Android - Keyboard not appearing in floating window

Question

I\'m writing an application that uses the following code to draw an edittext on the screen over running applications:

WindowManager.LayoutParams params = new         


        

Answer 1

My bad.. I realized if I remove the WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE it works fine.. silly mistake

Answer 2

i resolved this issue by using FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE

Answer 3

Programatically:

editText.requestFocus();

Or through XML:

<EditText...>
    <requestFocus />
</EditText>

Answer 4

Use WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL

WindowManager.LayoutParams params = new WindowManager.LayoutParams(
                    WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
                    WindowManager.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
                    WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_PHONE,
                    WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_TOUCH_MODAL,
                    PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
