How to disable keypad popup when on edittext?

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);
            }
        }
    });

</ListView>

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

Answer 1

In a Android app I was building, I had three EditTexts in a LinearLayout arranged horizontally. I had to prevent the soft keyboard from appearing when the fragment loaded. In addition to setting focusable and focusableInTouchMode to true on the LinearLayout, I had to set descendantFocusability to blocksDescendants. In onCreate, I called requestFocus on the LinearLayout. This prevented the keyboard from appearing when the fragment is created.

Layout -

    <LinearLayout
       android:id="@+id/text_selector_container"
       android:layout_width="match_parent"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"
       android:weightSum="3"
       android:orientation="horizontal"
       android:focusable="true"
       android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
       android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"
       android:background="@color/black">

       <!-- EditText widgets -->

    </LinearLayout>

In onCreate - mTextSelectorContainer.requestFocus();

Answer 2

Simple,Just Remove "" tag from the xml file

Answer 3

For Xamarin Users:

[Activity(MainLauncher = true, 
        ScreenOrientation = ScreenOrientation.Portrait, 
        WindowSoftInputMode = SoftInput.StateHidden)] //SoftInput.StateHidden - disables keyboard autopop

Answer 4

Just need to add property android:focusable="false" in particular EditText in the layout xml. Then you can write click listner for EditText without keypad popup.

Answer 5

People have suggested many great solutions here, but I used this simple technique with my EditText (nothing in java and AnroidManifest.xml is required). Just set your focusable and focusableInTouchMode to false directly on EditText.

 <EditText
        android:id="@+id/text_pin"
        android:layout_width="136dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="5dp"
        android:textAlignment="center"
        android:inputType="numberPassword"
        android:password="true"
        android:textSize="24dp"
        android:focusable="false"
        android:focusableInTouchMode="false"/>

My intent here is to use this edit box in App lock activity where I am asking user to input the PIN and I want to show my custom PIN pad. Tested with minSdk=8 and maxSdk=23 on Android Studio 2.1

Answer 6

private InputMethodManager imm;

...


editText.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        v.onTouchEvent(event);
        hideDefaultKeyboard(v);
        return true;
    }
});

private void hideDefaultKeyboard(View et) {
  getMethodManager().hideSoftInputFromWindow(et.getWindowToken(), 0);
}

private InputMethodManager getMethodManager() {
        if (this.imm == null) {
            this.imm = (InputMethodManager)  getContext().getSystemService(android.content.Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        }
  return this.imm;
}
