when using AlertDialog.Builder with EditText, the Soft Keyboard doesn't pop

when using AlertDialog.Builder with EditText, the Soft Keyboard doesn't pop

I am using AlertDialog.Builder in order to create an input box, with EditText as the input method.

Unfortunately, the Soft Keyboard doesn't pop, although the EditText is in focus, unless you explicitly touch it again.

Is there a way to force it to pop?

I've tried the following, after the (AlertDialog.Builder).show(); but for no avail.

InputMethodManager mgr = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);  mgr.showSoftInput(input, InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED);  

Anyone can help?

Thanks!!

This was answered here already. Using an OnFocusChangeListener worked for me.

When you call showDialog to show a Dialogue created using AlertDialog in onCreateDialog

You should put the code here

    @Override  protected void onPrepareDialog (int id, Dialog dialog, Bundle args)  {      TextView editText=(TextView) dialog.findViewById(R....);        editText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {         @Override         public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {           if (hasFocus) {              dialog.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE);           }         }      });    }

I've made such a thing

AlertDialog.Builder b = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);//....  AlertDialog dialog = b.create();    dialog.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_VISIBLE);    dialog.show();

A much better solution is given here.

dialog.getWindow().clearFlags(           WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE          |WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_ALT_FOCUSABLE_IM);  

No workaround. EditText behaves as expected.

I've managed to solve it like this:

Dialog = builder.create();  Dialog.show();  Dialog.getWindow().clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE  | WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_ALT_FOCUSABLE_IM);  Dialog.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_VISIBLE);

I found out that the same code works properly on Tablet, the keyboard does pop up, but on Phone it doesn't, so researching further, seems to point to the "adjust" option.

I am using this, feels much cleaner.

AlertDialog d = builder.create();  d.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(      WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE);  d.show();

Try this, its working for me

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);                      imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(input.getWindowToken(), 0);  

And if you want to hide soft keyboard you can do this:

  InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);              imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(input.getWindowToken(), 0);

Window window = dialog.getWindow();      window.clearFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_NOT_FOCUSABLE | WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_ALT_FOCUSABLE_IM);      window.setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE);
