I want window of my app to be resized when soft keyboard is launched. I thus added following tag to main activity in manifest.xml file
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
however even at time of app lunch keyboard is displayed and window is resized.
I want that at launch atleast keyboard not to be displayed automatically and window to be resized. only when some one is type should the window resizing should occur.
any guidance
just to further add I have editText which gets the control at time of launch. before adding android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" , complete screen use to get displayed and when I touched to type was keyboard displayed. I want the same behavior, that is keyboard should not to be displayed by default but displayed and window resized when someone touches to type
You can set the Activity Attribute by adding this to your Manifest File here
Like so, but haven't tried it.
android:windowSoftInputMode
<activity android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustResize" . . . >
How the main window of the activity interacts with the window containing the on-screen soft keyboard.
You can also refer here
Do below changes to your code
To hide the keyboard on activity launch add below code
public void hideSoftKeyboard() {
if(getCurrentFocus()!=null) {
InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
}
}
To show keyboard when edittext gets focused, use below code
public void showSoftKeyboard(View view) {
InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
view.requestFocus();
inputMethodManager.showSoftInput(view, 0);
}
Call hideSoftKeyboard() in your onCreate method.
Once edittext gets focused use below code.
EditText editText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText);
editText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View view, boolean b) {
//Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Focused",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE); // Resizing window programatically
showSoftKeyboard(view);
}
});

I am using Search Widget to implement search interface in my app in action bar. As soon as the activity starts the keyboard pops up even if I have not interacted with the search widget. So for that I added the attribute in the activity tag in manifest file windowSoftInputMode giving value either stateHidden or stateAlwaysHidden but this did not worked. So I tried to do it programmatically using the hideSoftInputFromWindow method but this also did not worked.
What does this causes to pop up the keyboard even after the attributes are set not to show and how to solve this issue? Please help!
Try to Use this functions to show OR hide the keyboard:
/**
* Hides the soft keyboard
*/
public void hideSoftKeyboard() {
if(getCurrentFocus()!=null) {
InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(),
0);
}
}
/**
* Shows the soft keyboard
*/
public void showSoftKeyboard(View view) {
InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager)
getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
view.requestFocus();
inputMethodManager.showSoftInput(view, 0);
}
Just set focus as false at first time when that screen loaded. By default when screen loaded, the focus goes to first edittext and Keyboard appears.set like this
view.setFocusable(false);
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
and on clickListener of that view make that view as focused. by using
view.requestFocus();
You can try to set the focus on any other view of the activity like this:
view.requestFocus();
I spotted the problem and solved the issue. I was using android.widget.SearchView and changed it to android.support.v7.widget.SearchView, after which I didn't even need to use windowSoftInputMode in the manifest or the hideSoftInputFromWindow() method. Please note!
I have an EditText with three toggle buttons beneath it.
I want to keep the focus on the EditText AND have the keyboard stay visible when I tap on any of the three toggles. i.e. I do not want the keyboard to hide when the focus is outside the EditText (I should not see the keyboard hide then reopen).
I've tried the following to no avail:
toggleButton.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener()
{
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus)
{
editText.requestFocus();
// This doesn't fully work.
// Focus is on editText but keyboard still hides when I
// tap on the toggle button.
}
});
The EditText and ToggleButtons are in a fragment, and the parent activity has this configuration in the AndroidManifest.
<activity
android:name=".activities.MyActivity"
android:label="#string/m_activity"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme.NoActionBar"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustResize" />
What is the best way to fix this issue?
I think you should do that for your yourEditText, using OnFocusChangeListener
yourEditText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener()
{
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus)
{
yourEditText.requestFocus();
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(yourEditText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
}
});
This means that, you will request focus whenever it is changed for you yourEditText and you will also show keyboard.
You can use the LayoutParms.Example is given below
1.Hide the keyboard
this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode
(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
2.Show the Keyboard
this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode
(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE);
If you want to Know the other options. Refer the below link.

I have a Edit Text , and after user click on button or on soft keyboard input , i do some action in background and restart this activity again . At first time the focus is on EditText , but after redirecting the focus is lost .
One more thing , I am using a bluetooth device to enter text in the EditText area .
In the starting of activity , i am getting the editText button and calling
edittext.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
edittext.requestFocus();
also after calling action , i am again requesting focus .
In manifest i am using :
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysVisible"
I have also tried to show keyboard always :
InputMethodManager mgr = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
mgr.showSoftInput(mLastNameET, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
I have tried many things , please suggest how can i make it work ?
There are two ways to do this,
First is to declare EditText.request focus() in on resume(), or second one is declare <request focus /> tag between <EditText> <request focus/> <\EditText>
You can also use this thing:
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(editText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
}
});
}
});
editText.requestFocus();
I had similar problem and it is fixed with adding android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" in Manifest like below.
I hope it work for you too.
<activity
android:name=".MyActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan">
</activity>
I have multiple EditText on my screen and one of them is focussed. The softkeyboard does not trigger as soon as the screen pops up. I want the soft keyboard to trigger as soon as the screen pops up. It works well if I don't implement the onFocusChangeListener(). However I need the onFocusChangeListener() to detect which editText is focused. I have tried setting setFocusable(true) and setFocusableInTouchMode(true). Also i don't want to modify the android:windowSoftInputMode property in AndroidMenifest.xml. I have the following criteria :
onFocusChangeListener implemented (to detect which edittext is focused)
No modifications in AndroidMenifest.xml
Here is my code snippet
final InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
mInput.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View view, boolean hasFocus) {
mIsFocused = hasFocus;
if(hasFocus)
inputMethodManager.showSoftInput(mInput, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
}
});
Any suggestions ?
You can open softkeyboard programmatically
getActivity().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE);
You can try using inputMethodManager.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, 0).

I have 2 editfields in my Custom Dialog which is called from ACtivity, among them 1 is of "trxtPassword" and other of "text" type. Keyboard doesn't appear in "text" type editbox, but just comes on "textPassword" edittext, and then doesn't go only.
I tried the following, but nothing works:
InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager)mContext.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(this.getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);
//inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(txt_username.getWindowToken(), 0);
//inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(txt_password.getWindowToken(), 0);
If I make txt_password.setInputType(0); then others can see the password easily, so that can't be used.
What more can be doen to achieve the goal? I did to trap the onLostFocus on txt
txt_password.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
if (hasFocus == false) {
InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(LoginDialog.this.getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY);
}
}
});
But unfortunately, once entered, if I click anywhere else or any checkbox, then also the focus is not lost from the txt_password field. That is only lost if I click another editText and then the onFocusChange event is fired and throws error and the application shuts down.
Any idea how to accomplish this?
Use that to keep keyboard hidden on activity start
<activity
android:name=".views.DrugstoreEditView"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"></activity>
And there is one usefull answer: How to hide soft keyboard on android after clicking outside EditText?
