Android EditText issue

Question

I have an editText field in my app and the keyboard pops up when I focus the text field on lower APIs than 10. For some reson, the keyboard doesnt show when the editText is focused in APIs higher than 10. Also in API higher than 10, in the logcat it says eglSurfaceAttribute not implemented whenever I focus the EditText field. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

One way to bring up the soft keyboard when EditText is focused is to add <requestFocus/> to the EditText in the XML layout.

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/editText"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <requestFocus />
</EditText>

Let me know if this helps.
