I have an activity with an Edit Text
input. When the activity is initialized, the Android keyboard is shown. How can the keyboard remain hidden until the user focuses the input?
This question is related to

Try to declare it in menifest file
<activity android:name=".HomeActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden"

Add these two properties to your parent layout (ex: Linear Layout, Relative Layout)
android:focusable="false"
android:focusableInTouchMode="false"
It will do the trick :)
If you are using API level 21, you can use editText.setShowSoftInputOnFocus(false);
Try this -
this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
Alternatively,
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
<activity android:name=".Main"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"
>
android:windowSoftInputMode
for a value like adjustResize
or adjustPan
, you can combine two values like:<activity
...
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden|adjustPan"
...
>
This will hide the keyboard whenever appropriate but pan the activity view in case the keyboard has to be shown.
Best solution for me, paste your class
@Override
public void onResume() {
this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
super.onResume();
}
@Override
public void onStart() {
this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
super.onStart();
}
//to hide the soft keyboard
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);
To expand upon the accepted answer by @Lucas:
Call this from your activity in one of the early life cycle events:
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN);
override fun onResume() {
super.onResume()
window.setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN)
}
or You can use focusable tag in xml.
android:focusable="false"
set it to false.here is the snippet of the code
Function to hide the keyboard.
public static void hideKeyboard(Activity activity) {
View view = activity.getCurrentFocus();
if (view != null) {
InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) activity.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);
}
}
Hide keyboard in AndroidManifext.xml file.
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden">
just add this on your Activity:
@Override
public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
if (getCurrentFocus() != null) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
}
return super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev);
}
Just Add in AndroidManifest.xml
<activity android:name=".HomeActivity" android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden">
</activity>
declare this code( android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden") in manifest inside your activity tag .
like this :
<activity android:name=".MainActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden">
Just add this in your manifest.xml file
<activity android:name=".MainActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden">
You are all done.
You can also write these lines of code in the direct parent layout of the .xml layout file in which you have the "problem":
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
For example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
...
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true" >
<EditText
android:id="@+id/myEditText"
...
android:hint="@string/write_here" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/button_ok"
...
android:text="@string/ok" />
</LinearLayout>
EDIT :
Example if the EditText is contained in another layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
... > <!--not here-->
... <!--other elements-->
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/theDirectParent"
...
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true" > <!--here-->
<EditText
android:id="@+id/myEditText"
...
android:hint="@string/write_here" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/button_ok"
...
android:text="@string/ok" />
</LinearLayout>
</ConstraintLayout>
The key is to make sure that the EditText is not directly focusable.
Bye! ;-)
You can try this set unique attribute for each element
TextView mtextView = findViewById(R.id.myTextView);
mtextView.setShowSoftInputOnFocus(false);
Keyboard will not show while element is focus
Hide it for all activities using the theme
<style name="MyTheme" parent="Theme">
<item name="android:windowSoftInputMode">stateHidden</item>
</style>
set the theme
<application android:theme="@style/MyTheme">
