The keybord and focus on edittext only shows when I click on it. I want it automatically when I click on EditText(This is editxText).

Solution

  • in your preference fragment that extends from PreferenceFragmentCompat override onResume() with below

    @Override
public void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    Preference search = findPreference(getString(R.string.setting_edit_text_key));
    search.performClick();
}

    Illustration: you inflate the EditTextPreference using its key, and perform a click on it.
