android soft keyboard not showing on button click

Question

Here is the method on buttonclick but it is not working... i have tried many things but nothing seems to be work

public void open_keyboard(View view)
{
    message.msg_l(this, "keyboard clicked");
    InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    imm.showSoftInput(view, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
}

yes it does... because it generates a toast on screen with a message "keyboard clicked" — Awais Ahmad, Apr 23 '15 at 07:02

Try something like this:

 InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(MainActivity.this.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(mainLayout.getWindowToken(), 0);
