AndroidAndroid EdittextAndroid Problem Overview
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.
Android Solutions
Solution 1 - Android
The best solution lies in the Project Manifest file (AndroidManifest.xml), add the following attribute in the activity
construct
> android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"
Example:
<activity android:name=".MainActivity"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" />
Description:
- The state of the soft keyboard — whether it is hidden or visible — when the activity becomes the focus of user attention.
- The adjustment made to the activity's main window — whether it is resized smaller to make room for the soft keyboard or whether its contents pan to make the current focus visible when part of the window is covered by the soft keyboard.
Introduced in:
- API Level 3.
Note: Values set here (other than "stateUnspecified" and "adjustUnspecified") override values set in the theme.
Solution 2 - Android
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
Solution 3 - Android
edittext.setShowSoftInputOnFocus(false);
Now you can use any custom keyboard you like.
Solution 4 - Android
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
Solution 5 - Android
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
Solution 6 - Android
You can use following code for disabling OnScreen Keyboard.
InputMethodManager im = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
im.hideSoftInputFromWindow(editText.getWindowToken(), 0);
Solution 7 - Android
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
Solution 8 - Android
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.
Solution 9 - Android
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);

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
Solution 11 - Android
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.
Solution 12 - Android
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
Solution 13 - Android
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);
}
});
Solution 14 - Android
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)
Solution 15 - Android
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);
Solution 16 - Android
<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"/>
Solution 17 - Android
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);
Solution 18 - Android
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).
-
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.
-
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"); } }); }

In a Android app I was building, I had three EditText
s 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();
Solution 20 - Android
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>

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;
}

For Xamarin Users:
[Activity(MainLauncher = true,
ScreenOrientation = ScreenOrientation.Portrait,
WindowSoftInputMode = SoftInput.StateHidden)] //SoftInput.StateHidden - disables keyboard autopop
Solution 23 - Android
Try this answer,
editText.setRawInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);
editText.setTextIsSelectable(true);
Note: only for API 11+
Solution 24 - Android
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;
}
Solution 25 - Android
Try below lines of code when you want to hide keyboard on screen on any event. It worked for me.
context.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN );
final InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) activity.getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
if (inputMethodManager.isAcceptingText()) inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(context.getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
Solution 26 - Android
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"
Solution 27 - Android
Just remove the <request focus/>
tag from the xml file.
Solution 28 - Android
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.
Solution 29 - Android
It issue can be sorted by using, No need to set editText inputType to any values, just add the below line, editText.setTextIsSelectable(true);
