[android-developers] Re: Why might the soft keyboard not pop up?

2010-11-12 Thread John Gaby
Update:

I am doing a 'requestFocus' after I create the control to
automatically set the focus so the user can start typing without
having to touch the control.  I find that if I remove the
'requestFocus' call, then the keyboard shows up.  Note that I have
other EditText controls where I am doing the same thing (i.e. calling
requestFocus), and the soft keyboard works fine, even with that call
in place.  Does anyone have any ideas why I cannot set the focus on
this particular control and still have the soft keyboard work?

Thanks.

 reasons why the soft keyboard would not appear in some cases.

 Thanks

I found the problem.  Apparently, in only this case, I was calling the
'registerFocus' method before I had made the parent view the active
view.  Switching the order of the calls fixes the problem.

Thanks.
