android edittext keyboard not showing after dialog dismissal

Question

I have an edit text that is working fine but after dismissing a dialog the keyboard is not showing despite the edit text is focused and the cursor is shown

I searched a lot and tried many solutions that didn't fix my issue

i tried these methods but they didn't work

public void showKeyboard(){
    InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    inputMethodManager.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, 0);
}

public void closeKeyboard(){
    InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    inputMethodManager.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY, 0);
}

and also tried adding them inside a runnable

Answer 1

here is the method I use to show keyboard for an edittext.

kotlin code:

below is an extension function for kotlin just need to call edittext.showKeyboard()

fun EditText.showKeyboard() {
  post {
    requestFocus()
    val imm = context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager
    imm.showSoftInput(this, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT)
  }
}

the java code:

public static void showKeyboard(EditText editText) {
    editText.post(new Runnable() {
      @Override
      public void run() {
        editText.requestFocus();
        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) editText.getContext()
            .getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        imm.showSoftInput(editText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
      }
    });
  }
