[MaterialDatePicker] Soft input not showing when picker is shown with INPUT_MODE_TEXT

[mialkan]

Description:

When I try to show MaterialDatePicker with input mode text its not showing the soft input keyboard. But If I switch between text and calendar mode it shows soft input. It works for some android devices that I tested. (Android 6, Android 7).

Expected behavior: Soft Input should be shown when MaterialDatePicker opened with input mode text.

Source code:

material-components-android/lib/java/com/google/android/material/internal/ViewUtils.java

Line 87 in eb54d6a

public static void requestFocusAndShowKeyboard(@NonNull final View view) {

InputMethodManager logs the following:

W/InputMethodManager: Ignoring showSoftInput() as view=com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText{5e38b94 VFED..CL. .F...... 0,0-770,153 aid=1073741824} is not served.

If you can add a delay to post its working.

As a corollary to this issue, switching from INPUT_MODE_TEXT to INPUT_MODE_CALENDAR via the toggle does not hide the keyboard if it has been opened. Could we also get a fix for this please? I think these issues may be related or the same issue showing up in different ways. Let me know if I need to create a new issue for this.

@chanakin can you create a separate bug with the steps to reproduce? Thanks!
