Soft Keyboard shows up on EditText focus ONLY once

Image
By User


Thanks for reading.



I am facing a strange problem: My app behavior is such that when the Activity starts, I requestFocus() on an EditText and show the soft keyboard.



However, when I press the back button to dismiss the keyboard and tap the EditText I don't get the keyboard to pop up ever again. Only way out is to the start the Activity again.



Here's what my code looks like: 





EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText);

editText.requestFocus();

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);

        if(imm != null) {

            imm.toggleSoftInput(0, 0);

            imm.showSoftInput(editText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED);    

        }


And here's my XML: 





<EditText android:id="@+id/editText" 

        android:layout_width="wrap_content"

        android:imeOptions="actionSearch" android:hint="Test Hint"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" 

        android:maxLength="30"> 

</EditText>


Any help would be greatly appreciated!



Thanks!

    Try this code,

    TO OPEN

    ettext.requestFocus();
    ettext.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
    InputMethodManager keyboard = (InputMethodManager)
    getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    keyboard.showSoftInput(ettext, 0);
    }
    },200);


    TO CLOSE

    ettext.requestFocus();
    ettext.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
    InputMethodManager keyboard = (InputMethodManager)
    getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    keyboard.hideSoftInputFromWindow(ettext.
    getWindowToken(), 0);
    }
    },200);

    try this:

    final InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)EnterWordsActivity.this.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    if (imm != null)
    {
    imm.toggleSoftInput(YOUE_EDTITE_TEXT.SHOW_FORCED,1);
    }

    You used the wrong view for showing the input window.

    EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText);
    editText.requestFocus();
    InputMethodManager imm =(InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    if(imm != null) {
    imm.showSoftInput(editText, 0);
    }

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

By User
I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

By User
Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
