i dont want to open keyboard untill i click on editText.
can any one guide me what should i do?
any help would be appriciated.
You can use the following line of code to make sure the keyboard doesn't pop up when the activity starts and only pops up when a user clicks into an EditText
Place it in the onCreate method of your activity
this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
EditText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL);
You can also pass the same thing in AndroidMenifest file for that particular activity like:
<activity
android:name="Activity"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" >
</activity>
This will also work for you :)

I have a Recyclerview and one of the items has an edittext , but everytime i clcik on field to start typing the Soft Keyboard opens then closes right away. Has anyone experienced this before ?
Maybe a little too late but I've just had this issue. I solved by adding android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan" to YourActivity in AndroidManifest.xml, like:
<activity android:name=".YourActivity" android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan"/>
I have a button in an activity that starts a FilePickerActivity. Everything works as expected except for the soft keyboard that appears right when the activity starts. I've already tried using the following code line but I can't use it INSIDE the FilePickerActivity because I can't modify it: getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN);
Is there an extra that I can put in the intent or something to tell that FilePickerActivity to NOT open the soft keyboard on start?
Thanks in advance!
Add this line in your activity tag in manifest:
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden"
use android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" in manifest activity tag
The keyboard pops up wherever there's an EditText item. I wan't to disable this popup from occurring automatically and only want the keyboard to appear when the user manually sets focus on the EditText field.
I have added the following in my Manifest file but it doesn't appear to work:
<activity android:name=".AccountActivity" android:label="yourtime" android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize|stateHidden"></activity>
As I already wrote in the comment use the getWindow() method of your host-activity to set the SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN flag. There is no need to invoke anything on an EditText when you want to disable the up-popping keyboard generally in this specific activity.
You can also set this in the manifest file. For each activity, add the following attribute.
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"
In my application I have an activity that has an edittext in it, when the activity launches the edit text automatically is given a selected state and the keyboard appears immediately, the problem here is when this happens other parts of the activity the user sees become hidden, what I would like is that when the activity starts there is no focus on the edittext so that user can view other elements on the page and then decide if they would like to select the edittext and launch the keyboard, any help would go a long way thanks!
use android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" in your manifest.xml file as
<activity android:name=".YourActivity" android:label="" android:theme="#android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar" android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"/>
hope this help
I figured it out, you actually have to go into the manifest file and place android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" in the activity tag for the activity you dont want the keyboard to automatically show up on, took some extensive searching but found it!
In my application I have a autocomplete in first activity and some edittext in second activity.
When I run my code in emulator it works fine and I am not seeing any virtual keyboard on screen when program is excecuted.
But when I deploy it in device when the application loads, onfocus is directly on autocomplete and a keyboard pops out, and also when I navigate from first activity to second activity onfocus is on first edittext and keyboard pops out.
I want to disable this onfocus on all the page. how to do that ?
Take a look at this question:
Stop EditText from gaining focus at Activity startup?
That worked for me... I just put this line in the activity definition on Manifest.
<activity
...
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" >
</activity>
