I am using a FrameLayout to show an EditText and a ListView (with checkboxes) alternately. When showing an EditText, I would like the soft keyboard to be shown. And when showing the ListView, I would like the soft keyboard to be hidden. Now usually a focus is needed in order to hide the soft keyboard. When my ListView gets shown, then getCurrentFocus() returns null. Is there a way to hide the soft keyboard, without having a focus?
I am showing the soft keyboard like that:
public static void requestFocusAndMoveCursorToTheEndAndShowKeyboard(final EditText editTextParam, final Activity activityParam) {
if (editTextParam == null) {
return;
}
if (editTextParam.requestFocus()) {
editTextParam.setSelection(editTextParam.getText().length()); // move Cursor to the end of the EditText
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) activityParam.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY);
}
}
And I am trying to hide the soft keyboard like that:
public static void hideSoftInputKeyboardFromWindow(Activity activityParam) {
if (activityParam == null) {
return;
}
View view = activityParam.getCurrentFocus();
if (view != null) {
InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) activityParam.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);
}
}
Make use of .clearFocus(); on edittext when you don't want a focus on it.
In your AndroidMenifest.xml add this:
<activity android:name="com.your.package.ActivityName"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" />
Try this:
Write following method to youractivity or to your utility class
/**
* Hide soft keypad
*
*/
public static void hideKeyboard(Activity activity, View v) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) activity.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
In your hideSoftInputKeyboardFromWindow method, try:
inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
instead of
inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);
Edit: ok same answer as Dorami
How do you show them alternately? Using different fragments? Or do you simply inflate different layouts? Provide more details with your complete code
Thank you for your answers. Finally I got it solved using a View.OnFocusChangeListener for the EditText, like described here:

I have a edittext in my android app where I can put a person birthdate. When I click on it a dialog fragment appears, but I have to click two times. After first click there is an keyboard and I don't want it.
I know that I can use button instead, but i prefer editext, because it looks better :)
How can I change it? Can I open diagram in first edittext click? Thanks in advance!
You can make your EditText not focusable by adding android:focusable="false" in XML declaration and then use simple onClickListener on the EditText.
Else, you can also use the following method to hide the keyboard:
public void hideSoftKeyBoard(Activity activity) {
// Check if no view has focus:
View view = activity.getCurrentFocus();
if (view != null) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) activity.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
}
This can be invoked as follows:
hideSoftKeyBoard(this) from an activity or hideSoftKeyBoard(getActivity()) from a fragment.
Hope this helps!
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 am using Search Widget to implement search interface in my app in action bar. As soon as the activity starts the keyboard pops up even if I have not interacted with the search widget. So for that I added the attribute in the activity tag in manifest file windowSoftInputMode giving value either stateHidden or stateAlwaysHidden but this did not worked. So I tried to do it programmatically using the hideSoftInputFromWindow method but this also did not worked.
What does this causes to pop up the keyboard even after the attributes are set not to show and how to solve this issue? Please help!
Try to Use this functions to show OR 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 set focus as false at first time when that screen loaded. By default when screen loaded, the focus goes to first edittext and Keyboard appears.set like this
view.setFocusable(false);
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
and on clickListener of that view make that view as focused. by using
view.requestFocus();
You can try to set the focus on any other view of the activity like this:
view.requestFocus();
I spotted the problem and solved the issue. I was using android.widget.SearchView and changed it to android.support.v7.widget.SearchView, after which I didn't even need to use windowSoftInputMode in the manifest or the hideSoftInputFromWindow() method. Please note!
I have multiple edit text and button on screen, on every button click there are some validation if validation is successful then i have to hide keyboard. I have tried so many code but nothing work.
Currently i am using,
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) cntx.getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS, 0);
This is toggle, it opens if keyboard is hidden, but i wants to hide keyboard whether it is open or not.
Make one function like this, and Call from anywhere by passing context
like this :
public static void hideKeyBoard_WithView(Context context) {
// Check if no view has focus:
View view = ((Activity) context).getCurrentFocus();
if (view != null) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
}
Hope it will help you ! :) just try !
edittext.setFocusable(true);
edittext.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
//try using this.. make the parameter as false when u dont required the keyboard & write the onclick method on edit text & make parameters true to get the focus again
Get current focussed view and using that view window token hide your keyboard.
View view = this.getCurrentFocus(); // get current focussed edittext
if (view != null) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
I want to disable keyboard pop up in my activity. There will not be any keboard in the actvity. but hardware keyboard must work.how to do this? hardware buttons must work
Just try below code.
InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(editView.getWindowToken(), 0);
Use this in your manifest:
<activity android:name=".SampleActivity" android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden"/>
Managing soft keyboard in android is not that easy, although you can hide keyboard programatically.
private void hideKeyboard() {
//This will get any view in focus.
View view = this.getCurrentFocus();
if (view != null) {
InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) this.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);
}
}
note that Hardware Keyboard will work.
