I don't want to show the virtual keyboard.
I tried the below method but it doesn't make any difference.
InputMethodManager imm = InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(enter_count.getWindowToken(), 0);
enter_count is my edit text
I have tried reading up on the InputMethod Manager but can't follow it.
I can set the input type of my edit text called enter_count as follows
enter_count.setInputType( InputType.TYPE_NULL );
but then I can't specify to only accept numeric input
Can you please give me a reasonable solution to simply not show the virtual keyboard without losing the ability to only accept numeric input on the physical keyboard.
How about this?
EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edt_hello);
editText.setKeyListener(new NumberKeyListener() {
@Override
public int getInputType() {
return InputType.TYPE_NULL;
}
@Override
protected char[] getAcceptedChars() {
return new char[] { '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9' };
}
});
you have to use this in your AndroidManifest.xml file
So add
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"
But with that your keyboard will always be hidden in that Activity.

Have you tried adding this in the Activity tag of your manifest?
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"
Add this in yourSendData()
function
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(textEntered.getWindowToken(),0);
OR use this
InputMethodManager.RESULT_UNCHANGED_SHOWN);
imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY, 0);
this work :)
