Question

In my app the first view of all my screens is an EditText, so every time i go to a screen the onscreen keypad pops up. how can i disable this popingup and enable it when manually clicked on the EditText????

    eT = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.searchAutoCompleteTextView_feed);

    eT.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {

        public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {

            if(hasFocus){
            InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); 
            imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(eT.getWindowToken(), 0);
            }
        }
    });

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/searchAutoCompleteTextView_feed"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_toLeftOf="@id/goButton_feed"
    android:layout_toRightOf="@id/feedPageLogo"
    android:hint="@string/search" />

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/feedLabel"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"

        android:textColor="@color/black" />
</LinearLayout>

<ListView
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/feedListView"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_above="@id/ButtonsLayout_feed"
    android:layout_below="@id/feedLabel"
    android:textSize="15dp" >
</ListView>

the third view (EditText) is where the focus is.

Answer 1

Use following code in your onCreate() method-

    editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText);
    editText.requestFocus();
    editText.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            InputMethodManager keyboard = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            keyboard.hideSoftInputFromWindow(
                    editText.getWindowToken(), 0);
        }
    }, 200);

Answer 2

You have to create a view, above the EditText, that takes a 'fake' focus:

Something like :

<!-- Stop auto focussing the EditText -->
<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:background="@android:color/transparent"
    android:focusable="true"
    android:focusableInTouchMode="true">
</LinearLayout>

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/searchAutoCompleteTextView_feed"
    android:layout_width="200dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:inputType="text" />

In this case, I used a LinearLayout to request the focus. Hope this helps.

This worked perfectly...thanks to Zaggo0

You can use following code for disabling OnScreen Keyboard.

InputMethodManager im = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
im.hideSoftInputFromWindow(editText.getWindowToken(), 0);

Answer 4

If anyone is still looking for the easiest solution, set the following attribute to true on your parent layout

android:focusableInTouchMode="true"

Example:

<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:focusableInTouchMode="true">

.......
......
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

Answer 5

Try this answer,

editText.setRawInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);
editText.setTextIsSelectable(true);

Note: only for API 11+

Answer 6

       <TextView android:layout_width="match_parent"
                 android:layout_height="wrap_content"

                 android:focusable="true"
                 android:focusableInTouchMode="true">

                <requestFocus/>
      </TextView>

      <EditText android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
