Display The On-Screen Keyboard on Android Devices

Latest update on by Aoife McCambridge .

Sometimes the onscreen keyboard of your Android device may not appear automatically. However it is usually visible in the background of the screen once you select a text to edit or enter a text area such as an email or SMS.

Display The On-Screen Keyboard on Android Devices

  • In a text field (email or a message):simply tap on the text box to make the keyboard display appear.
  • You can also press and hold the menu button for several seconds to display the keypad. With this feature, you should see the keyboard appear on your Android phone. However, if you're in an application that doesn't require the keyboard to be used, it's likely that the keyboard won't appear.
