    copied!<p>I read a couple of the posts here and also tried googling. But I still have this problem:<br> I have made a subclassed custom Dialog. It contains an EditText and a Button ("OK"). I want to have the keyboard show automatically once the dialog pops up.</p> <p>I succeeded doing so by putting this:</p> <pre><code>imm = (InputMethodManager) EditDialog.this.getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS); </code></pre> <p>in my <em>onCreate()</em> of the custom dialog and</p> <pre><code>imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(editText.getWindowToken(), 0); </code></pre> <p>in my <em>dismiss()</em>.</p> <p>This opens the keyboards once the dialog pops up and also closes the keyboard once I press the "OK" button.</p> <p>However, if the Soft Keyboard is open and I press the HOME Button of my phone/the emulator, they keyboard will stay open, since - I figured - I force it open with SHOW_FORCED. I thus tried to hide (using toggleSoftInput() from InputMethodManager) the keyboard if it is open in the dialog's parent activity onPause() method. this seems only to be possible using a workaround, as seen <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2150078/android-is-software-keyboard-shown">HERE</a>.</p> <p><strong>TL;DR</strong>: I want the Soft Keyboard to be shown when my Dialog with an EditText and a Button pops up (focus on EditText). I got that working but it involved writing many hacks to <em>close</em> it properly.</p> <p><strong>Edit</strong>: I based my code on <a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/android-developers@googlegroups.com/msg58137.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">THIS</a></p>
