Android on-screen keyboard auto popping up

Question

One of my apps has an  opening screen   basically a menu  that has an EditText followed by several Buttons  The problem is that several of my users are reporting that when they open the app it s automatically popping up the on-screen keyboard without them even touching the EditText  As far as I can tell  all of these users are using the HTC Hero    Is this a bug in 1 5  Is there anything I can do about it

In that version of Android  when a view is inflated  the focus will be set to the first focusable control by default - and if there s no physical keyboard  the on-screen keyboard will pop up   To fix this  explicitly set focus somewhere else  If focus is set to anything other than an EditText  the on-screen keyboard will not appear   Have you tried testing this by running Android 1 5 in the emulator

If you are using fragments  you need to call hideKeyboard every time in onResume and onCreate if you want to hide the keyboard       Override     public void onResume             super onResume            Log d TAG   quot SectionMyFragment onResume quot            hideKeyboard           private void hideKeyboard         if  getActivity      null            InputMethodManager inputMethodManager    InputMethodManager                  getActivity   getSystemService Context INPUT METHOD SERVICE            if  inputMethodManager    null                if  getActivity   getCurrentFocus      null                    Log d TAG   quot hideSoftInputFromWindow 1 quot                    inputMethodManager hideSoftInputFromWindow  getActivity   getCurrentFocus    getWindowToken    0
