Show immediately the keyboard in a new view

Question

Possible Duplicate:
Close/hide the Android Soft Keyboard

I have a problem with the visibility of the keyboard in a view: I have an activity with its own view (layout) that contains a button "new". Clicking on the button is superimposed on a view (layout) with a transparent background and an EditText.

My question is:

I would like to bring up the keyboard immediately when I click on "new" and the new screen appears, I click on that new, new screen appears with the keyboard and click on the EditText without sull'edittext to bring up the keyboard. I hope I explained. How can I do?

You should post code, so we can see what already you've tried. — cem, Nov 28 '12 at 10:40

Programatically:

edittext.requestFocus();

Through xml:

<EditText...>
    <requestFocus />
</EditText>

either will set the focus on the your edittext at the beginning and as such will bring up your keyboard.

You should add the following line to your activity in AndroidManifest.xml:

   android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysVisible"
