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>
