how to prevent keyboard from hiding?
<p>Say I have an InputService ( keyboard ) that starts an activity. Since the activity has a transparent background, it is seen, that going on under it. Once the activity starts, the keyboard hides from under it and remains hidden after the activity has ended.</p>

<p>How to I prevent it from hiding?</p>

<pre><code>Intent PopIntent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), popup.class);
PopIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
getApplication().startActivity(PopIntent);
</code></pre>
