Hey i think the market app is using the googleSearch dialog (check out Searcheable activity ).

You can implement the editText in a popupWindow, and set the poupwindow as focusable. Show the keyboard when your popup is shown. in onDismiss hide the keyboard.

popupWindow.setFocusable(true);
popupWindow.setOnDismissListener(new OnDismissListener() {

        @Override
        public void onDismiss() {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(
                        edttxtSearchBar.getWindowToken(), 0);           }

This will ensure, you click anywhere outside popup or press back the popup disappears as well(along with keyboard).
