Keyboard doesn't show up automatically

[itabdullah1]

I use the search view inside coordinator layout-->Appbar layout-->Collapsing toolbar. When the search view opens the keyboard doesn't show up automatically. However if I click on the editable area after the search view opens the keyboard shows up. How to show keyboard automatically when the search view opens. Here is my xml.

<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" android:id="@+id/main_content" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
