Android: Disable soft keyboard at all EditTexts

Question

I am working on a dialog at Android with a few EditTexts. I\'ve put this line at the onCreate() in order to disable the soft keyboard:

Answer 1

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(edSearch.getWindowToken(), 0);

Answer 2

Try this out..

edittext.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL);      
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 11)   
{  
    edittext.setRawInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);  
    edittext.setTextIsSelectable(true);  
}

Answer 3

by set EditText focusable->false, keyboard will not opened when clicked

<EditText
   android:layout_width="wrap_content"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:focusable="false" />

Answer 4

create your own class that extends EditText and override the onCheckIsTextEditor():

public class NoImeEditText extends EditText {
    public NoImeEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }
    @Override
    public boolean onCheckIsTextEditor() {
        return false;
    }
}

Answer 5

You can do that:

textView.setOnClickListener(null);

It will disable the keyboard to the textView and the click will not work anymore.

Answer 6

If you take look on onCheckIsTextEditor() method implementation (in TextView), it looks like this:

@Override
public boolean onCheckIsTextEditor() {
    return mInputType != EditorInfo.TYPE_NULL;
}

This means you don't have to subclass, you can just:

((EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1)).setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL); 

I tried setting android:inputType="none" in layout xml but it didn't work for me, so I did it programmatically.
