I think the following may work  getWindow   setSoftInputMode WindowManager LayoutParams SOFT INPUT STATE HIDDEN     I ve used it for this sort of thing before

User · Answer

Try this - this getWindow   setSoftInputMode WindowManager LayoutParams SOFT INPUT STATE ALWAYS HIDDEN    Alternatively   you could also declare in your manifest file s activity -   lt application android icon  quot  drawable icon quot  android label  quot  string app name quot  gt   lt activity android name  quot  Main quot            android label  quot  string app name quot            android windowSoftInputMode  quot stateHidden quot             gt    If you have already been using android windowSoftInputMode for a value like adjustResize or adjustPan  you can combine two values like    lt activity                     android windowSoftInputMode  quot stateHidden adjustPan quot                       gt   This will hide the keyboard whenever appropriate but pan the activity view in case the keyboard has to be shown

Add these two properties to your parent layout  ex  Linear Layout  Relative Layout   android focusable  false  android focusableInTouchMode  false     It will do the trick

User · Answer

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    lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt LinearLayout xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android      android layout width  match parent              android focusable  true      android focusableInTouchMode  true   gt        lt EditText         android id    id myEditText                      android hint   string write here    gt        lt Button         android id    id button ok                      android text   string ok    gt   lt  LinearLayout gt     EDIT    Example if the EditText is contained in another layout    lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt ConstraintLayout xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android      android layout width  match parent           gt                                              lt  --not here-- gt               lt  --other elements-- gt        lt LinearLayout         android id    id theDirectParent                      android focusable  true          android focusableInTouchMode  true   gt          lt  --here-- gt            lt EditText             android id    id myEditText                              android hint   string write here    gt            lt Button             android id    id button ok                              android text   string ok    gt       lt  LinearLayout gt    lt  ConstraintLayout gt    The key is to make sure that the EditText is not directly focusable   Bye   -
