Hi,

While you create an entry widget, and tap on it, the vitural keyboard will popup automatically. I am not sure what your purpose? :)

Hi,
To initiate keyboard showing for entry you could use:
   evas_object_show(entry);
   elm_object_focus_set(entry,EINA_TRUE);

Hello,

may be this will help you:

void elm_entry_input_panel_show(Evas_Object * obj). It shows the input panel (virtual keyboard) based on the input panel property of the entry such as layout and so on. The input panel is shown automatically according to the focus state of the entry widget. This API can be used in case of manually controlling by using elm_entry_input_panel_enabled_set(en, EINA_FALSE).
