Answer 1

Have you tried something like:

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInputFromInputMethod(myEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);

Answer 2

In your App Manifest.xml file, you can set the soft keyboard status. Sounds like you want to set it to "stateVisible" or "stateAlwaysVisible"

android:windowSoftInputMode=["stateUnspecified",
                                   "stateUnchanged", "stateHidden",
                                   "stateAlwaysHidden", "stateVisible",
                                   "stateAlwaysVisible", "adjustUnspecified",
                                   "adjustResize", "adjustPan"] >
