Automatic popping up keyboard on start Activity

Question

I got a relative simple question. I have an activity with a lot of EditText\'s in them. When I open the activity it automatically focusses to the first EditText and displays

Answer 1

If your view has EditText and Listview then Keyboard will open up by default. To hide keyboard from popping up by default do the following

this.listView.requestFocus();

Make sure you are requesting focus on listview after getting view for editText.

For e.g.

this.listView = (ListView) this.findViewById(R.id.list);
this.editTextSearch = (EditText) this.findViewById(R.id.editTextSearch);
this.listView.requestFocus();

If you do it, then editText will get focus and keyboard will pop up.
