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

public void hideKeyboard() {
    myTextView.setFocusable(true);
    myTextView.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
    imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(myTextView.getWindowToken(), 0);
}

WORKS

public void hideKeyboard() {
    imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(myTextView.getWindowToken(), 0);
}

DOES NOT WORK

imm is dealt with earlier as I am using a Fragment so:

Declare imm in the Fragment

private InputMethodManager imm;

Then in the fragment add:

@Override
    public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
    imm = (InputMethodManager)
    getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
}

He says after 3 to 4 hours of research and failures !!

Thanks user_CC ! :-)
