I have added android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysVisible" to my Activity in AndroidManifest.xml and here's my layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    <EditText android:id="@+id/EditText01" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"></EditText>
    <EditText android:id="@+id/EditText02" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"></EditText>
    <Button android:id="@+id/Button01" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="Send"></Button>
</LinearLayout>

alt text

When the Activity starts, the EditText is focused, but soft keyboard isn't displayed. If I click on the EditText, then I see the soft keyboard. Do I need to set aditional parameters to display soft keyboard when my Activity starts?

Thanks
