keyboard not shown when alert box is popup containing a webview

Question

i am trying to make an alertbox which popup and display a webview where a user can login to check their email. The alert box is working perfectly and is displaying the webpage. The problem is when i want to enter mu email address, no keyboard is shown for input.

Please help or suggest me alternative ways.

code for alertbox:

gmail.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()  
      {  
          @Override  
          public void onClick(View v)  
          {  
           
           
           AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(RegisterActivity.this); 
           alert.setTitle("Check Gmail");

           WebView wv = new WebView(RegisterActivity.this);
           
           wv.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

         @Override
         public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                      switch (event.getAction()) {
                      case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                      case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                          if (!v.hasFocus()) {
                              v.requestFocus();
                          }
                          break;
                  }
                  return false;
         }
              });
           
           wv.loadUrl("https://mail.google.com");
           wv.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
               @Override
               public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
                   view.loadUrl(url);

                   return true;
               }
           });

           alert.setView(wv);
           alert.setNegativeButton("Close", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
               @Override
               public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {
                   dialog.dismiss();
               }
           });
           alert.show();
          }  
      });

You need to add Focus down for web view.

Just update as below.

wv.requestFocus(View.FOCUS_DOWN);
wv.requestFocusFromTouch();
wv.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        switch (event.getAction()) {
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                if (!v.hasFocus()) {
                    v.requestFocus();
                }
                break;
        }
        return false;
    }
});

Hope this will solve your problem.
