android prevent EditText from requesting focus aut

Question

I have a quite simple Layout with an EditText and a button. The problem is the keyboard appears immediately after the activity is started and the EditText gets the focus. I removed the </requestFocus> from XML and I also don't do that in code. How can I prevent that behavior of EditText so the keyboard only appears after the used taps the editText?

Answer 1

From my POV a more elegant solution is:

1. In XML add these lines to the main layout:

   <LinearLayout
       android:id="@+id/mainLayout"
       android:focusable="true"
       android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
       ...
       .../>
   

2. And In Java in onCreate():

     LinearLayout mainLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.mainLayout);
     mainLayout.requestFocus();
   

Answer 2

in your manifiest.xml write the below code in your activity

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustNothing" 

Answer 3

In your manifest.xml file, under the activity tag, place this:

android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"

Answer 4
