Soft keyboard not popping up when edit text has focus on Genymotion device

In my application there is a search segment -- just like on the twitter app. When the user clicks the magnifying glass the search segment starts (a fragment) and the keyboard is suppose to pop up so the user can type the query into the search bar.
What actually happens is the cursor is blinking in the search bar, and I can type into the bar with the hard keyboard, but the soft keyboard doesn't pop up. If I click the search bar, then the soft keyboard pops up.
Any ideas why the soft keyboard isn't popping up when the cursor is blinking in the search bar?

Apparently the soft keyboard isn't enabled by default on Genymotion.
I've turned on the soft keyboard by going to Settings | Language & Input | Current Keyboard and turning on the Show Input Method switch. But I have had some difficulty with this.
Different API versions have different UIs for this setting and it's never quite clear how to get the soft keys to show. Sometimes I've set the soft keys to show and they still don't show. Maybe you have to set them then restart Android on the device.
But that's where the setting is, and if your experience is anything like mine, you'll get it soft keys to show after you jank around with it for awhile.

You must enable it from the Genymotion application:
Open Genymotion app, it will display the list of your Genymotion devices
On the device you want to use the virtual keyboard click on the setting icon
Then check the option "Use virtual keyboard for text input"
You will then have a virtual keyboard poping up when you click on an edit text.
This will work whatever the Android version of your device is.

Android Soft keyboard doesn't get the focus

I'm working on an android Toshiba TV application. There is a EditBox. When I move cursor there, the soft keyboard is not shown until I press OK. However the focus is never moved to the soft keyboard so that I can't select any letter on it. My same application works on other TV. Any idea? Thanks

android softkeyboard sample code does not change keyboard

I loaded the android Sample code for Softkeyboard onto my Nexus. It shows me the option of picking the Soft KeyBoard Service under settings->language->keyboard. I select the new service and also a language, but when i go to the web browser and focus on the url field I get the same system keyboard popping up, nothing different. Has anyone tried the sample project and got a different looking keyboard? Is there something I'm missing when running the apk?

Have you checked available input methods? Just touch and hold on any text field (<4.0) or open notification bar and choose input method while keyboard is opened.

can one prevent the Android device emulator from popping up the onscreen keyboard?

I am developing an Android application. What I find most annoying during testing is, that the emulator always pops up that on-screen telephone keyboard whenever I click into a text input field. Since I input my data with the keyboard anyway I find that most annoying. Can one switch that on-screen keyboard appearance off? Or can one change that so that it at least presents a mini-qwerty keyboard as my actual device does, not that old-fashioned T9 keyboard?

You can disable the virtual keyboard in Settings->Language.
If you change orientation of the emulator it won't popup (KEYPAD_7, Ctrl-F11).
If you use cursor keys instead of clicking the fields, probably won't popup either.
Whatever you do, keep in mind that in actual devices it usually pops up anyway.
