There is a dialog with custom view containing
EditText as shown below in Typing Hero.
You would call
window?.setSoftInputMode(SOFT_INPUT_STATE_VISIBLE) so user can access the keyboard right away as it shows up.However, calling
window?.setSoftInputMode(SOFT_INPUT_STATE_VISIBLE) before dialog.show() can make the view below EditText not visible.
Apparently,
setSoftInputMode eventually updates the view’s layout which is not yet visible.
To prevent that from happening, call
dialog.show() before window?.setSoftInputMode(SOFT_INPUT_STATE_VISIBLE).Maybe it’s worth to mention that this is happening on physical device and NOT not on emulator.
