InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, 0);
Using this code also soft keyboard is not appearing when barcode scanner is connected please help with this


I found solution and it worked for Nexus 4.4.2
if(getResources().getConfiguration().hardKeyboardHidden == Configuration.HARDKEYBOARDHIDDEN_NO){
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showInputMethodPicker();
}
You have to disable hardware keyboard on the popup message.


Android can only have one keyboard connected at a time.
The scanner counts as a keyboard.

Show soft input keyboard

I'm trying to show the soft input keyboard for a view on the touch event.
This line works:
inputManager.toggleSoftInputFromWindow(getWindowToken(),0,0);
But this line doesn't work:
inputManager.showSoftInput(this,0);
Why is it so? What if I want to connect the soft input to the view?
Thanks.

I think you are testing on emulator. not on real device?
It will not open the keyboard on AVD but it will open on real device, which does not have Hard key board.
To test it on AVD you need to disable the keyboard.
To disable keyboard use
Click on AVD manager > open you targeted AVD > Edit > Hardware > New > Keyboard Support > OK > Make it "NO"

try this:
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, 0);

try this in onclick event.
InputMethodManager imm =
(InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED,
InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY);

showSoftInput() won't work unless your View has focus. Moreover, calling requestFocus() does not give your View focus unless you first call setFocusableInTouchMode() and/or setFocusable() to true.

You need to request focus first and show the soft input as follows:
mEditTextStudy.requestFocus();
mEditTextStudy.post(
new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
InputMethodManager imm =
(InputMethodManager)
getActivity()
.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
if (imm != null) {
imm.showSoftInput(mEditTextStudy, SHOW_FORCED);
}
}
});

you can use following code to hide keyboard.
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(
WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);

try this
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(editText.getWindowToken(), 0);
or try input InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS instead of 0
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(myEditText.getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);
you can use below code to suppress the keyboard until the user touched the edittext view.
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
