Android Question IME Soft Keyboard

[Rogerardo]

I know it may be simple but I can't get the soft keyboard to display.
In Globals I have:

Dim IME1 as IME

In Activity_Create I have:

IME1.Initialize("IME1")

In my EditText (fieldname Comments) I have :

Sub Comments_FocusChanged (HasFocus As Boolean)
IME1.ShowKeyboard(Comments)
End Sub

Can anyone tell me what I need to do?

The keyboard should be appear automatically when ad editable view gets focus, without the need of IME.

IME1.ShowKeyboard(ViewX) can be used to set focus on a view and show the keyboard from anywhere in your code.

Without reading your code is difficult to understand why the keyboard does not appear.

Here is my code. Very simple stuff. This is 1 module (the simplest) of 14 which makes up an invoicing, contracts due, and product locations system which downloads and uploads via FTP to a main server. Keyboard will not display automatically at all. Tablets used are all Samsung Galaxy. The emulator I use is BlueStacks, which again will not show the keyboard automatically.

I meant that the Keyboard should be appear even if you don't use the IME library!

Delete (or comment) everything about IME, also the reference to the library.

In the Resume:

Comments.RequestFocus
