Android, how to display keyboard while I'm already using stateHidden?

Question

I have to use stateHidden in Manifest for some reason. But I also need to display keyboard as default for a onCreate(). But whatever I do, the keyboard still not pops-up as default.

I have tried:

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(mText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);

And:

InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager)mText.getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);  
         inputManager.showSoftInput(mText, 0);

Try set a listener to FocusChanger and force the request focus with the inputMethodCall.

mText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
                editText.post(new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                        imm.showSoftInput(mText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
                    }
                });
            }
        });
mText.requestFocus();

Check if your manifest is stateHidden instead stateAlwaysHidden

Seems that your code contains several errors. Can run n I don't know how to fix it, could you? — bianlei, Nov 09 '14 at 13:59
What kind of error you get? What view you wanna show the keyboard? — Ismael Di Vita, Nov 09 '14 at 14:16

Maybe this post will help you. You need to add android:focusableInTouchMode="false" to the main LinearLayout.
