I'm able to replicate a unusual issue with EditText. But it doesn't happen on all devices.
Let's say you have the following layout: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"> <!-- ScrollView, GridView, etc also causes this. --> <ListView android:id="@+id/listView1" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentTop="true"></ListView> <EditText android:id="@+id/editText1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:text="EditText"></EditText> </RelativeLayout> When your activity is created and displayed the first time, softKeyboard will be shown even if user doesn't select the EditText field. I haven't reported this issue on Android trouble ticket system, since I think this is an issue on manufacturer implementation (may be) Devices we have: Sonyericsson Xperia x10 (with Cyanogen 6) - Issue doesn't appear. Motorola Milestone - Issue doesn't appear. HTC Desire - Issue happens on it. LG GX2 (T-Mobile) - Issue happens on it. The recipe to replicate this seems to be, having a "ViewGroup" above any EditText, will cause in certain devices, soft keyboard to appear, when entering on an Activity. I just would like to know if other ppl is able to replicate it, on which devices, and if possible, what's the workaround. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
