Question

I am facing a strange problem.
My app works fine in 2.1 (emulator + device). But, when I use 2.2
(both emulator + device) then there is an issue with the soft
keyboard.
There is a Activity in landscape mode in the app (use
android:screenOrientation=”landscape”).
There are two EditText in that Activity. But, soft keyboard is not
displaying for those. In fact, softkeyboard seems to apprear, but as a
bar in the bottom.
Please view the screenshot.

Any help will be appreciated.

tried different things for android:windowSoftInputMode , did not work

<Activity android:name=".PriceCalculator" 
    android:screenOrientation="landscape" 
    android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysVisible|adjustPan" 
    android:configChanges="orientation" 
    android:label="Pricing Calculator">
    ....
</Activity>


<EditText 
    android:id="@+id/adhesiveUnitPrice" 
    android:inputType="numberDecimal" 
    android:imeOptions="actionDone|flagNoExtractUi" 
    android:layout_column="4" android:gravity="right"/> 

Answer 1

I found out that, in 2.3, the softkeyboard wont show up in landscape mode if the emulator or the device has an hardware keyboard.
