android softkeyboard showSoftInput vs toggleSoftInput

Question

showSoftInput() doesn\'t show the keyboard for me, but toggleSoftInput() does. I saw some other post that said to disable the hard keyboard when us

Answer 1

Show Keyboard + focus and also if you want to Hide the keyboard

@Override
public void onResume () {
    super.onResume();

    inputSearch.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
    inputSearch.requestFocus();

    // Show Keyboard
    InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSherlockActivity().getSystemService(
            Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    imm.showSoftInput(inputSearch, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
}

P.S inputSearch = (EditText) getSherlockActivity().findViewById(R.id.inputSearch);

    // Hide Keyboard
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSherlockActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(inputSearch.getWindowToken(), 0);
