Question

When i click on the edittextview then some times keyboard shown or some times keyboard are not shown.

In android 2.1 it show the keyboard when i click on the edittex

Answer 1

I had this same problem when displaying an EditText in a DialogFragment. Despite the EditText getting focus (i.e., when clicked, it showed the flashing caret), the keyboard did not display.

My solution was to add a dummy EditText to the uppermost view of my DialogFragment.
