title: Android TextField : set focus + soft input programmatically
body: <p>In my view, I have a search EditText and I would like to trigger programmatically the behaviour of a click event on the field, i.e give focus to the text field AND display soft keyboard if necessary (if no hard keyboard available).</p>
  
  <p>I tried <code>field.requestFocus()</code>. The field actually gets focus but soft keyboard is not displayed.</p>
  
  <p>I tried <code>field.performClick()</code>. But that only calls the OnClickListener of the field.</p>
  
  <p>Any idea ?</p>
