TextEdit OnFocusChangeListener

Question

I am trying to get the keyboard to come up when an editText view gets or has focus. I am getting the error getOnFocusChangeListener in view cannot be applied to anonymous android.view.View.OnFocusChangeListener

The error starts on new View.OnFocusChangeListener() and goes through the whole class. I can't figure out why or how to get this working.

Here is my code:

final EditText measurement = (EditText)dialog.findViewById(R.id.measurement);

measurement.getOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener(){
   @Override
   public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus){
      InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
      if(hasFocus){
         imm.showSoftInput(measurement, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
      }else{
         imm.showSoftInput(measurement, InputMethodManager.HIDE);
      }
   }
});

Please help me fill in the gaps in my knowledge about why this isn't working

Answer 1

instead of

 measurement.getOnFocusChangeListener
 // you have to use
 measurement.setOnFocusChangeListener 

also you dont need to set a listener for edit text. whenever a edit text is clicked the softkeyboard will show up by itself, unless you are modifying certain behavior.
