Show keyboard when touch on Edittext with external input device connected (Barcode Scanner)

Question

My Tablet is connected to an USB Barcode Scanner. This will automatically hide the keyboard as the system assume that you are using an external keyboard. Which is what i want. But I will need the softkey to showup when i touch on the Edittext inside my fragment. can anyone advise how i can do this?

Because i am very new to android programming, it would help alot if you can post a simple codes consist of a fragment and an Edittext . thank you

Sorry, found out to solve this, just need to do to settings -> Language and input.

Default -> turn off physical hardware keyboard
