is there a way to force soft keyboard in Android 4.4 app?

I'm developing an app which needs both software keyboard and bluetooth barcode reader. Barcode reader will be used in 99% of cases, but there are some options which require soft keyboard (e.g. typing e-mail address or password).

When barcode reader is paired with the phone, soft keyboard doesn't appear. I'd like to keep it that way, but when user enters a selected view soft keyboard should appear.

Thanks in advance!
