Question

I am writing an android application with two EditText on the main activity. My problem is that once the main activity starts the soft keyboad automatically appears. I want the soft keyboard to appear only when the user clicks on the EditText component. How can I accomplish this?

Answer 1

In your activity, in your onCreate method, put the following

edittext.setFocused(false);

And then afterwards (in a different method, maybe an onClickListener for your edittext) put

edittext.setFocused(true);

Also you could put the below line in you manifest, in the the activity section, just below the android:name attribute

android:windowSoftInputMode="stateUnchanged"
