Change keyboard's text pad with number pad

I have EditText and input type is textNoSuggestions.
<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="16dp"
android:layout_marginRight="16dp"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/firstName"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:ems="10"
android:hint="Name"
android:inputType="textNoSuggestions" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
Also i have one button and in button onclick method i try to change keyboard's input type.This is a source
final Button changeKeyboard = (Button) dialog.findViewById(R.id.change_keyboard);
changeKeyboard.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
firsName.setRawInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER);
}
});
Is it a possible to change keyboards' input type in button click when keyboard is showing?
How i can solve my problem thanks everyone

set is setTransformationMethod(), not setInputType(). So something like:
firstName.setTransformationMethod(numberTransformationMethod.getInstance());

On your code, change:
firsName.setRawInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER);
to this (firstName with "t", the name on your xml):
firstName.setRawInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER);
Also, you positively can change your keyboard calling setInputType, like this: firstName.setInputType(x), where x is an int and can be 1 (alfanumeric); 2 (numeric) or 3 (phone like).
EDIT:
You can hide your keyboard calling this on your activity:
public static void hideKeyboard(Activity activity) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) activity.getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
//Find the currently focused view, so we can grab the correct window token from it.
View view = activity.getCurrentFocus();
//If no view currently has focus, create a new one, just so we can grab a window token from it
if (view == null) {
view = new View(activity);
}
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
}

firsName.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_NUMBER);

Soft keyboard not hidden when Done clicked in AutocompleteTextView

I have several EditText in my app, and when the "Done" key is clicked the soft keyboard is hidden. This does not happen with AutocompleteTextView.
Any idea why? Is there anything more to do to get the same behaviour with AutocompleteTextView?
<AutoCompleteTextView
android:id="#+id/autoCompleteTextView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:layout_below="#id/search_zip"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/submit"
android:paddingLeft="10dp"
android:hint="#string/city_or_zip"
android:background="#drawable/bt_grey"
android:inputType="text"/>

android:imeOptions="actionDone"
or in java code:
InputMethodManager in = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(activity.getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);

In my case setOnEditorActionListener was issue. So I removed below code :
searchEditText?.setOnEditorActionListener { v, actionId, event ->
if (EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE == actionId) {
return#setOnEditorActionListener true
} else
return#setOnEditorActionListener false
}

android edittext remove focus after clicking a button

I have an Activity with an EditText and a Button.
When the User clicks on the EditText, the keyboard is shown and he can type in some Text - fine.
But when the user clicks on the Button I want the EditText to be no more in focus i.e. the keyboard hides til the user clicks again on the EditText.
What can I do to 'hide the focus' of the EditText, after the Button is clicked.
Some Code I can add in the OnClick Method of the Button to do that?
EDIT:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edt_SearchDest"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.8"
android:textSize="18sp"
android:hint="Enter your look-up here.." />
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn_SearchDest"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.2"
android:text="Search" />
</LinearLayout>
Best Regards

Put this in your button listener:
InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(),InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);
EDIT
The solution above will break your app if no EditText is focused on. Modify your code like this:
add this method to you class:
public static void hideSoftKeyboard (Activity activity, View view)
{
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)activity.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getApplicationWindowToken(), 0);
}
Then, in your button listener, call the method like this:
hideSoftKeyboard(MainActivity.this, v); // MainActivity is the name of the class and v is the View parameter used in the button listener method onClick.

One workaround is to create a fake view to transfer focus to when you clearFocus in your edittext:
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edt_thief"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
Note that this view is invisible so it doesn't require any space in the layout.
In the control class, you can add a method like the following to trigger this focus transfer:
public void clearFocus(){
yourEdittext.clearFocus();
edtThief.requestFocus();
}
You can then minimize the keyboard once edtThief has focus:
public static void hideKeyboard(final View view) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) view.getContext()
.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
}

I've successfully used the following in the onClick button code:
editText.setEnabled(false);
editText.setEnabled(true);
Somewhat less complex than other methods...

The most elegant solution that I could find is this:
You can save this method in your utility class:
public static void hideSoftKeyboard(Activity activity) {
if (activity == null) return;
if (activity.getCurrentFocus() == null) return;
InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) activity.getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(activity.getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
}
By simply calling hideSoftKeyboad() method it will hide the keyboard but as you can see, the focus will still be present.
In order to remove the focus we will use a simple trick. Right above your input controls, add a dummy view like this:
<View
android:id="#+id/dummy"
android:layout_width="1dp"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true" />
Then, write this line of code at the place where you call the focus-hiding method:
theTextView.clearFocus();
Since the app needs to pass the focus to the next control it will be passed to our invisible view.

How i solved it.
// xml file
<LinearLayout
...
android:id="#+id/linear_layout"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"> // 1. make this focusableInTouchMode...
</LinearLayout>
// Activity file
private LinearLayout mLinearLayout; // 2. parent layout element
private Button mButton;
mLinearLayout = findViewById(R.id.linear_layout);
mButton = findViewById(R.id.button);
mButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
mLinearLayout.requestFocus(); // 3. request focus
}
});
I hope this helps you :)

The top answer definitely works but would add a lot of unnecessary codes in my use case, where there are many buttons and every one of them will need a setOnClickListener code block to remove focus from the EditText.
Instead, my approach is to write a BindingAdapter to perform both focus change and the intended click action.
BindingAdapter
#BindingAdapter("onClickWithFocusChange")
fun View.setOnClickWithFocusChangeListener(clickListener: View.OnClickListener?) {
clickListener?.also {
setOnClickListener(OnClickWithFocusChangeListener(it))
} ?: setOnClickListener(null)
}
class OnClickWithFocusChangeListener(
private val clickListener: View.OnClickListener
) : View.OnClickListener {
override fun onClick(v: View?) {
v?.requestFocusFromTouch()
clickListener.onClick(v)
v?.clearFocus()
}
}
In xml (databinding can now be used instead of programmatically setting every one of the clicklisteners):
<!-- parentview of the EditText -->
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true">
<ImageButton
...
onClickWithFocusChange="#{() -> viewModel.buttonClicked()}"
... />
In activity/fragment:
editText.setOnFocusChangeListener { v, hasFocus ->
if (!hasFocus) {
requireContext().hideKeyboard(v)
v.clearFocus()
}
}
And lastly the extension function:
fun Context.hideKeyboard(view: View) {
val inputMethodManager = getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager
inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.windowToken, 0)
}
Hope this helps some one!

<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/parent"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edt"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.8"
android:textSize="18sp"
android:hint="Enter your look-up here.." />
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn"
android:layout_width="0dip"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.2"
android:text="Search" />
</LinearLayout>
set android:focusableInTouchMode="true" to the parent layout.
on button click transfer the focus to parent.
binding.btn.setOnClickListener {
binding.parent.requestFocus()
// your stuff here
}

private void hideDefaultKeyboard() {
activity.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN);//u have got lot of methods here
}
EDIT:
LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN

mTextView.setEnabled(!mTextView.isEnabled());
mTextView.setEnabled(!mTextView.isEnabled());

Sorry late to the answer, but I hope this will be the right answer, as I fixed it using
try {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) context
.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
if (v != null) {
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(),InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);
}
} catch (Exception ignored) {
}
mEditText.setSelected(false);
mEditText.setFocusable(false);
mEditText.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
Write the following snippet on your button click.

Why not just disable the EditText in the Button code? That should get rid of the keyboard and the focus.
edt_SearchDest.setEnabled(false);

If you are trying to create a button like in a notes app, just do the following:
note.setEnabled(false);
note.setEnabled(true);
This will make a kind of checkmark like button (hides keyboard and removes cursor).

EditText onClick not shows Virtual Keyboard

If i click on my EditText, the virtual keyboard simple not shows up. The cursor is shown, but no keyboard to type on.
I even tried it with manually open but just no works.
Here is my code:
public class CreateNote extends Activity {
EditText titleEdit;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.createnote);
titleEdit = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.titleEdit);
titleEdit.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) CreateNote.this
.getSystemService(Service.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(titleEdit, 0);
}
});
}
}
Snippet of Layout:
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#989898" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/titleEdit"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/edittextdrawale"
android:ems="10"
android:textColor="#fff"
android:textColorHint="#fff" >
<requestFocus />
</EditText>
</FrameLayout>
What could be the reason of playing hide and seek of my virtual keyboard ?
I test on real device, not on emulator.

Try with this, it worked for me.
EditText etHorseName = (EditText) getView().findViewById(R.id.horseName);
etHorseName.clearFocus();
in onCreate() or where you want.

Late answer but here is how to solve it without adding code, just remove this from your XML:
<requestFocus />
No idea why the keyboard does not show up when this is set... It does show up however if you first loose the focus and then click on the edit text. I had the problem on Android 2.3.6 but it worked on 4.1.2, so maybe it was an early bug.

It is just a default behavior , you not suppose to do it manually, remove below part from your code.
titleEdit.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) CreateNote.this
.getSystemService(Service.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(titleEdit, 0);
}
});

Try to hide and show the keyboard with this code:
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) this.getSystemService(Service.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
// To show keyboard
imm.showSoftInput(titleEdit, 0);
// To hide keyboard
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(titleEdit.getWindowToken(), 0);

Trying to get Android keyboard to popup on activity startup

I want the Android Keyboard to pop-up on the startup of my activity. A simple google search shows that you just have to requestFocus which I do in my .xml, but it still doesn't pop up. Am I making any minor mistake that is causing this not to work?
Testing on:
Physical 4.1
Emulator 2.2
layout.xml:
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editText1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:ems="10"
android:hint="To:"
android:inputType="textPersonName" >
<requestFocus />
</EditText>

This works:
myEditText.setOnFocusChangeListener( new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
if (hasFocus) {
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_VISIBLE);
}
}
});

Try this code:
EditText input = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputManager.showSoftInput(input, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
