[android] How to disable keypad popup when on edittext?

In my app the first view of all my screens is an EditText, so every time i go to a screen the onscreen keypad pops up. how can i disable this popingup and enable it when manually clicked on the EditText????

    eT = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.searchAutoCompleteTextView_feed);

    eT.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {

        public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {

            if(hasFocus){
            InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); 
            imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(eT.getWindowToken(), 0);
            }
        }
    });

the third view (EditText) is where the focus is.

Simple,Just Remove "" tag from the xml file

for any textview at your activity (or create fake empty textfiew with android:layout_width="0dp" android:layout_height="0dp" ) and add for this textview next: android:textIsSelectable="true"

In a Android app I was building, I had three EditTexts in a LinearLayout arranged horizontally. I had to prevent the soft keyboard from appearing when the fragment loaded. In addition to setting focusable and focusableInTouchMode to true on the LinearLayout, I had to set descendantFocusability to blocksDescendants. In onCreate, I called requestFocus on the LinearLayout. This prevented the keyboard from appearing when the fragment is created.

Layout -

    <LinearLayout
       android:id="@+id/text_selector_container"
       android:layout_width="match_parent"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"
       android:weightSum="3"
       android:orientation="horizontal"
       android:focusable="true"
       android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
       android:descendantFocusability="blocksDescendants"
       android:background="@color/black">

       <!-- EditText widgets -->

    </LinearLayout>

In onCreate - mTextSelectorContainer.requestFocus();

try it.......i solve this problem using code:-

EditText inputArea;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
inputArea = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.inputArea);

//This line is you answer.Its unable your click ability in this Edit Text
//just write
inputArea.setInputType(0);
}

nothing u can input by default calculator on anything but u can set any string.

try it

It issue can be sorted by using, No need to set editText inputType to any values, just add the below line, editText.setTextIsSelectable(true);

If you are using Xamarin you can add this

Activity[(WindowSoftInputMode = SoftInput.StateAlwaysHidden)]

thereafter you can add this line in OnCreate() method

youredittext.ShowSoftInputOnFocus = false;

If the targeted device does not support the above code, you can use the code below in EditText click event

InputMethodManager Imm = (InputMethodManager)this.GetSystemService(Context.InputMethodService);
Imm.HideSoftInputFromWindow(youredittext.WindowToken, HideSoftInputFlags.None);

Just need to add property android:focusable="false" in particular EditText in the layout xml. Then you can write click listner for EditText without keypad popup.

Declare the global variable for InputMethodManager:

 private InputMethodManager im ;

Under onCreate() define it:

 im = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
 im.hideSoftInputFromWindow(youredittext.getWindowToken(), 0);

Set the onClickListener to that edit text inside oncreate():

 youredittext.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
        im.showSoftInput(youredittext, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
    }
});

This will work.

Only thing you need to do is that add android:focusableInTouchMode="false" to the EditText in xml and thats all.(If someone still needs to know how to do that with the easy way)

Try With this:

EditText yourEditText= (EditText) findViewById(R.id.yourEditText); 
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); 
imm.showSoftInput(yourEditText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT); 

To close, you can use:

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); 
 imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(yourEditText.getWindowToken(), 0); 

Try it like this in your code:

ed = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);  
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(ed.getWindowToken(), 0);  

ed.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    public void onClick(View v) {
        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);  
        imm.showSoftInput(ed, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);  
    }
});

If anyone is still looking for the easiest solution, set the following attribute to true on your parent layout

android:focusableInTouchMode="true"

Example:

<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:focusableInTouchMode="true">

.......
......
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

You have to create a view, above the EditText, that takes a 'fake' focus:

Something like :

<!-- Stop auto focussing the EditText -->
<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:background="@android:color/transparent"
    android:focusable="true"
    android:focusableInTouchMode="true">
</LinearLayout>

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/searchAutoCompleteTextView_feed"
    android:layout_width="200dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:inputType="text" />

In this case, I used a LinearLayout to request the focus. Hope this helps.

This worked perfectly...thanks to Zaggo0

I found the following pattern to work well for me in code where I want to show a dialog to get the input (e.g., the string displayed in the text field is the result of selections made from a list of checkboxes in a dialog, rather than text entered via the keyboard).

1. Disable soft input focus on the edit field. I can't disable for the entire activity, as there are edit fields I do want the keyboard to be used for in the same layout.

2. Initial clicks in the text field yield a focus change, a repeated click yields a click event. So I override both (here I don't refactor the code out to illustrate both handlers do the same thing):

   tx = (TextView) m_activity.findViewById(R.id.allergymeds);
   if (tx != null) {
       tx.setShowSoftInputOnFocus(false);
       tx.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
           @Override
           public void onFocusChange(View view, boolean hasFocus) {
               if (hasFocus) {
                   MedicationsListDialogFragment mld = new MedicationsListDialogFragment();
                   mld.setPatientId(m_sess.getActivePatientId());
                   mld.show(getFragmentManager(), "Allergy Medications Dialog");
               }
           }
       });
       tx.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
           @Override
           public void onClick(View view) {
               MedicationsListDialogFragment mld = new MedicationsListDialogFragment();
               mld.setPatientId(m_sess.getActivePatientId());
               mld.show(getFragmentManager(), "Allergy Medications Dialog");
           }
       });
   }
   

Two Simple Solutions:

First Solution is added below line of code in manifest xml file. In Manifest file (AndroidManifest.xml), add the following attribute in the activity construct

android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"

Example:

<activity android:name=".MainActivity" 
          android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" />

Second Solution is adding below line of code in activity

//Block auto opening keyboard  
  this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);

We can use any one solution of above. Thanks

Use following code in your onCreate() method-

    editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText);
    editText.requestFocus();
    editText.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            InputMethodManager keyboard = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            keyboard.hideSoftInputFromWindow(
                    editText.getWindowToken(), 0);
        }
    }, 200);

     edittext.setShowSoftInputOnFocus(false);

Now you can use any custom keyboard you like.

Thanks @A.B for good solution

    android:focusableInTouchMode="false"

this case if you will disable keyboard in edit text , just add android:focusableInTouchMode="false" in edittext tagline.

work for me in Android Studio 3.0.1 minsdk 16 , maxsdk26

Use This to enable and disable EditText....

InputMethodManager imm;

imm = (InputMethodManager)
getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);

if (isETEnable == true) {

    imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT, 0);
    ivWalllet.setImageResource(R.drawable.checkbox_yes);
    etWalletAmount.setEnabled(true);
    etWalletAmount.requestFocus();
    isETEnable = false;
    } 
else {

    imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY,0);
    ivWalllet.setImageResource(R.drawable.checkbox_unchecked);
    etWalletAmount.setEnabled(false);
    isETEnable = true;
    }

Try this answer,

editText.setRawInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);
editText.setTextIsSelectable(true);

Note: only for API 11+

Use the following code, write it under onCreate()

InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager)
                                   getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); 
inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(),
                                   InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);         
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN);

People have suggested many great solutions here, but I used this simple technique with my EditText (nothing in java and AnroidManifest.xml is required). Just set your focusable and focusableInTouchMode to false directly on EditText.

 <EditText
        android:id="@+id/text_pin"
        android:layout_width="136dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="5dp"
        android:textAlignment="center"
        android:inputType="numberPassword"
        android:password="true"
        android:textSize="24dp"
        android:focusable="false"
        android:focusableInTouchMode="false"/>

My intent here is to use this edit box in App lock activity where I am asking user to input the PIN and I want to show my custom PIN pad. Tested with minSdk=8 and maxSdk=23 on Android Studio 2.1

Well, I had the same problem and I just tackled with focusable in the XML file.

<EditText
            android:cursorVisible="false"
            android:id="@+id/edit"
            android:focusable="false"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

You probably are looking for security also. This will help in that also.

For Xamarin Users:

[Activity(MainLauncher = true, 
        ScreenOrientation = ScreenOrientation.Portrait, 
        WindowSoftInputMode = SoftInput.StateHidden)] //SoftInput.StateHidden - disables keyboard autopop

Add below code on your activity class.

getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN);

Keyboard will pop-upped when user clicks on the EditText

You can use following code for disabling OnScreen Keyboard.

InputMethodManager im = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
im.hideSoftInputFromWindow(editText.getWindowToken(), 0);

private InputMethodManager imm;

...


editText.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
        v.onTouchEvent(event);
        hideDefaultKeyboard(v);
        return true;
    }
});

private void hideDefaultKeyboard(View et) {
  getMethodManager().hideSoftInputFromWindow(et.getWindowToken(), 0);
}

private InputMethodManager getMethodManager() {
        if (this.imm == null) {
            this.imm = (InputMethodManager)  getContext().getSystemService(android.content.Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        }
  return this.imm;
}

       <TextView android:layout_width="match_parent"
                 android:layout_height="wrap_content"

                 android:focusable="true"
                 android:focusableInTouchMode="true">

                <requestFocus/>
      </TextView>

      <EditText android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
