I have a cordova android app.
I'm trying to prevent native android keyboard to show when user clicks on html input, or input gets focus programmatically.
It there for android something like:
keyboard.addEventListener('will-show',
functon(event){
event.disableKeyboardShow();
});
Thanks in advance!
I don't know if there is an event like you pointed. But you can prevent keyboard to showup automatically by doing this:
1) Insert on your onCreate():
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) this.getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
View view = this.getCurrentFocus();
if (view == null) {
view = new View(this);
}
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
2) Then you assure your EditText can get focus when needed by adding android:focusable="true" and android:focusableInTouchMode="true" elements in the parent layout of EditText like this:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/linearLayout" android:focusable="true" android:focusableInTouchMode="true">
If you don't want your EditText to get focus anyway, put false at elements on step 2 and insert another one: android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"
My layout requires itself to adapt to the available space when the keyboard appears, so I have this set in my Manifest:
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustResize"
How does WindowSoftInputMode work, though? How does it choose what to adjust (padding, margins, image size, etc.)?
Is it possible to not resize a specific view (like an ImageView) and instead take away more padding? Can I choose what it resizes (besides just adjustResize and adjustPan)?
Completely impractical to handle resizing UI elements yourself and I understand it is discouraged. You can use the below code to explicitly handle soft input:
public void showSoftKeyboard(View view) {
if (view.requestFocus()) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)
getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(view, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
}
}
Check out THIS on how to handle the keyboard...
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.

I have a numberpicker with a plus and minus button and a edittext.
The user can click on the plus and minus button to increase / decrease or manually input when he clicks on the edittext.
But each time the user clicks a +/- button the text changes and the edittext receives focus.
This means the border changes color and the cursor shows up.
I want to avoid that, how can I do this?
I tried adding clearFocus() to the onTextChanged listener, and this works but the border still changes color for a moment.
In your XML file where you have your editText, you can set the focusable to false:
android:focusable="false"
To show the keyboard manually, use:
InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager)
getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
try{
inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(),
InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED);
}
catch (Exception e)
{}
And put this on a listener.
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);
}
