Good sir, try this:android
edittext.setFocusableInTouchMode(true); edittext.requestFocus();
Im not sure, but this might be required on some phones (some of the older devices):ide
finalInputMethodManager inputMethodManager =(InputMethodManager) context
.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputMethodManager.showSoftInput(edittext,InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
