How to open keyboard on Android by javascript without click or touch event?

Question

Is it possible to open keyboard on Android without click or touch event? For example just after appending textarea to some element? element.focus() works for me on iOS but not on Android.

Answer 1

Simply add "requestFocus" to your XML. Something like

        <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editText"
        ... />
        <requestFocus />

and in onCreate()

this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE);

Or: It could be just

editText.requestFocus();
this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE);
