Make EditText not lose focus - android

I have an EditText and an ImageButton (in different ViewGroups) on a single page.
If the EditText is focused, I dont want to unfocus the EditText when I click on the ImageButton.
I tried setting imageButton.setFocusable(false);
It didn't work.
If I long-press on the imageButton the EditText does not lose focus.
EDIT:
I don't want the edittext to lose the focus, not even for some milisecs.
I have a layout that is depending on the "isFocused" property on the EditText.

If you try this?
imageButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
editText.requestFocus();
}
});

Try this code:
editText.requestFocus();
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(editText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);

Android : Soft keyboard is not showing

I am creating a Fragment inside an Activity.I have an EditText in the MainActivity layout and the Fragment layout comes under that EditText.My issue is when I click the EditText the soft keyboard is not showing.
In EditText layout I create
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edt_searchContact"

android:clickable="true"
android:hint="Search..."/>
<requestFocus/>
for showing the soft keyboard the code that I given in the Fragment
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(edt_searchContact, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
In Manifest
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
I have 3 Fragment in one Activity,when one Fragment comes that EditText is going to Visible in main Activity layout.
Can anyone please help me
Thanks in advance :)
Try this in your activity
editText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.txt_yourName);
// Request focus and show soft keyboard automatically
editText.requestFocus();
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_VISIBLE);
On your Activity's onResume() Method you can write this:
EditText et = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.et);
et.requestFocus();
InputMethodManager mngr = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
mngr.showSoftInput(et, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
Try this one :
editText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
editText.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(edt_searchContact, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
}
});
}
});
editText.requestFocus();
The below method worked for me-
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED,0);

How to open a keyboard in Android with EditText?

I have-
EditText &
Button
How can I open a soft keyboard when one selects the edittext view, the user can write anything and it should display in the edittext.
I used the below code but the keyboard doesn't come up-
EditText edit= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.list);
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(edit, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
Any idea how I can open the keyboard and close it again by using back button?
This is my function to open the keyboard :
protected void showKeyBoard(final View v){
v.post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
v.requestFocus();
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(v, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
}
});
}
Make sure
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysVisible" in manifest File.
and
edittext.requestFocus();

force soft keyboard to show when EditText gets focus [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
How to show soft-keyboard when edittext is focused
(48 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I have an EditText that I am passing focus to programmatically. But when I do, I want the keyboard to show up as well (and then go down when that EditText lose focus). Right now, the user has to click on the EditText to get the keyboard to show up -- even thought the EditText already has focus.
<activity android:name=".YourActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible" />
Add this to manifest file...
This is how I show the ketyboard:
EditText yourEditText= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.yourEditText);
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(yourEditText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
set this for your activity in your manifest to pop keyboard automatically when your screen comes containing EditText box
<activity android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysVisible" ... />
To hide keyboard on losing focus set a OnFocusChangeListener for the EditText .
In the onCreate()
EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.textbox);
OnFocusChangeListener ofcListener = new MyFocusChangeListener();
editText.setOnFocusChangeListener(ofcListener);
Add this class
private class MyFocusChangeListener implements OnFocusChangeListener {
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus){
if(v.getId() == R.id.textbox && !hasFocus) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
}
}
To show the keyboard, use the following code.
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(et, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
To hide the keyboard,, use the code below.
et is the reference to the EditText
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getActivity().getSystemService(getActivity().INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(et.getWindowToken(), 0);
In order to do it based on focus listener you should go for:
final InputMethodManager imm =(InputMethodManager)context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
editText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
if(hasFocus){
imm.showSoftInput(et, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
}else{
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(et.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
imm.toggleSoftInput(0, 0);
}
});
Hope this helps.
Regards!

Android: How to open keyboard for editing EditText when click button?

my case is: I have one EditText field that is with disabled focus.
Beside EditText field I has two buttons for Input methods. So I want when click first button: to open soft keybord and edit text in EditText field. I try many ways with:
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(yourEditText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
and doesn't work for me. Only way to open soft keyboard is:
toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, 0)
but there is no way to edit info from EditText field.
May you suggest me how to open keyboard and edit text for some EditText when click button.
Thanks a lot!
Edited:
So, EditText is not focusable be default. When I click Keyboard button - should be focusable, then show me soft keyboard to enter text and appear in EditText. Other method to insert is A-B-C button which not required keyboard. It will be something like Morse code input - touch and hold A-B-C button :) I'll try suggested example to implement in my case. Thank you guys :)
Thanks guys for your help :) I used all suggestions that you gave me, searched and tested a lot of other scripts and finally my code is working :)
Here is my final code:
InputEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.InputText);
public void InputData() {
/* Keyboard Button Action */
KeyboardButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
Log.v(TAG, "On Keyboard Button click event!");
InputEditText.requestFocus();
InputEditText.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(InputEditText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED);
}
});
}
It may be useful for someone :)
Thank you!
The design you've described isn't recommended. You're violating the focusable attribute's purpose which is not to control whether the user can alter the text in a EditText component.
If you plan to provide an alternative input method because the use case seems to require this (e.g. you allow only a certain set of symbols in the editable text field) then you should probably disable text editing altogether for the time the user isn't allowed to change the value of the field.
Declare your editable field:
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edit_text_2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ems="10" />
notice that its focusable attribute is left with the default value. That's ok, we'll handle that later. Declare a button which will start editing process:
<Button
android:id="#+id/button_show_ime"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Start editing" />
Now, in your Activity declare:
private EditText editText2;
private KeyListener originalKeyListener;
private Button buttonShowIme;
And in onCreate() do this:
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.ime_activity);
// Find out our editable field.
editText2 = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.edit_text_2);
// Save its key listener which makes it editable.
originalKeyListener = editText2.getKeyListener();
// Set it to null - this will make the field non-editable
editText2.setKeyListener(null);
// Find the button which will start editing process.
buttonShowIme = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button_show_ime);
// Attach an on-click listener.
buttonShowIme.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// Restore key listener - this will make the field editable again.
editText2.setKeyListener(originalKeyListener);
// Focus the field.
editText2.requestFocus();
// Show soft keyboard for the user to enter the value.
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(editText2, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
}
});
// We also want to disable editing when the user exits the field.
// This will make the button the only non-programmatic way of editing it.
editText2.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
// If it loses focus...
if (!hasFocus) {
// Hide soft keyboard.
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(editText2.getWindowToken(), 0);
// Make it non-editable again.
editText2.setKeyListener(null);
}
}
});
}
I hope the code with all the comments is self-explanatory. Tested on APIs 8 and 17.
Try this :
final EditText myedit2 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.myEditText2);
Button btsmall = (Button) findViewById(R.id.BtSmall);
btsmall.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
myedit2.requestFocus();
}
});
I Have Work this code for open a keybord when button click.
Like .
btn1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn1);
edt1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edt1);
btn1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
edt1.requestFocus();
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(edt1, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
}
});
its completed work.
LinearLayout ll_about_me =(LinearLayout) view.findViewById(R.id.ll_about_me);
ll_about_me.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
mEtEmpAboutYou.requestFocus();
mEtEmpAboutYou.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(mEtEmpAboutYou, InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED);
return true;
}
});
For those that uses fragments you can use InputMethodManager that way:
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
if (imm != null) {
imm.showSoftInput(editText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED);
}
Full Code:
btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
editText.setFocusable(true);
editText.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
editText.requestFocus();
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
if (imm != null) {
imm.showSoftInput(editText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED);
}
}
});
I hope this help
EditText txt_categorie = findViewById(R.id.txt_categorie);
txt_categorie.requestFocus();
