I was combining some answers and found the following solution:

fun Fragment.focusEditText(editText: EditText) {
Timer("Timer", false).schedule(50) {
    requireActivity().runOnUiThread(java.lang.Runnable {
        editText.isFocusableInTouchMode = true
        editText.requestFocus()
        val manager =
            requireContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager
        manager.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, 0)
    })
}

The timer delay makes sure that the focus request is working and the keyboard is opened manually because it did not work implicitely for me.
