Automatically show custom keyboard for EditText. Android - android

I want to make the custom keyboard in my android application and show it for specific EditText.
I've read documentation and found, that I need to extend the InputMethodService class. But I didn't find out how to show this keyboard automatically for some EditText.
Thanks

There is a example present in Android SDK
Load that Android Project
New --> Android Sample Project --> Soft Keyboard
To show your keyboard for particular edit text box you need to override OnTouchlistener

I found the solution I wanted here: http://www.infiniterecursion.us/2011/02/android-activity-custom-keyboard.html

Xamarin.Forms drop down

I am using a picker in Xamarin forms and it looks like a entry box on the page until you tap it and it choices popup. I want to visually tell the user that this is drop down which they can select from. Can I do it using styling? So body suggested using Effects. How do I achieve this?
https://developer.xamarin.com/api/type/Xamarin.Forms.Picker/
This shows what the picker will render as across platforms. As you can see it does not give you an indication of a dropdown. From what I understand you would have to implement a custom renderer for each platform to add any kind of drop down arrow.
Unfortunately xamarin forms picker has simple features. I think try Custom renderer because if you want custom style or effect then use custom renderer and check below link.

Android change look of custom keyboard

I have successfully made a very basic custom keyboard for Android based off of this tutorial. The problem is, this keyboard looks very odd and outdated for Android lollipop:
Image of the current keyboard:
I have been looking at other keyboards such as the default OS keyboard and this one:
And they look much better for Android.
How can I modify the color scheme and style of my keyboard to look better?
It is also worth noting I am making a keyboard that is very similar to the second example (it will just have a few extra buttons).
If you want a lot of control and be able to do things dynamically, I suggest you ditch the xml layout and KeyboardView class and make your own custom keyboard view
