Custom EditText is not showing keyboard on focus

Question

I am creating a custom EditText class because i need to set some custom fonts; However now when i click on the editText the android keyboard does not pop up anymore...

here is my class:

    package ro.gebs.captoom.utils.fonts;  import android.content.Context; import android.content.res.TypedArray; import android.graphics.Rect; import android.graphics.Typeface; import android.util.AttributeSet; import android.view.inputmethod.InputMethodManager; import android.widget.EditText;  import ro.gebs.captoom.R;  public class CustomFontEditText extends EditText {      private Context context;      public CustomFontEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {         super(context, attrs, defStyle);         if (!isInEditMode()) {             TypedArray a = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.CustomFontEditText,                     defStyle, 0);              assert a != null;             int fontId = a.getInteger(R.styleable.CustomFontEditText_fontNameEdit, -1);             if (fontId == -1) {                 throw new IllegalArgumentException("The font_name attribute is required and must refer "                         + "to a valid child.");             }             a.recycle();             initialize(fontId);         }         this.context = context;     }      public CustomFontEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {         this(context, attrs, 0);         this.context = context;     }      public CustomFontEditText(Context context) {         super(context);         this.context = context;     }      @SuppressWarnings("ConstantConditions")     public void initialize(int fontId) {          Typeface tf = null;         switch (fontId) {             case 0:                 tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "fonts/OpenSans-Regular.ttf");                 break;             case 1:                 tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "fonts/OpenSans-Bold.ttf");                 break;             case 2:                 tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "fonts/OpenSans-Semibold.ttf");                 break;             case 3:                 tf = Typeface.createFromAsset(getContext().getAssets(), "fonts/OpenSans-ExtraBold.ttf");                 break;         }          setTypeface(tf);     } } 

and how i use it in XML:

<ro.gebs.captoom.utils.fonts.CustomFontEditText                         android:id="@+id/add_details_txt_edit"                         android:layout_width="fill_parent"                         android:layout_height="wrap_content"                         android:layout_marginLeft="10dip"                         android:hint="@string/type_here"                         android:inputType="textPersonName"                         custom:fontNameEdit="Regular" /> 

I thought the focusing events were handled by the fact that i extend the EditText class...

Any hints?

It's an old question but if someone cares, the problem is on the implementation of the constructor:

public CustomFontEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {     this(context, attrs, 0);     this.context = context; } 

The last argument ("defStyle") which you set as 0, should be the default style for an EditText. If you take a look at the same constructor on the EditText class:

public EditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {     this(context, attrs, com.android.internal.R.attr.editTextStyle); } 

As you can see, the default style for an EditText should be used, so your constructor should look like this:

public CustomFontEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {     this(context, attrs, android.R.attr.editTextStyle);     this.context = context; }
