    <p>When comparing our design between developers, we found a strange behavior. After some analysis we went to this observation.</p> <p>When the activity starts, on some cases the keyboard appears but sometimes not.</p> <p>In fact, without a <code>ScrollView</code>, the soft keyboard does not appear by default on an <code>EditText</code>.</p> <pre><code>&lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" tools:context=".TestActivity" &gt; &lt;EditText android:id="@+id/editText1" android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="1" android:ems="10" android:inputType="text" &gt; &lt;requestFocus /&gt; &lt;/EditText&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; </code></pre> <p>But when we add a <code>ScrollView</code>, the soft keyboard shows up by default.</p> <pre><code>&lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" tools:context=".TestActivity" &gt; &lt;ScrollView android:id="@+id/scrollView1" android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:layout_weight="1" &gt; &lt;EditText android:id="@+id/editText1" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:ems="10" android:inputType="text" &gt; &lt;requestFocus /&gt; &lt;/EditText&gt; &lt;/ScrollView&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; </code></pre> <p>It only depends on the presence of the <code>ScrollView</code>. We can fix that with a specific declaration in the <code>AndroidManifest</code>, but this is the default behavior.</p> <p>I and my fellow developer wonder why is this occurring ?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
