you need to call requestFocus(); to show keyboard otherwise keyboard does not pop up.

        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View paramView, MotionEvent paramMotionEvent) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            autocomptv.showDropDown();
            autocomptv.requestFocus();
            return false;
        }
