Show keyboard for edittext when fragment starts

Question

When my fragment starts, I want my edittext to be in focus/let user to just start typing in it. I am able to get it in focus with requestFocus(), but I cannot get the keyboard to show up.

I have tried both this:

edit = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.search); edit.requestFocus(); InputMethodManager imgr = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); imgr.showSoftInput(edit, 0); 

and

edit = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.search); InputMethodManager imgr = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); imgr.showSoftInput(edit, 0); edit.requestFocus(); 

How can I get the keyboard to show up for EditText?

Answer 1

Does this work?

imgr.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY);
