title: Android: show soft keyboard automatically when focus is on an EditText
body: <p>I'm showing an input box using <code>AlertDialog</code>. The <code>EditText</code> inside the dialog itself is automatically focused when I call <code>AlertDialog.show()</code>, but the soft keyboard is not automatically shown.</p>
  
  <p>How do I make the soft keyboard automatically show when the dialog is shown? (and there is no physical/hardware keyboard). Similar to how when I press the Search button to invoke the global search, the soft keyboard is automatically shown.</p>
