how to display a keyboard automatically - android

When an activity is started, the keyboard should automatically get displayed without click of the edittext. I know that when we click the edittext, the keyboard is displayed. But I want that the keyboard should automatically get displayed. How to do this? Please reply.

You should consider adding android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysVisible" to your activity xml tag in AndroidManifest.xml. More details can be found in documentation.
<manifest ...>
...
<application ...>
<activity android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysVisible" ... />
</application>
...
</manifest>

windowSoftInputMode=“adjustResize” doesn't work in my Activity

I have form-like editTexts and my softkeyboard is overlapping editText field. In my FragmentActivity I just set windowSoftInputMode=“adjustResize” in my AndroidManifest (or in onCreate()) and it works. But in my regular Activity I set this and it doesnt work at all.
I cant set android:fitsystemwindow="true" because it will destroy my layout with transparent statusBar and not transparent navigationBar.
AndroidManifest
<activity
android:name=".ProfilePackage.EditProfile.EditProfileActivity"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
android:label="#string/app_name">
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".Activities.CommentActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" />
I had the same Problem where the Softkeyboard was covering other views. So I added this line in manifest.

SoftKeyboard in Dialog Activity pans the activity behind

Just as the title says, from one activity I start a dialog activity that contains an editText. When I click it and the softKeyboard comes up, it pans the DialogActivity but it also affects the activity behind.
This is the manifest entry for the parent activity
<activity
android:name=".BasketStep2Activity"
android:parentActivityName=".home.Start"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden|adjustPan" >
<meta-data
android:name="android.support.PARENT_ACTIVITY"
android:value=".home.Start" />
</activity>
and this is the manifest entry for the dialog activity
<activity
android:name=".SelectRelais"
android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan|stateHidden"
android:theme="#style/AppDialog" >
</activity>
The parent activity pans to the bottom as if there was an editText with focus there. If i use "adjustResize", everything is obviously messed up. Is there a way to prevent any changes to the background activity?
use adjustNothing instead of adjustPan in parent activity

Selectionbar is hidden

I have added adjustPan in Manifest.xml file here is my Activity tag in Manifest.xmlandroid:name=".LoginActivity"
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden|screenSize"
android:theme="#style/Theme.Sherlock.NoActionBar"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"
Problem is this when I added adjustPan my Selection bar(CAB) is hidden. When I remove adjustPan from Manifest.xml Its showing perfect. Let me know what's wrong with adjustPan?

Keyboard covers up part of edittext

I have a numberpicker but my keyboard is not showing up like I want.
Screen:
As you can see, the keyboard covers part of the edittext.
How can I fix this without using a scrollview?
I've already tried setting android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" or "adjustResize".
When I use scrollview I get the following problem :
Screen shifts a bit when change focus to next edittext
Thx :)
in manifest file set activity attribute
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize|stateHidden"
like :
<activity
android:name=".LoginActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:theme="#android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize|stateHidden" >
it should work

Running the Android app without TitleBar

As by default, the application name is appearing on one label like TextView. How do i remove my titlebar permanently for my application?
Any ideas?
You can use below code for that -
<activity android:name="YourActivityname" android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar" />
If you want the full screen of your device you can use below code -
<activity android:name="YourActivityname" android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" />
And, also refer Developer's Site
That is a setting based on the activity in your android manifest file.
Use the No Title Bar theme for your activity.
<activity android:name="MyActivityName" android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar" />
