popup virtual keyboard

[Cor]

I now use the following code to show a hint and give it focus ( works great

But how to popup the virual keyboard at the same
so users can direct entering data without first pressing the edit box

dim edtZoek as edittext

edtZoek.Text=""
 edtZoek.hint="Naam Gemeente"
 edtZoek.RequestFocus
 edtZoek.ForceDoneButton=True

There is currently no way to display the virtual keyboard programmatically. It will be added.

Any chance this was done in the new v1.2?

 

[Erel]

No. There was a change in v1.2 related to the keyboard which prevents it to show automatically when you open an activity with EditText.

Keyboard won't popup on EditText

Hello,

I have few EditText on a view but from some reason the keyboard only popups for one time.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
Elad.

Make sure that InputType is not set to NONE.

Thank you for your reply.

I am using INPUT_TYPE_NUMBERS and this is the code I am using:

Dim txtQuantity As EditText
txtQuantity.Initialize("Quantity")
txtQuantity.Text = "0"
txtQuantity.Gravity = Gravity.CENTER
txtQuantity.TextSize = 16
txtQuantity.InputType = txtQuantity.INPUT_TYPE_NUMBERS

lstAttachedItems.Panel.AddView(txtQuantity, 10, 10, 100, 60)

Thank you,
Elad.

I have no idea why it happens. If you like you can upload your project (or part of it) and I'll check it.

Solution!!!

I found the problem... it happened because of the FocusChanged event...

When I took it off everything went back to normal.
