I am trying to force the soft keyboard to open when a text entry is on focus, and when the Android device already has a hard keyboard?
According to this website, the following approach won't work (I also tried it out).
<activity
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible" ... >
...
</activity>
I have also tried using InputMethodManager.ShowSoftInput() with no success. I found this approach here.
Can anyone help further? Maybe the flags of ShowSoftInput need some particular values? Thanks a lot
