Android with external barcode reader

Hello, I have a screen with fields for typing and a specific field where I will use the external barcode reader. The problem is that the scanner turns off the virtual keyboard. Any ideas on how to leave both assets?

You can force the display of Soft Keyboard to the code entry field, regardless of whether the EditText has focus, using InputMethodManager in this way: 

EditText yourEditText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.idDoEditText);
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)
                         getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);

imm.showSoftInput(yourEditText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);

And to hide programmatically: 

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)
                         getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);

imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(yourEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);
