you can make a keyboard always visible for an activity by adding the following in the manifest under the activity tag

android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysVisible"

So your manifest file should contain something like this

<activity android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysVisible" />

More Information can be found here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/activity-element.html
