DialogFragment and force to show keyboard

Question

I have a problem with my DialogFragment. So to create my view, I use the method described on the android blog. Here is my DialogFragment

@Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {     final View myLayout = inflater.inflate(R.layout.dialog_connect, null);      edit = (EditText) myLayout.findViewById(R.id.password_edit);     edit.requestFocus();     getDialog().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_VISIBLE);      return myLayout; } 

If I use onCreateView(), it works but I would like create an AlterDialog and to do this, I have the following code :

@Override public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {     AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());     // Inflate and set the layout for the dialog     // Pass null as the parent view because its going in the dialog layout     builder            .setPositiveButton(R.string.ok, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {                 @Override                 public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {                     callback.onYesConnectClick(edit.getText().toString());                 }             })             .setNegativeButton(R.string.refuse, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {                 @Override                 public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int id) {                     callback.onNoConnectClick();                 }             });      return builder.create(); } 

If I comment the code from onCreateView(), the app works but I can't force the keyboard to be shown and if I uncomment onCreateView(), I get a crash. Here is the stack trace :

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.test/com.test.ProfileActivity_}: android.util.AndroidRuntimeException:     requestFeature() must be called before adding content AndroidRuntime at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity (ActivityThread.java:2312) AndroidRuntime at android.app.ActivityThread.handleLaunchActivity (ActivityThread.java:2362) AndroidRuntime at android.app.ActivityThread.access$600(ActivityThread.java:156) AndroidRuntime at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage(ActivityThread.java:1250) AndroidRuntime at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:99) AndroidRuntime at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:137) AndroidRuntime at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:5229) AndroidRuntime at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) AndroidRuntime at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:525) AndroidRuntime at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:799) AndroidRuntime at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:566) AndroidRuntime at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) AndroidRuntime Caused by: android.util.AndroidRuntimeException: requestFeature() must be called before adding content 

So my question ==> Can I use the AlertDialog and show the keyboard when the dialog appears ?

Answer 1

override onActivityCreated in your dialogfragment and put getDialog().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_VISIBLE); in there
