Android Question Show Keyboard on activity change

[Derek Jee]

HI there

Can someone tell me how to show the keyboard immediately an activity is open. I have set focus to an edit box but want the keyboard to show without having to click it..

Thank you!!

Derek.

Thank you Manfred.

I have looked here already and can get the keyboard to show on a click event but cannot get it to show on activity create. Is there a way for it to show immediately the user open the activity?

Thank you for responding,

Derek.

You should call the showkeyboard of the ime library on activity resume; not in activity create. Nothing is hown in activityCreate. Just declared or layouts loaded. But you´ll get the layout shown after you pass the activityResume.

use ime library

You should call the showkeyboard of the ime library on activity resume; not in activity create.

also we can use callsubdelayed on activity create to show the keyboard

sub ShowKeyboard
IME1.ShowKeyboard
end sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime as boolean)
Callsubdelayed(me,"ShowKeyboard")
end sub

Thank you Manfred.. Rookie mistake. I still couldn't get it to show though..

Kind regards,
