How to show keyboard on activity start when focusing to editor

[karandatwani92]

i requested the focus by mEditor.focusEditor(); and then code to show keyboard which works with edittext. but with editor, it's not working.

It looks like if you select in manually first, then requesting focus works, but when the page loads it looks like something isn't initialized until you tap the editor.

thanks for mEditor.focusEditor()

I had the same problem. While focusEditor() doesn't work, I show soft keyboard manually after the editor initially loaded.

editor.setOnInitialLoadListener(isReady -> {
            if (isReady) {
                editor.focusEditor();
                InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                imm.toggleSoftInputFromWindow(editor.getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT, 0);
            }
        });

in BottomSheetDialogFragment：

        binding.richEditor.setOnInitialLoadListener { isReady ->
            if (isReady) {
                binding.richEditor.focusEditor()
                binding.richEditor.post {
                    val imm = requireActivity().getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager
                    imm.toggleSoftInputFromWindow(binding.richEditor.windowToken, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT, 0)
                    requireActivity().window.setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_VISIBLE)
                }
            }
        }
