I gave multilanguage support for my android applicaton. when i choose languages like french,german,spanish and edittext is in focus then it shows proper english keyboard as shown :-but when i select japanese language and edittext is in focus then it shows japanes keyboard as shown :-but i want to show english keyboard by default.. I have an edittext field which is disabled at the beginning.. i would like to set it to enabled, put the cursor on it and the keyboard should be visible. i tried the following code and all works - only the keyboard will not be shown..
Choosing the input type configures the keyboard type that is shown, acceptable characters, and appearance of the edit text. for example, if you want to accept a secret number, like a unique pin or serial number, you can set inputtype to "numericpassword".. Every text field expects a certain type of text input, such as an email address, phone number, or just plain text. so it's important that you specify the input type for each text field in your app so the system displays the appropriate soft input method (such as an on-screen keyboard)..
