My customer reported an issue:
When he opens an activity of my App an AutoCompleteTextView which has focus (and is enabled) remains grey and insensitive for entering text via soft keyboard. After switching focus to and from another EditText the first AutoCompleteTextView becomes sensitive and accepts entered text.
The issue so far was reported only from Galaxy Note with Android 2.3.5.
Did anyone experience a similar problem?
Thank you.

I notice Android devices' default keyboard behave in a different ways, but I have 1 particular behaviour that I am unsure what it is and how to configure the keyboards settings. See the info below.
When Click in any edittext to get focus, the Keyboard shows up
When I type "Hello", the edittext don't get filled with the text immediately. I need to click the suggested "Hello" and then the text shows up in the edittext
Questions:
What are the settings to make the keyboard behave this way?
Is this behaviour the same on all Android keyboards? (I think no but, I
don't find any supporting references)
Do you guys know any 3rd party keyboard app that has this feature?
How to know if the user is using this type of keyboard?
To detect user interaction I use a combination of (1)onUserInteraction() and a (2)custom TextWatcher implementation. Both are tested and working so I didn't add the source codes. I mentioned the 2 above because those kind of keyboards with that behavior textchanges cannot be detected.
From the screenshots above "Hello" will only show when you click the green "Hello" in the left screenshot.
I have an EditText field in my application with inputType="number". When selecting the field, the normal keyboard appears; it shows the normal Qwerty keyboard without numbers.
I want the keyboard to display the number keys in the keyboard rather requiring the user to manually switch to enter numbers. Has anyone faced a similar sort of issue? Is there any workaround for this?
I'm running the latest BB10 OS on a Dev Alpha device (released Jan. 30, 2013).
I have created one application using webview. In Webview i have loaded one mvc page. that has two text boxes for getting username and password. While focusing textbox, textbox and keypad is blinking more on the Device Samsung Ace GT S5830. It is working good in IPAD, IPOD, IPHONE and WINDOWS PHONE. Please anyone tell me how to stop this blinking?
Hi this is the issue with Android. We have workaround for solving this by setting the below in the AndroidManifest file.
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
Now the keyboard blinking issue is resolved.
In my app I used TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_SENTENCES for the edittext,
etMessage.setInputType(EditorInfo.TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_SENTENCES);
it is working with the default keyboard in every devices and emulator. But when we use swipe keyboard the capitalization is not happening. Client wants it to work everytime. Can anyone help me to resolve this issue??.
#didnh's response is correct.
You are asking for TYPE_TEXT_FLAG_CAP_SENTENCES. Any given input method editor (a.k.a., soft keyboard) can honor or ignore your request.
File a bug report with the makers of the keyboard that is causing you difficulty and explain to the client that it is the keyboard's fault.
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.
