Android Question How to show the keyboard for a DSFloatLabelEditText? (IME not working)

[ivan.tellez]

I have 2 DSFloatLabelEditText of the design support library. For filling the first one I have a buton to use a BarcodeScaner with some code like this:

Sub BarcodeOk(Value As String)
    DSFloat1.Text = Value
    DSFloat2.RequestFocus
End Sub

Sub DSFloat2_FocusChanged (HasFocus As Boolean)
    If HasFocus = True Then
        ToastMessageShow("Has the focus", True)
        ime.ShowKeyboard(DSFloat2)
    End If
End Sub

The toast is shown, The DSFloat2 got the focus (prompt is there) but the keyboard does not show until i tap on DSFloat2 view.

I already tried: CallSubDelayed the ime, Sleep before the ime, same both changing the ime call to BarcodeOk.

Maybe is because DSFloatLabelEditText is not a valid View for IME.

Any idea on how to set focus and show the keyboard on a DSFloatLabelEditText?

(Or if has a inner EditText, how to get it to call the ime with it)

Yeap, cant pass the wraper to the IME. Have to Extract the inner View object. Calling this in FocusChanged

Sub ShowKeyboard
    Try
        Dim r As Reflector
        r.Target = TxtClave
        r.Target = r.GetField("mEditText")
        Dim jo As JavaObject = r.GetField("object")

        Dim nativeMe As JavaObject
        nativeMe.InitializeContext
        nativeMe.RunMethod("showSoftKeyboard",Array As Object(jo))
    
    Catch
        Log("No Keyboard")
    End Try
    
End Sub
#If Java

public void showSoftKeyboard(android.view.View view){
    if(view.requestFocus()){
        android.view.inputmethod.InputMethodManager imm = (android.view.inputmethod.InputMethodManager) getSystemService(android.content.Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        imm.showSoftInput(view, 0);
    }
}
#End If
