Hello again,
There is also an approach using the InputMethodManager:
EditText text = FindViewById<EditText>(Resource.Id.MyTextView);
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem((s) =>
{
Thread.Sleep(100);
RunOnUiThread(() =>
{
InputMethodManager imm =
(InputMethodManager)GetSystemService(Context.InputMethodService);
imm.ShowSoftInput(text, ShowFlags.Implicit);
});
});
For some reason you have to wait a while before calling it, otherwise
the keyboard won't show right after creating the Activity, not sure
why this is, this thread:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5105354/how-to-show-soft-keyboard-when-edittext-is-focused
suggest that this is due to animations disabling the soft keyboard.
