EditText onClick not shows Virtual Keyboard

Question

If i click on my EditText, the virtual keyboard simple not shows up. The cursor is shown, but no keyboard to type on.

I even tried it with manually open but just no

Answer 1

Try to hide and show the keyboard with this code:

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) this.getSystemService(Service.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
// To show keyboard
imm.showSoftInput(titleEdit, 0);
// To hide keyboard
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(titleEdit.getWindowToken(), 0);  

Answer 2

Late answer but here is how to solve it without adding code, just remove this from your XML:

<requestFocus />

No idea why the keyboard does not show up when this is set... It does show up however if you first loose the focus and then click on the edit text. I had the problem on Android 2.3.6 but it worked on 4.1.2, so maybe it was an early bug.

Answer 3

Try with this, it worked for me.

EditText etHorseName = (EditText) getView().findViewById(R.id.horseName);
etHorseName.clearFocus();

in onCreate() or where you want.

Answer 4

It is just a default behavior , you not suppose to do it manually, remove below part from your code.

titleEdit.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {

        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) CreateNote.this
                .getSystemService(Service.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        imm.showSoftInput(titleEdit, 0);
    }
});
