Hello James, Thanks for the code snippet. I've actually tried this.
What device did you test this on? My biggest problem is that when I find a combination that works on the G1, it doesn't work on the G2 (HTC Hero) or vice-versa. I'm expecting a nightmare when we have 12 devices out there instead of just 2. -DWass On Sep 25, 7:14 am, James W <jpbwebs...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dwass, dont know if this helps, but I finally got it to work reliably > for my particular needs. > > I have a dialog with a single edit, and I wanted to softkeyboard to > automaticallyshowwhen the dialog was opened, and be closed when the > dialog was closed.
