How do I hide the keyboard in the activity and prevent it from opening even by clicking an edittext (programmatically)?
I HAVE ALREADY SOLVED:
I used this code here in the onCreate event:
edittext1.setShowSoftInputOnFocus(false);
This will disable the keyboard in edittext without interfering with the picker or cursor.
Hide keyboard in onCreate() method of activity
/**
* Hides the soft keyboard
*/
public void hideSoftKeyboard() {
if(getCurrentFocus()!=null) {
InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
}
}
or simply use this ("android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden") in AndroidManifest.xml file
<activity
android:name="com.example.stockquote.StockInfoActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden
android:label="#string/app_name" />
There are two ways to achieve this:
In manifest do the following:
<activity
android:name=".MyActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden"/>
Or in your java code do the following:
View view = this.getCurrentFocus();
if (view != null) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
Please refer to this SO answer for detailed explanation.
I want window of my app to be resized when soft keyboard is launched. I thus added following tag to main activity in manifest.xml file
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
however even at time of app lunch keyboard is displayed and window is resized.
I want that at launch atleast keyboard not to be displayed automatically and window to be resized. only when some one is type should the window resizing should occur.
any guidance
just to further add I have editText which gets the control at time of launch. before adding android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" , complete screen use to get displayed and when I touched to type was keyboard displayed. I want the same behavior, that is keyboard should not to be displayed by default but displayed and window resized when someone touches to type
You can set the Activity Attribute by adding this to your Manifest File here
Like so, but haven't tried it.
android:windowSoftInputMode
<activity android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustResize" . . . >
How the main window of the activity interacts with the window containing the on-screen soft keyboard.
You can also refer here
Do below changes to your code
To hide the keyboard on activity launch add below code
public void hideSoftKeyboard() {
if(getCurrentFocus()!=null) {
InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
}
}
To show keyboard when edittext gets focused, use below code
public void showSoftKeyboard(View view) {
InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
view.requestFocus();
inputMethodManager.showSoftInput(view, 0);
}
Call hideSoftKeyboard() in your onCreate method.
Once edittext gets focused use below code.
EditText editText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText);
editText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View view, boolean b) {
//Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Focused",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE); // Resizing window programatically
showSoftKeyboard(view);
}
});
I have a Edit Text , and after user click on button or on soft keyboard input , i do some action in background and restart this activity again . At first time the focus is on EditText , but after redirecting the focus is lost .
One more thing , I am using a bluetooth device to enter text in the EditText area .
In the starting of activity , i am getting the editText button and calling
edittext.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
edittext.requestFocus();
also after calling action , i am again requesting focus .
In manifest i am using :
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysVisible"
I have also tried to show keyboard always :
InputMethodManager mgr = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
mgr.showSoftInput(mLastNameET, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
I have tried many things , please suggest how can i make it work ?
There are two ways to do this,
First is to declare EditText.request focus() in on resume(), or second one is declare <request focus /> tag between <EditText> <request focus/> <\EditText>
You can also use this thing:
editText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
editText.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(editText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
}
});
}
});
editText.requestFocus();
I had similar problem and it is fixed with adding android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" in Manifest like below.
I hope it work for you too.
<activity
android:name=".MyActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan">
</activity>
I have an Edittext with android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible" in Manifest. Now the keyboard will be shown when I start the activity. How to hide it? I cannot use android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden because when keyboard is visible then minimize the app and resume it the keyboard should be visible.
I tried with
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
but it did not work.
In the AndroidManifest.xml:
<activity android:name="com.your.package.ActivityName"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" />
or try
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN);
Please check this also
Use the following functions to show/hide the keyboard:
/**
* Hides the soft keyboard
*/
public void hideSoftKeyboard() {
if(getCurrentFocus()!=null) {
InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
}
}
/**
* Shows the soft keyboard
*/
public void showSoftKeyboard(View view) {
InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
view.requestFocus();
inputMethodManager.showSoftInput(view, 0);
}
Just add two attributes to the parent view of editText.
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
Put this in the manifest inside the Activity tag
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"
Try this:
<activity
...
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustResize"
...
>
Look at this one for more details.
To hide the softkeyboard at the time of New Activity start or onCreate(),onStart() etc. you can use the code below:
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
Using AndroidManifest.xml
<activity android:name=".YourActivityName"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"
/>
Using Java
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN);
using the above solution keyboard hide but edittext from taking focus when activiy is created, but grab it when you touch them using:
add in your EditText
<EditText
android:focusable="false" />
also add listener of your EditText
youredittext.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
v.setFocusable(true);
v.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
return false;
}});
Add the following text to your xml file.
<!--Dummy layout that gain focus -->
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:orientation="vertical" >
</LinearLayout>
If you don't want to use xml, make a Kotlin Extension to hide keyboard
// In onResume, call this
myView.hideKeyboard()
fun View.hideKeyboard() {
val inputMethodManager = context.getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager
inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(windowToken, 0)
}
Alternatives based on use case:
fun Fragment.hideKeyboard() {
view?.let { activity?.hideKeyboard(it) }
}
fun Activity.hideKeyboard() {
// Calls Context.hideKeyboard
hideKeyboard(currentFocus ?: View(this))
}
fun Context.hideKeyboard(view: View) {
view.hideKeyboard()
}
How to show soft keyboard
fun Context.showKeyboard() { // Or View.showKeyboard()
val inputMethodManager = context.getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager
inputMethodManager.toggleSoftInput(SHOW_FORCED, HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY)
}
Simpler method when simultaneously requesting focus on an edittext
myEdittext.focus()
fun View.focus() {
requestFocus()
showKeyboard()
}
Bonus simplification:
Remove requirement for ever using getSystemService: Splitties Library
// Simplifies above solution to just
inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(windowToken, 0)
I hope this will work, I tried a lot of methods but this one worked for me in fragments. just put this line in onCreateview/init.
getActivity().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(
WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
add in your activity in manifasts
this property
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"
Put this code your java file and pass the argument for object on edittext,
private void setHideSoftKeyboard(EditText editText){
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(editText.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
To hide the softkeyboard at the time of New Activity start or onCreate(),onStart() method etc. use the code below:
getActivity().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.
LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN);
To hide softkeyboard at the time of Button is click in activity:
View view = this.getCurrentFocus();
if (view != null) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
assert imm != null;
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
Use SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN instead of SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN
this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
Above answers are also correct. I just want to give a brief that there's two ways to hide the keyboard when starting the activity, from manifest.xml.
eg:
<activity
..........
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"
..........
/>
The above way always hide it when entering the activity.
or
<activity
..........
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateUnchanged"
..........
/>
This one says don't change it (e.g. don't show it if it isn't already shown, but if it was open when entering the activity, leave it open).
You can set config on AndroidManifest.xml
Example:
<activity
android:name="Activity"
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"
android:theme="#*android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar"
android:launchMode="singleTop"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"/>
Use the following code to Hide the softkeyboard first time when you start the Activity
getActivity().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.
LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN);
This is what I did:
yourEditText.setCursorVisible(false); //This code is used when you do not want the cursor to be visible at startup
yourEditText.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
v.onTouchEvent(event); // handle the event first
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)v.getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
if (imm != null) {
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0); // hide the soft keyboard
yourEditText.setCursorVisible(true); //This is to display cursor when upon onTouch of Edittext
}
return true;
}
});
Try this one also
Ed_Cat_Search = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText_Searc_Categories);
Ed_Cat_Search.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL);
Ed_Cat_Search.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
Ed_Cat_Search.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);
Ed_Cat_Search.onTouchEvent(event); // call native handler
return true; // consume touch even
}
});
If your application is targeting Android API Level 21 or more than there is a default method available.
editTextObj.setShowSoftInputOnFocus(false);
Make sure you have set below code in EditText XML tag.
<EditText
....
android:enabled="true"
android:focusable="true" />
Try this.
First in your searchable xml the fields (name and hint etc) put #string and not literal strings.
Then method onCreateOptionsMenu, it must have a ComponentName object with your package name and your completed class name (with package name) - In case activity which has the SearchView component is the same as the show search results use getComponentName(), as the google android developer says.
I tried a lot of solutions and after much,much work this solution works for me.
Ed_Cat_Search = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText_Searc_Categories);
Ed_Cat_Search.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL);
Ed_Cat_Search.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
Ed_Cat_Search.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);
Ed_Cat_Search.onTouchEvent(event); // call native handler
return true; // consume touch even
}
});
this one worked for me
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN);
it will works
Hi Everyone iam new to Android and stuck in really silly problem in my project i have one EditText which is defined in Header View of a List View whenever users touches the EditText soft keyboard will be displayed. i have something called clear button which clears the EditText After clearing soft keyboard is not displaying in 2.3 devices.Whenever i press lock/power button lock the device and unlock then soft keyboard is displaying
<activity
android:name=".pl.Mobile.AddJobNew"
android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"
android:screenOrientation="landscape"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustResize|adjustPan"
>
Here is My Activity Declaration in Android for android:windowSoftInputMode : 'adjustResize' option working perfectly for Android 2.3 devices but failed in 4.0 devices where soft keyboard overlapping over edit text . option 'adjustPan' is workin good in 4.0 devices but failed in 2.3 devices
Please help me get out of this problem.
Thanks in Advance
Try this in the activity with the edit text:
int currentapiVersion = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
if (currentapiVersion >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH){
// Do something for 4.0 and above versions
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN);
}
else{
// do something for phones running an SDK before 4.0
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE);
}
Also remove,
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustResize|adjustPan"
From your activity in the manifest file.
Build.Version
I think that the problem is that when you click the clear button, the editText looses its focus so the keyboard hides itself.
I would try 2 things to solve it;
after you clean the text, do:
yourEditTextField.requestFocus()
manually control the keyboard visibility:
public void showKeyboard(){
View view = getWindow().getCurrentFocus();
if (view==null)
return;
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(view, InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED);
}
public void hideKeyboard(){
View view = getWindow().getCurrentFocus();
if (view==null)
return;
IBinder binder = view.getWindowToken();
if (binder == null)
return;
// prevent a bug in some keyboards that makes the text hang on the screen
if (view instanceof EditText)
((EditText)view).setText(((EditText)view).getText().toString());
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(binder, InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);
}
I have below line in My AndroidManifest.xml file and it works great. Please try this code. Dont put any extra code. And still if you not get any success then let me know. I will like to help you out.
<activity android:name=".pl.Mobile.AddJobNew" android:screenOrientation="portrait" android:configChanges="keyboard|orientation" android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"/>
Try with above code for your activity.
Try something like that
editext1.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener()
{
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event)
{
if (v instanceof EditText)
{
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);
v.requestFocusFromTouch();
return true;
}
return false;
}
});
If it not work for you try to add
editext1.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener()
{
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus)
{
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
});
Also is good to remove request focus from layout. and maybe set this android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|stateAlwaysHidden" in manifest on activity
