Answer 1

for me by adding this line android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible" in your manifest like this

**<activity
            android:name=".mmmmm.zzzzzzz.yyyyyy.xxxxxx"
            android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible"
            android:label="@string/title_activity_print_recharge"></activity>**

this is how I solved it

Answer 2

This is what worked for me -

Create your own EditText class and override following method -

public class FocussableEditText extends EditText {

    public FocussableEditText(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public FocussableEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public FocussableEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    }

    @Override
    public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasWindowFocus) {
        super.onWindowFocusChanged(hasWindowFocus);
        if (hasWindowFocus) {
            InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            imm.showSoftInput(this, InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED);
        }
    }
}

Try this

@Override
public void onResume() {
   super.onResume();
   final View v = getDialog().findViewById(R.id.edit_text_id);
   v.post(new Runnable() {
      @Override
      public void run() {
        v.requestFocus();
        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        if (imm != null) imm.showSoftInput(v, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
      }
   });
 }
