Answer 1

I know this has already been answered, but I found a way to do the accepted answer in onCreateDialog instead of just in onCreateView. When you finish with the builder, before you return do the following:

AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());  
// blah blah blah do builder stuff here like setTitle, setView, etc

Dialog d = builder.create();

Here's the important part:

d.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_VISIBLE);
return d;
