I have downloaded the device on genymotion that is HTC One - 4.4.4 - API-19. The problem is that the soft keyboard is not appearing at all. I have tried with the ime coding as
edPost.requestFocus();
imm.showSoftInput(edPost, 0);
Then I thought may be I am mistaking somewhere in my code. I have checked the default message app of this device where I can't see the soft keyboard to type the message or destination number. Even anywhere the keyboard may appear I can't see it at all. Please help me with any kind of knowledge about this problem. Thanks in advance.
checkmark use virtual keyboard for text input from genymotion device setting.
see attached image.
Goto Settings --> Language & Input --> Current Keyboard
Here in this dialog Turn On the "Hardware" Toggle button.
Sorry Tejas, it is not the correct answer. I have unchecked the "use virtual keyboard for text input" as you have attached on image and still able to display the soft keyboard by this way. See the below image
Thanks.

I need to open android text keyboard that starts from numpad. I would like to access both numpad and alphabetical characters in same keyboard like android:inputType="text". But, I want to see numpad part first (like in picture) when keyboard opened.
As far as I know, there is no InputType option that obtain this result.
I found this answer that shows how to use privateImeOptions to change soft keyboard settings but couldn't find further information.
Is there any way to achieve this?
Thanks
I've been thrown into trying to fix bugs in an app I didn't write, and I'm not all that familiar with Android. I'm having problems with text boxes not updating with keyboard inputs. Here's whats happening:
In android 10 (only) when I click on a text box, type stuff with the soft keyboard, nothing shows up in the textbox until the soft key board is minimized. But it works 100% fine in Android 5.1, 6, 8.1. (Also, compiling app with SDK for Android 8.1 or 10 makes no difference). The text box is never covered or hidden by the keyboard, it just remains empty until the keyboard is minimized.
The only thing that works is if I make the keyboard floating type, or if I position the textbox way at the top of the layout such that Android does not need to pan or resize the view to accommodate both the box and the default keyboard. A floating keyboard works anywhere, even partially over top of this text box.
I have tried every possible parameter combination I can find in the manifest and layout xml files, including android:windowSoftInputMode , android:fitsSystemWindows , android:isScrollContainer , android:gravity , android:paddingBottomandroid:configChanges
The fact this is -only- an issue for Android 10 is suspicious.
For anyone that finds this in the future: the issue turned out to be that hardware acceleration needed to be turned on. See EditText in Android doesn't show text when typing while using the on-screen keyboard

I have my own virtual key board application..I want to use it whenever there is an edittext field appears in the window..for eg, when i log in to gmail i want to enter my username and password through my virtual keyboard app..Any help would be appreciated..
This is so simple in Android.
Check this out..
EditText editText=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);
editText.setInputType(0);
Thats it. The Android's Virtual keypad will not pop up for this EditText.
About switch current IME to yours:
You have to install your IME app first.
If no, that is maybe another problem.
Settings --> Language and Keyboard --> your IME should be there
and turn on the check box.
As a noob I wrote an app with lots of layout screens and it worked OK in emulation but when I ran it on my Droid Incredible the soft keyboard popping up changed the layout of a LinearLayout I was using - shoving some elements aside and changing the height of others! I fixed it by adding android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan” to the Activity element of the manifest but I really would have preferred to discover this problem in emulation and not on a real phone.
So, is there a popup soft keyboard in the Emulator and if so how do I invoke it?
yes there is, you only need to click on an EditText box with your mouse and it will open.
Yes, of course. You can go to the emulator's edit page, do not choose the "Use handware keyboard".
