How to show soft-keyboard when edittext is focused

问题:

I want to automatically show the soft-keyboard when an EditText is focused (if the device does not have a physical keyboard) and I have two problems:

1. When my Activity is displayed, my EditText is focused but the keyboard is not displayed, I need to click again on it to show the keyboard (it should be displayed when my Activity is displayed).

2. And when I click done on the keyboard, the keyboard is dissmissed but the EditText stays focused and y don\'t want (because my edit is done).

To resume, my problem is to have something more like on the iPhone: which keep the keyboard sync with my EditText state (focused / not focused) and of course does not present a soft-keyboard if there is a physical one.

回答1:

To force the soft keyboard to appear, you can use

EditText yourEditText= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.yourEditText);
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(yourEditText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);

And for removing the focus on EditText, sadly you need to have a dummy View to grab focus.

I hope this helps

To close it you can use

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(yourEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);

---

This works for using it in a dialog

public void showKeyboard(){
    InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    inputMethodManager.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, 0);
}

public void closeKeyboard(){
    InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    inputMethodManager.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY, 0);
}

I had the same problem. Immediately after editText VISIBILITY change from GONE to VISIBLE, I had to set the focus and display the soft keyboard. I achieved this using the following code:

new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {

    public void run() {
//        ((EditText) findViewById(R.id.et_find)).requestFocus();
//              
        EditText yourEditText= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.et_find);
//        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
//        imm.showSoftInput(yourEditText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);

        yourEditText.dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent.obtain(SystemClock.uptimeMillis(), SystemClock.uptimeMillis(), MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN , 0, 0, 0));
        yourEditText.dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent.obtain(SystemClock.uptimeMillis(), SystemClock.uptimeMillis(), MotionEvent.ACTION_UP , 0, 0, 0));                           
    }
}, 200);

It works for me with 100ms delay, but failed without any delay or with only a delay of 1ms.

Commented part of code shows another approach, which works only on some devices. I tested on OS versions 2.2 (emulator), 2.2.1 (real device) and 1.6 (emulator).

This approach saved me a lot of pain.

回答3:

To cause the keyboard to appear, use

getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_VISIBLE);

This method is more reliable than invoking the InputMethodManager directly.

To close it, use

getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN);

The following code is pillaged from the Google\'s 4.1 source code for SearchView. Seems to work, fine on lesser versions of Android as well.

private Runnable mShowImeRunnable = new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getContext()
                .getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);

        if (imm != null) {
            imm.showSoftInput(editText, 0);
        }
    }
};

private void setImeVisibility(final boolean visible) {
    if (visible) {
        post(mShowImeRunnable);
    } else {
        removeCallbacks(mShowImeRunnable);
        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getContext()
                .getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);

        if (imm != null) {
            imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getWindowToken(), 0);
        }
    }
}

Then in addition, the following code needs to be added as the Control/Activity is created. (In my case it\'s a composite control, rather than an activity).

this.editText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
    public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
        setImeVisibility(hasFocus);
    }
});

回答5:

When nothing else works, force it to be shown:

editText.requestFocus();
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY);

回答6:

android:windowSoftInputMode=\"stateAlwaysVisible\" -> in manifest File.

edittext.requestFocus(); -> in code.

This will open soft keyboard on which edit-text has request focus as activity appears.

回答7:

I have had some recent luck in some simple cases with the code below. I haven\'t finished all testing but....

EditText input = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.Input);
input.requestFocus();    
input.dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent.obtain(SystemClock.uptimeMillis(), SystemClock.uptimeMillis(), MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN , 0, 0, 0));
input.dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent.obtain(SystemClock.uptimeMillis(), SystemClock.uptimeMillis(), MotionEvent.ACTION_UP , 0, 0, 0));

And presto the keyboard shows up.

回答8:

You can try to force the soft keyboard to appear, it works for me:

...
dialog.show();
input.requestFocus();
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, 0);

回答9:

To hide keyboard, use this one:

getActivity().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(
    WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);

and to show keyboard:

getActivity().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(
    WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE);

回答10:

Sometimes raukodraug\'s answer won\'t work. I\'ve make it in this way with some trials and errors:

public static void showKeyboard(Activity activity) {
    if (activity != null) {
        activity.getWindow()
                .setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE);
    }
}

public static void hideKeyboard(Activity activity) {
    if (activity != null) {
        activity.getWindow()
                .setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
    }
}

And the EditText part:

    editText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
            if (!hasFocus) {
                hideKeyboard(getActivity());
            } else {
                showKeyboard(getActivity());
            }
        }
    });

回答11:

showSoftInput was not working for me at all.

I figured I needed to set the input mode: (here in the Activity component in the manifest)

android:windowSoftInputMode=\"stateVisible\" 

回答12:

For fragment, sure its working:

 displayName = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.displayName);
    InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, 0);

回答13:

I combined everything here and for me it works:

public static void showKeyboardWithFocus(View v, Activity a) {
    try {
        v.requestFocus();
        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) a.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        imm.showSoftInput(v, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
        a.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_VISIBLE);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

回答14:

Believe or not my problem with Soft Keyboard was resolved when I discovered that the Activities animations can disable the Soft Keyboard. When you call the intent with the

i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NO_ANIMATION);

and

overridePendingTransition(0, 0);

It can hide the Soft Keyboard and there isn\'t a way to show it.

回答15:

I had the same problem in various different situations, and the solutions i have found work in some but dont work in others so here is a combine solution that works in most situations i have found:

public static void showVirtualKeyboard(Context context, final View view) {
    if (context != null) {
        final InputMethodManager imm =  (InputMethodManager) context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        view.clearFocus();

        if(view.isShown()) {
            imm.showSoftInput(view, 0);
            view.requestFocus();
        } else {
            view.addOnAttachStateChangeListener(new View.OnAttachStateChangeListener() {
                @Override
                public void onViewAttachedToWindow(View v) {
                    view.post(new Runnable() {
                        @Override
                        public void run() {
                            view.requestFocus();
                            imm.showSoftInput(view, 0);
                        }
                    });

                    view.removeOnAttachStateChangeListener(this);
                }

                @Override
                public void onViewDetachedFromWindow(View v) {
                    view.removeOnAttachStateChangeListener(this);
                }
            });
        }
    }
}

code snippet . . .

public void hideKeyboard(Context activityContext){

    InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)
            activityContext.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);

    //android.R.id.content ( http://stackoverflow.com/a/12887919/2077479 )
    View rootView = ((Activity) activityContext)
            .findViewById(android.R.id.content).getRootView();

    imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(rootView.getWindowToken(), 0);
}

public void showKeyboard(Context activityContext, final EditText editText){

    final InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)
            activityContext.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);

    if (!editText.hasFocus()) {
        editText.requestFocus();

        public void run() {
            imm.showSoftInput(editText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED);
        }
    });
}

回答17:

It worked for me. You can try with this also to show the keyboard:

getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE);

回答18:

just add android:windowSoftInputMode=\"stateHidden\" in manifest file...

回答19:

final InputMethodManager keyboard = (InputMethodManager) ctx.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
keyboard.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED,0);

回答20:

editText.post(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        imm.showSoftInput(editText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
    }
});

回答21:

All solutions given above (InputMethodManager interaction in OnFocusChangeListener.onFocusChange listener attached to your EditText works fine if you have single edit in the activity.

In my case I have two edits.

 private EditText tvX, tvY;
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 tvX.setOnFocusChangeListener(this);
    tvY.setOnFocusChangeListener(this);

@Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {       
    InputMethodManager imm =  (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    if(tvX.hasFocus() || tvY.hasFocus()) {            
        imm.showSoftInput(v, 0);            
    } else {
        imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);         
    }       
};

I have observed that onFocusChange is triggered for tvX with hasFocus=true (keyboard shown) but then for tvY with hasFocus=true (keyboard hidden). In the end, no keyboard was visible.

General solution should have correct statement in if \"show keyboard if EditText text has focus\"

回答22:

In your onResume() section of the Activity you can do call the method bringKeyboard();

 onResume() {
     EditText yourEditText= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.yourEditText);
     bringKeyboard(yourEditText);
 }


  protected boolean bringKeyboard(EditText view) {
    if (view == null) {
        return false;
    }
    try {
      // Depending if edittext has some pre-filled values you can decide whether to bring up soft keyboard or not
        String value = view.getText().toString();
        if (value == null) {
            InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
            return true;
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.e(TAG, \"decideFocus. Exception\", e);
    }
    return false;
  }

回答23:

Inside your manifest:

android:windowSoftInputMode=\"stateAlwaysVisible\" - initially launched keyboard. android:windowSoftInputMode=\"stateAlwaysHidden\" - initially hidden keyboard.

I like to use also \"adjustPan\" because when the keyboard launches then the screen auto adjusts.

 <activity
      android:name=\"YourActivity\"
      android:windowSoftInputMode=\"stateAlwaysHidden|adjustPan\"/>

回答24:

I discovered a strange behaviour, since in one of my apps, the soft keyboard was automatically showing on entering the activity (there is an editText.requestFocus() in onCreate).

On digging further, I discovered that this was because there is a ScrollView around the layout. If I remove the ScrollView, the behaviour is as described in the original problem statement: only on clicking the already focused editText does the soft keyboard show up.

If it doesn\'t work for you, try putting in a ScrollView -- it\'s harmless anyway.

回答25:

I had a similar problem using view animations. So I\'ve put an animation listener to make sure I\'d wait for the animation to end before trying to request a keyboard access on the shown edittext.

    bottomUp.setAnimationListener(new Animation.AnimationListener() {
        @Override
        public void onAnimationStart(Animation animation) {
        }

        @Override
        public void onAnimationEnd(Animation animation) {
            if (textToFocus != null) {
                // Position cursor at the end of the text
                textToFocus.setSelection(textToFocus.getText().length());
                // Show keyboard
                InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                imm.showSoftInput(textToFocus, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
            }
        }

        @Override
        public void onAnimationRepeat(Animation animation) {
        }
    });

回答26:

I am agree with raukodraug therefor using in a swithview you must request/clear focus like this :

    final ViewSwitcher viewSwitcher = (ViewSwitcher) findViewById(R.id.viewSwitcher);
    final View btn = viewSwitcher.findViewById(R.id.address_btn);
    final View title = viewSwitcher.findViewById(R.id.address_value);

    title.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            viewSwitcher.showPrevious();
            btn.requestFocus();
            InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            imm.showSoftInput(btn, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
        }
    });

    // EditText affiche le titre evenement click
    btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View view) {
            btn.clearFocus();
            viewSwitcher.showNext();
            InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(btn.getWindowToken(), 0);
            // Enregistre l\'adresse.
            addAddress(view);
        }
    });

Regards.

回答27:

Using Xamarin, this works for me inside a Fragment:

using Android.Views.InputMethods;
using Android.Content;

...

if ( _txtSearch.RequestFocus() ) {
  var inputManager = (InputMethodManager) Activity.GetSystemService( Context.InputMethodService );
  inputManager.ShowSoftInput( _txtSearch, ShowFlags.Implicit );
}

回答28:

I made this help class. Just pass the context and the View you want to focus and show keyboard and after hide keyboard. I hope it Helps.

public class FocusKeyboardHelper {

private View view;
private Context context;
private InputMethodManager imm;

public FocusKeyboardHelper(Context context, View view){
    this.view = view;
    this.context = context;
    imm = (InputMethodManager) context.getSystemService(context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
}

public void focusAndShowKeyboard(){

    view.requestFocus();
    imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY);

}

public void hideKeyBoard(){
    imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
}

}

回答29:

 void requestFocus(View editText, Activity activity)
{
    try {
        editText.requestFocus();
        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) a.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        imm.showSoftInput(editText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
        activity.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_VISIBLE);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();

}

add this line too do not forget

activity.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_VISIBLE);

You can also create a custom extension of the EditText that knows to open the soft keyboard when it receives focus. That\'s what I\'ve ended up doing. Here\'s what worked for me:

public class WellBehavedEditText extends EditText {
    private InputMethodManager inputMethodManager;
    private boolean showKeyboard = false;

    public WellBehavedEditText(Context context) {
        super(context);
        this.initializeWellBehavedEditText(context);
    }

    public WellBehavedEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attributes) {
        super(context, attributes);
        this.initializeWellBehavedEditText(context);
    }

    public WellBehavedEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attributes, int defStyleAttr) {
        super(context, attributes, defStyleAttr);
        this.initializeWellBehavedEditText(context);
    }

    public WellBehavedEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attributes, int defStyleAttr, int defStyleRes) {
        super(context, attributes, defStyleAttr, defStyleRes);
        this.initializeWellBehavedEditText(context);
    }

    private void initializeWellBehavedEditText(Context context) {
        this.inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager)context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);

        final WellBehavedEditText editText = this;
        this.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
            @Override
            public void onGlobalLayout() {
                if(showKeyboard) {
                    showKeyboard = !(inputMethodManager.showSoftInput(editText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED));
                }
            }
        });
    }

    @Override
    protected void onFocusChanged(boolean focused, int direction, Rect previouslyFocusedRect) {
        if(!focused) this.showKeyboard = false;
        super.onFocusChanged(focused, direction, previouslyFocusedRect);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean requestFocus(int direction, Rect previouslyFocusedRect) {
        boolean result = super.requestFocus(direction, previouslyFocusedRect);
        this.showKeyboard = true;
        final WellBehavedEditText self = this;
        this.post(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                showKeyboard = !(inputMethodManager.showSoftInput(self, InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED));
            }
        });
        return result;
    }
}
