keyboard

This is the default behavior of Android. I know that it sounds simple, but programmatically showing the keyboard is very difficult and unreliable.

If being able to bring up a keyboard via code is critical for your app, you can do so by using a custom keyboard, but doing so requires some work. See http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4andr.../11631-custom-keyboard-creator-interface.html for help.

tks

After much effort, I've realized that if you want to reliably SHOW the keyboard, you must initialize the edittext view every time you want the keyboard displayed (reliably).
you can initialize the same edittext multiple times and even change attributes such as INPUT_TYPE from PHONE, TEXT etc.

Obviously, you can HIDE the keyboard with the phone.hidekeyboard

You can SHOW the keyboard with the initialize function of the edit text

I hope this helps
