[android-developers] Re: Alert input must show the keyboard.

'm showing an input box using AlertDialog. The EditText inside the
dialog itself is automatically focused when I call AlertDialog.show(),
but the soft keyboard is not automatically shown.

How do I make the soft keyboard automatically show when the dialog is
shown? (and there is no physical/hardware keyboard). Similar to how
when I press the Search button to invoke the global search, the soft
keyboard is automatically shown.

[android-developers] Re: Alert input must show the keyboard.

[sblantipodi]

thanks for the answer, this:

input.setSelected(false);
alertI.show();
input.setSelected(false);

doesn't remove the focus from the edittext.
how to remove it?

just tried
input.clearFocus();
alertI.show();
input.clearFocus();

same result, edittext is focused.

[android-developers] Re: Alert input must show the keyboard.

[sblantipodi]

Just solved, I post the solution, just for reference.

myAlertDialog.show();
showVirturalKeyboard();

this is the showVirtualKeyboard() method:

// Mostra la tastiera virtuale
private void showVirturalKeyboard() {
Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.schedule(new TimerTask() {

@Override
public void run() {
InputMethodManager m = (InputMethodManager)
MCPRO.this.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);

if (m != null) {
// m.toggleSoftInput(0,
InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);
m.toggleSoftInput(0,
InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
}
}
}, 100);
}

[android-developers] Re: Alert input must show the keyboard.

[sblantipodi]

this solution is good for all platforms minor of android 3.

With android 3 the toogleSoftInput close the keyboard since android 3
open the softkeyboard by default.

Is there a way to openKeyboard without toogle it?

Create an Activity themed like a dialog instead of an AlertDialog? I'm just
going to keep throwing suggestions at you until something works =P
