Do not open keyboard automatically when on screen with Edittext

Question

I have a screen with a EditText ai whenever I enter it already opens the keyboard. I wanted you to only open the keyboard when I clicked on it.

I tried that but the keyboard is not opening at all:

mItemDescriptionTextView.setFocusable(false);

Answer 1

You need to add android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" within your AndroidManifest.xml:

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

This flag will hide the keyboard when the user enters your Activity (even if the EditText have focus).

Answer 2

To resolve this problem open the Androidmanifest.xml file, then in your Activity statement add the following line:

android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"

What will make the keyboard not appear when Activity is created is the keyboardHidden.

Example:

<activity
    android:name="com.example.activity.MainActivity"
    android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"
    android:label="@string/app_name" >
</activity>

Answer 3

I put these two attributes in Contraintlayout and also work

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

Answer 4

You can also create a method to hide the keyboard when you want, for example:

public void hideKeyboard(View v) {
    InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);
}

Answer 5

Use these attributes in XML:

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

Answer 6

Use these attributes in your XML where this Edittext is, I could only use putting these attributes inside a Linearlayout as below:

<LinearLayout          
        android:focusable="true"
        android:focusableInTouchMode="true" />
