I am working on app which tells the user about Device. I go through many questions on SO but didn't find the answer.

I'm developing an application on a hardware device that has a built-in hardware keyboard that does not slide out so is always visible (like a blackberry). Therefore, I NEVER want the soft keyboard to display for my entire application. I'm aware of another SO question that gives the following lines of code: InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(myEditText.getWindowToken(), 0); But I don't know where to put this code to hide the soft keyboard in all places where it might possibly appear in my Activity. I have

I have a requirements in a personal safety app where a user has to launch an app as soon as possible via pressing the volume up or volume down button. What is the procedure to add this functionality? molnarm There is no broadcast event for volume change. However, there is an undocumented action called " android.media.VOLUME_CHANGED_ACTION " which you could use, but it probably won't work on all devices/versions so it is not recommended . Using other buttons (e.g. media buttons ) would be possible though. EDIT: Code sample (using the undocumented action): AndroidManifest.xml ... <receiver
