In this scenario, you have an EditText as a search box, and you want it to focus and display the soft keyboard when clicked. Even though you've tried using field.requestFocus(), the soft keyboard still doesn't appear.
Here’s a solution you can try:
edittext.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
edittext.requestFocus();
If this doesn’t work, you may need to add an extra step for some devices, especially older ones:
final InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) context
.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputMethodManager.showSoftInput(edittext, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);This should force the soft keyboard to appear when the EditText is focused.
