            new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    InputMethodManager imm =
                            (InputMethodManager)
                                    getActivity()
                                            .getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                    if (imm != null) {
                        imm.showSoftInput(mEditTextStudy, SHOW_FORCED);
                    }
                }
            });
