFocus();
}
}
Answer：
Solved it! In manifest I added following to the activity:
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysVisible"
Answer：
None of the above worked for me… this is what I used
txtView.getParent().requestChildFocus(txtView,txtView);
Answer：
You can try this in the code if you want to forcefully show the keyboard.
((InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE)).toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY);
then you can to use this code to close the keyboard:
((InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE)).hideSoftInputFromWindow(autocomplete_zone.getWindowToken(), 0);
Answer：
To do this in code, in your Activity:
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_VISIBLE);
