Automatically show custom keyboard for EditText. Android

Question

I want to make the custom keyboard in my android application and show it for specific EditText.
I've read documentation and found, that I need to extend the InputMethodService class. But I didn't find out how to show this keyboard automatically for some EditText.

Thanks

Answer 1

There is a example present in Android SDK

Load that Android Project

New --> Android Sample Project --> Soft Keyboard

To show your keyboard for particular edit text box you need to override OnTouchlistener
