when using AlertDialog.Builder with EditText, the Soft Keyboard doesn't pop

Question

Hi,

I am using AlertDialog.Builder in order to create an input box, with EditText as the input method.

Unfortunately, the Soft Keyboard doesn't pop, although the EditText is in focus, unless you explicitly touch it again.

Is there a way to force it to pop?

I've tried the following, after the (AlertDialog.Builder).show(); but for no avail. InputMethodManager mgr = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); mgr.showSoftInput(input, InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED);

Anyone can help?

Thanks!!

This was answered here already. Using an OnFocusChangeListener worked for me.
