I have 2 activities, A and B. When A starts, it checks for a condition and if true, it calls startActivityForResult()
to start B. B only takes text input so it makes sense for the soft keyboard to automatically pop up when B start. When the activity starts, the EditText already has focus and it ready for input.
The problem is that the keyboard never shows up, even with windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysVisible"
set in the manifest under the <activity>
tag for B. I also tried with the value set to stateVisible
. Since it doesn't show up automatically, I have to tap the EditText to make it show.
Anyone know what the solution might be?
