title: Android:Is it possible to communicate with input method without a normal textview like edittext?
body: <p>If I popup input method with togglesoftinput,my view's onCreateInputConnection was not called, and i can not communicate with input method.</p>
  
  <p>And then i try to attach the input method to my view:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public boolean showSoftInput(View view, int flags,ResultReceiver resultReceiver) {
     checkFocus();
     synchronized (mH) {
        if (mServedView != view &amp;&amp; (mServedView == null || !mServedView.checkInputConnectionProxy(view))) {
           return false;
        }
     }
  ...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but it returns false</p>
  
  <p>How can I force onCreateInputConnection to be called?</p>
  
  <p>or </p>
  
  <p>How can I make mServedView == view  ?</p>
