How to Fix: Open soft keyboard programmatically

To open the soft keyboard programmatically in Android, you can use the InputMethodManager class. Here's an example of how to do it:

🔧 Solution

Example Code:

import android.os.Bundle; import android.view.InputMethodManager; import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity; public class SoftKeyboardActivity extends AppCompatActivity { @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_VISIBLE); InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); imm.showSoftInput(this, InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED); }} 

Method 2: Using View

1. Step 1: Get a reference to the View that contains the edit text.
2. Step 2: Use the requestFocus method to request focus on the view, which will display the soft keyboard.
