I have 3 EditText
:
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:focusedByDefault="false"
android:minWidth="25px"
android:minHeight="25px"
android:id="@+id/editText1" />
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:focusedByDefault="true"
android:clickable="false"
android:id="@+id/editText2" />
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:focusedByDefault="false"
android:id="@+id/editText3" />
I want when the activity is opened the second EditText
to be focused(with the cursor blinking in it) but when I tap on it I don't want the keyboard to show up.
Here's an example I put together that works for me. And with this solution, you can remove the "focusedByDefault" and "clickable" attributes from all of your EditText views in your layout file.
public class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity, View.IOnTouchListener {
private EditText editText2;
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
SetContentView(Resource.Layout.main);
editText2 = FindViewById<EditText>(Resource.Id.editText2);
editText2.RequestFocus();
editText2.SetOnTouchListener(this); // Requires addition of View.IOnTouchListener interface to class
}
public bool OnTouch(View v, MotionEvent e) {
v.OnTouchEvent(e);
var imm = (Android.Views.InputMethods.InputMethodManager)v.Context.GetSystemService(InputMethodService);
imm?.HideSoftInputFromWindow(v.WindowToken, Android.Views.InputMethods.HideSoftInputFlags.None);
return true;
}
}
