Ime_option is changing automatically

My EditText email_edittext is changing the ime_option from IME_ACTION_DONE to IME_ACTION_NEWLINE newline means the arrow to make new line.
this is my code
email_edittext.requestFocus();
InputMethodManager imm =
(InputMethodManager) getSystemService(SignupActivity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(email_edittext, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);

Java how to get input for EditText from toggleSoftInput

I created EditText by drawing it on canvas so I have problem on making the keyboard appear when clicked and to make the EditText receive input. After some searching, I found out that I can use InputMethodManager to make the keyboard appear to give inputs for EditText.
Unfortunately, EditText does not receive any character inputs from anything pressed on the soft keyboard.
And I need to use imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, 0); because when I used imm.showSoftInput(editText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);the soft keyboard did not appear at all when EditText is pressed.
Code:
if((int)event.getX() > 50 && event.getX()<400 && event.getY() > 50 && event.getY() < 200){
editText.setFocusable(true);
editText.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
editText.requestFocus();
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, 0);
}
How to solve this? Any working solution is welcomed. Thanks!

This should work fine.
EditText edit = (EditText) view.findViewById(R.id.passwordtextvalue);
edit.setOnKeyListener(this);
InputMethodManager imgr = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imgr.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY);
edit.requestFocus();
I have this in my app, and its working fine for edit text when I have the soft keyboard

Try this
EditText yourEditText= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.yourEditText);
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(yourEditText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);

I am creating a calculator app where i have an edittext where the result is shown.I want the data to be entered in the edit text only on clicking the number buttons NOT by the android keyboard.How do i disable the keyboard in my android app.Please help!

Try
editText.setInputType(EditorInfo.TYPE_NULL)
Or
((EditText) findViewById(R.id.LoginNameEditText)).setFocusable(false);
Or
editText.setKeyListener(null);

Try this :
InputMethodManager imm =(InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(myEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);

try below code:-
EditText ed = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(ed.getWindowToken(), 0);
ed.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(ed, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
}
});
or
Window.SetSoftInputMode (SoftInput.StateAlwaysHidden);

If other situations you can prevent the keyboard showing simply using in the manifest
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"
In this way the Android keyboard will not auto-open but is shown only if you click directly the EditText

Just posting an Answer what #yahya already commented.
You should consider using a TextView which is not editable and hence won't make any calls to the Keyboard.
In onClick() event of your button's call the setText(String) method and the apply the text you wish. :)
Ypu can also easily append things as setText(yourTextView.getText().toString + "Your New Text");

Hi Kindly try this: For this you no need any Widgets Context...
InputMethodManager miInputManager = (InputMethodManager) Activity.this
.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
miInputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(Activity.this
.getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(),
InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);

Use
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"
for <activity> in Android_Manifest.xml

EditText focus can't set

When start run app,of EditText visibbility set "gone" value.After in java visibbility set value visible.
I want at that time open keyboard and focus to be on EditText.I do It ,but don't work
`

editText.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
editText.setFocusable(true);
editText.setSelectAllOnFocus(true);`

try to change it with:

Android Show Soft Keyboard When First Activity Starts?

I need to display the virtual keyboard when the application starts, but so far I've failed.
I use this code in method "OnCreate"to display the virtual keyboard
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.toggleSoftInput(txtBuscar.getId(), InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED);
this code works fine on any screen at any time, but does not work when the "first" activity begins. Why?
I tried it when I start another activity and it works, but does not work when I start the "first"activity.
I tried to put this code in the events "OnCreate"and many more .... but it seems not work.
is there anyway to "force" to display the keyboard when I start the application?
Thanks in advance.

I Found the solution:
txtPassword.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
InputMethodManager keyboard = (InputMethodManager)
getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
keyboard.showSoftInput(txtPassword, 0);
}
},200);
Thanks !!!

onCreate will not be called if the activity is first brought from background. Have you tried put that code in onResume?
onCreate is called only when activity is first start or the activity is killed and user navigate to the activity again. So if the activity is still alive but in background, it will not call onCreate.
On the other hand, onResume will be called every time the activity comes to foreground (visible on screen) from background.
Here is link to activity life cycle if you are interested http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html.
Hope it helps.

I faced with the same issue, this method below helped me
public static void showKeyboard(Context context) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
if (imm != null) {
imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY);
}
}
