When I'm using "EditText" I have the virtual keyboard.
Pressing first time "Back" button hides the keyboard. Second press invokes "onBackPressed" callback in my activity. OK, but...
I have no idea how to hook the very first press. I need to process input data as soon as the virtual keyboard dismissed.
Any ideas are welcome.
Thanks.
You can override when the keyboard disappears using this method:
public boolean onKeyPreIme(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK &&
event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_UP) {
// Do your thing here
return false;
}
return super.dispatchKeyEvent(event);
}
Taken from my other answer # : Android: Error popup on EditText doesn't move down when keyboard goes away
Custom Back Button:-
final RelativeLayout rrBack = (RelativeLayout) mCustomView.findViewById(R.id.rr_back);
rrBack.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
MyApplication.getInstance().getRequestQueue().cancelAll(FEED_DETAIL_TAG_REQUEST);
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(rrBack.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
});

I have a chat feature in my application. everything is working fine. The problem i am facing is that i have an edittext and a button for sending the text. Now when i press the send button the keyboard comes down which i don't want.
Because it is very annoying for the user to open the keyboard after sending every message. Does anyone have any solution for this. it is a very silly issue but it is quite important for me. and is there any change in xml or manifest which we can make which will help solve this problem
Try the below code:
#Override
public boolean onKeyPreIme(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
// User has pressed Back key. So hide the keyboard
InputMethodManager mgr = (InputMethodManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
mgr.hideSoftInputFromWindow(this.getWindowToken(), 0);
// TODO: Hide your view as you do it in your activity
} else if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MENU) {
// Eat the event
return true;
}
return false;
}
I was faced with the same thing in one of my project's. Try doing this to show keyboard
private void showKeyboard(){
InputMethodManager imgr = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imgr.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY);
yourEditText.requestFocus();
}
This makes the keyboard go down only when back is pressed.
According to this answer.
EditText txtEdit = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txtEdit);
txtEdit.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() {
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) {
// your additional processing...
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
});
Let me know if it solves your problem.
if you return true from your onEditorAction method, action is not going to be handled again. In this case you can return true to not hide keyboard when action is EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE.
Hope it will help !
I want to create 1 edit text with the below condition:
- User can not focus on this control in normal.
- When user click on this control, soft-keyborad is displayed and user can input into this control
- When user press enter on this soft-keyborad or back on device, it is closed and back to normal view with control is not focus.
I tried the below code but not work :(
When starting, control is not focus: ok
When click on control, at the first click, control is focus but not display soft-keyborad
In the second click, display soft-keyborad
When press enter button in soft-keyborad: back to screen with control is not focus: OK
When press back button device, back to screen with control is still focus : not ok
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
final EditText txtSearch = (EditText)this.findViewById(R.id.p60004_txt_search_str);
txtSearch.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
txtSearch.setFocusable(true);//(false);
txtSearch.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
txtSearch.requestFocus();
}
});
txtSearch.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {
#Override
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if ((event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN) &&
(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER))
{
String strSearch = txtSearch.getText().toString();
if (strSearch != null && strSearch != ""){
searchFriend(UserAPIConstants.FRIEND_SEARCH_TYPE_SC, strSearch);
}
hideSoftKeyboard(v);
txtSearch.setFocusable(false);
txtSearch.setFocusableInTouchMode(false);
}
return false;
}
});
public void hideSoftKeyboard (View view) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)this.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
In your xml which has edittext put these values for the layout node
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
and dont put any focusable or focusable in touch mode attributes for your edittext..
Then in your code in onKey method remove thse lines..
txtSearch.setFocusable(false);
txtSearch.setFocusableInTouchMode(false);
and put
txtSearch.clearFocus();
And You should override this method
onBackPressed()
like this..
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
txtSearch.clearFocus();
//hide the soft keyboard..
}
try commenting
hidekeyboard(v);
and the changes that Alex Lockwood suggested.
use this in onClick()
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(yourEditText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
to close the keypad use
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(yourEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);
I have an activity where there is an EditText and on enter key search results are shown, so what I simply want to do is to close the keyboard when search results are about to show to prevent the user from having to do it. However if the user wants to refine his search the keyboard should open back up if he taps into the EditText again.
This has been more difficult than I imagined, I've been search and tried a few things most don't even close the keyboard on my HTC, one method where the InputType is set to INPUT_NULL closes the keyboard but it doesn't open afterwards.
Any suggestions on how to do this?
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String query) {
// Your search methods
searchView.clearFocus();
return true;
}
Straight to the point and clean.
The right way to do this:
set imeOptions to "actionSearch"
initialize listeners for input and search button(if provided)
searchEditText.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() {
#Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_SEARCH) {
performSearch();
return true;
}
return false;
}
});
view.findViewById(R.id.bigSearchBar_button).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
performSearch();
}
});
Hide keyboard when user clicks search. To ensure that keyboard won't show when user minimizes and restores Activity you have to remove focus from EditText
private void performSearch() {
searchEditText.clearFocus();
InputMethodManager in = (InputMethodManager)getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
in.hideSoftInputFromWindow(searchEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);
... perform search ...
}
I belive this code snippet will close the keyboard:
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(myEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);
if not try this one:
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
let me know if these work
After a user inputs into an editbox with the keypad, I want the keypad to hide so I can see the results near the bottom of the screen. I've tried this in my onCreate method but it doesn't work. What am I missing?
InputMethodManager imm =
(InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(myEditTextbox.getWindowToken(), 0);
You can force hide the keyboard like so:
Window window = getWindow();
window.setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
I would get the window in your onCreate method and in the onFocusChanged() method or OnKeyListener() hide the keyboard.
Have you set up a Key Listener?
You don't really state how you know the user is done entering the text so I'll assume they are pressing the enter button on the soft keyboard. Here is how I am handling that type of scenario. I am using this both in a Dialog and an Activity with success. Hope it helps.
this.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener()
{
/**
* This listens for the user to press the enter button on
* the keyboard and then hides the virtual keyboard
*/
#Override
public boolean onKey(DialogInterface dialog, int keyCode, KeyEvent event)
{
// If the event is a key-down event on the "enter" button
if ( (event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN ) &&
(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER) )
{
// hide virtual keyboard
InputMethodManager imm =
(InputMethodManager)getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(sessionTag.getWindowToken(), 0);
return true;
}
return false;
}
});
It depends on what currently has focus...if its another editText that takes focus then this might be bringing up the keypad...try to explicitly give focus to a different element...
You can extend EditText class and use your code in onFocusChanged() method when focused argument is false.
Follow this answer. call the method after you setContentView in your activity.

From the android tutorial :
pass_text.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
// If the event is a key-down event on the "enter" button
if ((event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
&& (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER)) {
// Perform action on key press
return true;
}
return false;
}
});
}
when click at EditText, it has a keyboard appear on the frame. I want to know after Enter.
How to make keyboard out from frame except click Back.
Thank you
Try the following
For Activity:
InputMethodManager mgr = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
mgr.hideSoftInputFromWindow(curEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);
In case of Fragment :
InputMethodManager mgr = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
mgr.hideSoftInputFromWindow(mEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);
give the EditText box you have the attribute android:imeOptions="actionDone"
this will change the Enter button to a Done button that will close the keyboard.
A working approach to get rid of the soft keyboard is to disable and then enable the TextEdit field in the Return-key event, button-press event or whatever. For example:
....
pass_text.setEnabled(false);
pass_text.setEnabled(true);
....
I think we can simply add this attribute to our EditText:
android:inputType="text"
This will automatically force the text to be on a single line and therefore when we click Enter, the keyboard disappears.
