Prevent the keyboard from displaying on activity start

Question

I have an activity with an Edit Text input. When the activity is initialized, the Android keyboard is shown. How can the keyboard remain hidden until the user

Answer 1

You can try this set unique attribute for each element

TextView mtextView = findViewById(R.id.myTextView);
mtextView.setShowSoftInputOnFocus(false);

Keyboard will not show while element is focus

Answer 2

//to hide the soft keyboard
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);

Answer 3

Add these two properties to your parent layout (ex: Linear Layout, Relative Layout)

android:focusable="false"
android:focusableInTouchMode="false" 

It will do the trick :)

Answer 4

Just Add in AndroidManifest.xml

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

Answer 5

If you are using API level 21, you can use editText.setShowSoftInputOnFocus(false);

Answer 6

Best solution for me, paste your class

@Override
public void onResume() {
    this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
    super.onResume();
}

@Override
public void onStart() {
    this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
    super.onStart();
}
