Focusing an EditText Request

Question

I design the login page as:

UserName: ..... Password: ..... LoginButton 

When the action starts, I want the focus to move to the "UserName" text box and the keyboard will appear.

I am using the following code:

  boolean checkFocus=user.requestFocus(); Log.i("CheckFocus", ""+checkFocus); if(checkFocus==true) { InputMethodManager mgr = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); mgr.showSoftInput(user, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT); } 

I don’t understand where to write this code so that the keyboard is displayed when the activity starts and focuses in the "UserName" editing window. Can anyone guide me?

Answer 1

Programatically:

 edittext.requestFocus(); 

Via xml:

 <EditText...> <requestFocus /> </EditText> 

Or call the onClick method manually.

Answer 2

Yes, I got an answer. Just edit the manifest file as:

  <activity android:name=".MainActivity" android:label="@string/app_name" android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysVisible" /> 

and set EditText.requestFocus() to onCreate() ..

Thank..
