Enthracement : permanently show keyboard #246

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Good day.

It would be really great, if the is a option, to permanently show keyboard.
We are using tablets for entering information to our system, but the keyboard 
always shows/hides.

Thanks

The keyboard hiding is based on the application providing hints if the keyboard 
is needed or not. Which application are you using for information entry?

Is your issue that the keyboard hiding is distracting, or do you want to use it 
to control actions outside input boxes?

Good day.

Many thanks for you answer.
I need to develop my own application. As a first version, I'm using the
WebView class. I found many
methods for keyboard showing, but none of it is really working.

I also tried to make app from 2 parts - first the browser and second the
keyboard, but I always got
some error by compiling.

We will use this application for data entry, so there is no need to hide
soft keyboard.
Permanent view will be more economical and also quicker.

I will be very glad, if you can help me. Somehow.

If it's your own application, you should be able to get the behavior you want. 
See for example:

tml#SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE

Thanks for you help.

Unfortunately, after a thousand tries, I�m not able to show always the
keyboard.
Don�t know, if it�s because of use WebView class, but nothing is working.

I will need to make my application from the start (after I realize how to
get data from/to MySQL).

Thanks for your help anyway.
