Android Question Keeping the Keyboard Open

I've got a slightly frustrating problem I can't work out - When the user clicks on the textbox to focus it, the keyboard pops up. However, if I programmatically set the focus on it, the keyboard stays hidden.

What I'm trying to do is after the user has entered their text, and pressed the Finished button on the keyboard it to set the focus back to the textbox after processing the entry and clearing the box so the user can enter another line of text without clicking on the text box manually.

I've had a hunt around the forums already, but haven't found anything that works. I've also tried keeping it simple by using IME.ShowKeyboard in the text box FocusChanged event.

(Sorry, I keep saying textbox, but it's an AutoComplete Textbox, in case it makes any difference!)
