EditText requestFocus method shows both soft keyboard and custom keyboard in android - android

I am using custom keyboard for some edittext fields. when I call requestFocus() in onCreate it also shows soft(default) keyboard. whereas I only need to show custom keyboard. If i hide soft keyboard programatically and try to enter field in edit text using custom keyboard than app crashes.

Before calling setContentView() set blow code.
Keypad.this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);

Give EditText focus without showing the soft input

I have an EditText configured in the following way because I have a custom keyboard to display:
binding.editText.showSoftInputOnFocus = false
It works alright but I want to give the focus to the field when I load the screen, so I'm doing the following in my onStart method:
binding.editText.requestFocus()
When I do this the default keyboard unfortunately shows and hide my custom keyboard.
How to give the focus to the EditText without showing the soft input?

How to view custom softkeyboard while tap on EditText in android?

I want to show softkeyboard after tapping on EditText in my custom Softkeyboard.
I have made one custom keyboard in which I've added one key.
This key will navigate you to a Conversion View which contains an EditText.
So after tapping on that EditText I want to open my own custom softkeyboard.
Please reply me as soon as possible.
You have two options: create a soft keyboard using the InputMethodService--that is, create a true soft keyboard that will be listed under the keyboard listing in the device's settings that the user can turn on and use at any time. That can be a lot of work.
You're other option is to mock the soft keyboard by creating a custom view, of which you handle input and toggle the visibility of explicitly in your app; blocking the native soft keyboard from showing (which you can do per activity via your manifest or in code).

Android: Show dialog in front of soft keyboard

I have an EditText and an ImageButton beside it. When I click the EditText the soft keyboard shows up. Fine. When I click the ImageButton a custom dialog shows up and the soft keyboard gets automatically hidden. I want the keyboard to stay open though. How can I achieve this?
Found the solution. I used the common Dialog class to display my dialog. Using AlertDialog instead did the trick.

How to make EditText shows like Instagram after soft keyboard comes out?

How to make EditText shows like Instagram after soft keyboard comes out when I click the EditText?It just like being pushed up.Not like google+ or other apps,these are like appearping after disappearing.
I tried "windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" ,and if the EditText is not having background it's good.But if the EditText has some background,the soft keyboard will cover some part of the editText.

Try this..

Set android focus on touch?

I have this issue: in my app, when user taps on EditText bar, keyboard pops up. After that, it is impossible to get rid of keyboard. When back button is pressed, whole application just turn off.
How can I make sure, that when user taps on some other object (not EditText), keyboard will be removed? Or at least, how to make it possible to hide keyboard by tapping back button?
Thanks.
in xml for EditText this will make keyboard dismiss when press enter on keyboard
android:imeOptions="actionDone"
You can hide the keyboard simple by overriding onBackPressed in your Activity and using the following code:
InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager)getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(anyView.getWindowToken(), 0);
Note that anyView can be any view that is attached to your current window.
You can see it working in my app called Magic Annotator. See method hideSoftKeyboard()
