[ACCEPTED]-Unable to show keyboard automatically in the SearchView-searchview

Fixed!

mSearchView.setOnQueryTextFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
                        @Override
                        public void onFocusChange(View view, boolean hasFocus) {
                            if (hasFocus) {
                                showInputMethod(view.findFocus());
                            }
                        }
                    });

And

private void showInputMethod(View view) {
        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        if (imm != null) {
          imm.showSoftInput(view, 0);
        }
    }

I encountered this problem with a SearchView 2 that still would not open the keyboard, and 1 was able to do so by adding a 200ms delay:

   mSearchView.setOnQueryTextFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onFocusChange(final View view, boolean hasFocus) {
            if (hasFocus) {
                view.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                        imm.showSoftInput(view.findFocus(), 0);
                    }
                }, 200);
            }
        }
    });

If you are using SearchView:

<android.support.v7.widget.SearchView
      android:id="@+id/searchView"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
      android:iconifiedByDefault="true"
      app:showAsAction="always"
      app:iconifiedByDefault="true"/>

Then just add it to your 1 onCreate method :

final SearchManager searchManager = (SearchManager) getSystemService(SEARCH_SERVICE);
        searchView.setSearchableInfo(searchManager.getSearchableInfo(getComponentName()));
        searchView.setIconifiedByDefault(false);
        searchView.setFocusable(true);
        searchView.setIconified(false);
        searchView.requestFocusFromTouch();

It works for me.

What about using setOnFocusChangeListener?

searchview.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
    @Override
    public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
        if (hasFocus){
            InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED,0);
        }
    }
});

Best and simplest way to do it :

        android:focusable="true"
        app:iconifiedByDefault="false"
        android:focusableInTouchMode="true"

Add above three lines into your xml under 1 SearchView and see the magic....!!

Try:

void focusSearchViewAndOpenOrCloseKeyboard(boolean focus) {
    searchView.setIconified(focus);
}

The source shows us that SearchView handles its own 1 closing and opening of the soft keyboard.

 <EditText
        android:id="@+id/edt_search"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:background="@null"
        android:ellipsize="end"
        android:hint="@string/SERACH"
        android:imeOptions="actionSearch"
        android:inputType="textVisiblePassword"
        android:singleLine="true"
        android:textAlignment="viewStart" />

add <requestFocus /> in your search view like this

<EditText
            android:id="@+id/et_search"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="48dp"
            android:background="@android:color/transparent"
            android:imeOptions="actionSearch"
            android:maxLines="1"
            android:padding="8dp"
            android:singleLine="true"
            android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Large"
            android:textColor="@android:color/white"
            android:textColorHint="#e6e6e6">

            <requestFocus />

        </EditText>
