Ah phew ok at least I'm not the only one seeing that behavior! In my
UI, when the user clicks on the EditText, I want to expand some other
UI elements - something like a list pops up with suggested keywords -
it works, but it has the side effect of blocking the IME keypad from
coming up.
However, if I try running a test to see if a keypad is active for the
EditText that was clicked, like:
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getContext
().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
if (imm.isActive()) {
Log.d(TAG, "yes the keypad is active.");
}
it reports true. So maybe it does somehow display but gets hidden or
something? I don't know.
Thanks
