Prevent Softkeyboard from opening on EditText Focus

Prevent Softkeyboard from opening on EditText Focus - android

I need to prevent softkeyboard from showing up when Edit Text gains focus or if user taps on the edit text because user has to use a barcode scanner as an input method. But I need is open the keyboard when user clicks/taps a specific button.
I have tried focusableInTouchMode property and it works fine in preventing the softkeyboard from popping but it won't let the edit text gain focus.
Any hint on how to achieve this?

myEditText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL);
myEditText.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// showMyDialog();
}
});
myEditText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
if (hasFocus) {
// showMyDialog();
}
}
});
Try this.... Just return null or anything on onclicklistner..
Njoy.. :)
And m using it so don't tell me its not working.. LOL..
I have one condition that if user clicks on edittext then it ll pops DatePicker Dialog and its working.
So njoy dude...: ;)

you can hide the keyboard using this code
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);

You should use stateAlwaysHidded. Either in runtime as in the first answer, or directly in your project Manifest:
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden"
This will prevent keyboard from appearing during onCreate/onResume.
To prevent keyboard appearing after clicking EditText, you can place some blank view with transparent backround right on top of your EditText:
<View
android:id="#+id/view"
android:layout_width="editTextWidth"
android:layout_height="editTextWidth"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:clickable="true"/>
The key attribute here is android:clickable="true". It will prevent from gaining focus on click (actually users will click on this blank view, not EditText).
Then, when user clicks special button you've mentioned, you just remove this blank view and call editText.requestFocus()

How can I expand an EditText when it is not focused?

I'm doing a message view like whats app and I want my EditText in the bottom to have the "send" button/icon if it's focused and if it's not, then hide/delete that button and expand the edit text. I don't know how to do the the expand and delete thing in run time. If anyone has some clue I would be really thankful.

Use OnFocusListener to trigger your desired events whenever focus of EditText changes.
Use setVisibility to hide and show your Button, and change width of EditText via getLayoutParams().width
m_editText.setOnFocusChangeListener((v, hasFocus) -> {
if (hasFocus) {
m_button.setVisibility(View.GONE);
m_editText.getLayoutParams().width=400;
} else {
m_button.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
m_editText.getLayoutParams().width=200;
}
});
You can also turn your size to dp with:
TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, YOUR_SIZE_HERE, getApplication().getResources().getDisplayMetrics());

Android how to clear focus of edit text on closing keyboard

I am trying to do two diffrent animate on gaining focus and on keyboard go down. I am trying to detect focus with this
editText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
if(hasFocus) animateUp();
else animateDown();
}
});
The problem is when keyboard is closed edit text is still being focused and it cant animate the second one. How can I clear the focus after keyboard closed ?

use
setCursorVisible(boolean)
or use xml property for edittext
android:cursorVisible
to remove focus when keyboard is hidden
or use imeOptions
android:imeOptions="actionGo"

Software keyboard resizes background image

I have a layout like below :
<ScrollView ...>
<LinearLayout...>
<EditText
..../>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
As soon the fragment loads we set the focus of the EditText so that it displays Keyboard.
We have also set the background :
mParent = inflater.inflate(R.layout.sample_layout, container, false);
mParent.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.sample_bg);
The issue is that when the keyboard is shown the background resizes or the keyboard pushes the background image up.
mEdTxt.requestFocus();
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(mEdTxt, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
mEdTxt.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
if (hasFocus) {
getActivity().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE);
}
}
});
We have tried :
getActivity().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN);
I have seen many posts revelant to this but didnt help me.
EDIT : Question is not Duplicate
How ?
getActivity().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN);
The above code will disable the scroller.
We need the keyboard to be shown also the scroller to be present so that the user can scroll the page when the keyboard is shown.
I hope its clear.

Sounds like you have in the Activity node in your Manifest:
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
If you don't want it to resize, remove this or change it to something different.

requestFocus doesn't work properly for EditText

A lot of time was spent to solve the problem, and it looks easy, but I'm really tired and couldn't find the solution.
I have an Activity, activity has 4 EditText components, 2 of them has popup menu (AlertDialog) which contain the list, next one - is disabled for edit, and last one - is editable, and should show the soft keyboard, when user is tapping on it.
Also, my root LinearLayout has LinearLayout which contain inside RelativeLayout. The last one is need for AdvBanner. Last LinearLayout(RelativeLayout) is aligned to the bottom of root layout.
The part of XML that describes it:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:focusable="false"
android:focusableInTouchMode="false"
android:gravity="bottom">
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/AdvLayoutReserveArea"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:background="#FFFFFF"
android:focusable="false"
android:focusableInTouchMode="false"
android:gravity="bottom" />
</LinearLayout>
When activity is start, editable EditText has focus with GREEN border and cursor is blinking. After few seconds left, the AdvBanner is loaded and shown. When it happens, editable EditText lost focus.. from this moment, my life be like a nightmare.
Let's look step by step.
Problem 1.
If in THIS MOMENT (when Adv loaded and appears) user is editing an EditText field via the soft keyboard, focus is lost, border take a GRAY color, and if user continue to typing a text is have no result - symbols are not printed (CURSOR in EditText is too lost).
I THINK any user will be annoyed - when you typing text, and cursor is inactive, because in background some adv is loaded and it take focus for self.
To solve this, in method when Adv is loaded (is shown) I try to back focus manually to EditText by requestFocus method.
public void onAdLoaded()
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
// add app specific code for this event here...
// called when an ad is successfully displayed on device
CountEdit1.requestFocus();
}
Yes, the cursor is returned to EditText field, and if soft keyboard is active, user can still typing text, but border of EditText field stay GRAY...
NOTE: actually I'm not sure about the difference between GREEN and GRAY border of focused EditText.. GREEN is usually when user is tapping on it, and GRAY, probably, when we want to request a focus manually (using requestFocus() etc)
Problem 2. (As result of solvation Problem #1).
After soft keyboard was closed, if user tap on editable EditText field, it take focus and cursor appears inside, but no reaction for showing soft keyboard again! Tapping of it do not show soft keyboard, but looks like the edit field in copy mode - when user can select a text and cut/copy it to clipboard.
My goal is easy for a first look. I just want to SAVE the cursor and focus to editable EditText field (CountEdit1) while soft keyboard is shown and user typing some text.
And normal reaction when user tapping EditText - as usually, just show me the soft keyboard!
I read all issues here, I combined different methods (clearFocus, requestFocusFromTouch etc), just not enough of time and space to describe all that I tried to do to solve this. The main problems are described above.
Hope for help and solving the problem...
Thanks in advance..

The goal is solved, the workaround is an easier than I thought. Problem #2 is fixed by using onClick () method. Sufficient condition for appearing of soft keyboard that use of both clearFocus() and requestFocus() methods.
CountEdit1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
CountEdit1.clearFocus();
CountEdit1.requestFocus();
}
});
The soft keyboard appears when user is tapping on the EditText field.
Fixed.

Works for me:
InputMethodManager mgr = (InputMethodManager) context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
editField.requestFocus();
mgr.showSoftInput(editField, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);

userInput.post(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
userIdInput.requestFocus();
}
});
Have a go at this and tell if your problem is still unsolved.

You should request focus after view is created in fragment or activity:
#Override
public void onViewCreated(View view, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
CountEdit1.requestFocus();
}

try this:
public void onAdLoaded()
{
final Handler handler = new Handler();
handler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
CountEdit1.requestFocus();
InputMethodManager mgr = (InputMethodManager) base.getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
mgr.showSoftInput(CountEdit1, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
CountEdit1.setSelection(CountEdit1.getText().length());
}
},0);
}

Removing autofocus from EditText and regaining focus ?

I have an EditText and a set of Buttons in my layout.
To remove autofocus from EditText i am using a dummy LinearLayout as told in some answers at this site.
I want the edit text to get focus on button press and the virtual keyboard being shown.
but on 1st button press the edit text gets focus but virtual keyboard is shown only after button is pressed again.well the problem is bit different but any idea? This is what i m doing on button click:
b.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
mgr.showSoftInput(main_edt,InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED);
main_edt.requestFocus();
}
});
This is the dummy linear layout:
<LinearLayout
android:focusable="true"
android:id="#+id/dummyll"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:layout_width="0px"
android:layout_height="0px" />
If i dont write this dummy linear layout or make the focusable tags as false the keyboard shows on 1st click only.

Let's try to set the below properties in your xml itself for EditText
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:cursorVisible="false".
I hope it may solve your problem,if you suppose want to hide the softkeypad itself at launching activity means use the below code in your activity
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);

Add attribute android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" to the activity in your manifest. This way, the soft keyboard will no be shown, when you start the activity.
