How to show a soft-keyboard when EditText is selected?

Question

I tried using the accepted answer here but this does not work for me!

Any advice is appreciated :)

Post your code. Everything I have read says that your link should work. — Phil, Aug 23 '11 at 15:55
Oh I forgot to mention, my editText is part of a titleLayout that I am including in this activity. i.e in the first (landing)activity of the main-tabbed-activity, the softkeyboard shows up when the editText is selected. But if I go to the second activity in the main-tabbed-activity w/o using the softkeyboard in the first instance, the softkeyboard does not show up! — Ahmed Faisal, Aug 23 '11 at 16:02
In what way is it not working? Can you provide a bit more detail to your question - i.e. the code you are using and the actual outcome? — seanhodges, Aug 23 '11 at 16:03
Thank you for your answers. I finally go it to work. All I had to do was to clear the focus when I navigate from one activity to another. :) Thank you once again! — Ahmed Faisal, Aug 23 '11 at 16:15

how about this:

 activity.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_VISIBLE);

This line of code (which seems so obvious now) did the trick:

editText.clearFocus();
