Question

I had defined a <requestfocus /> tag in xml for my edittext widget for my android 2.2 app. Later on, I removed the <requestfocus /> tag, but the activity in which the edittext is defined is still showing up the soft android keyboard.
I have re-designed the code similar to another activity where the <requestfocus /> never shows up, but this edittext activity still throws up the soft android keyboard.

Any suggestions on how to stop this behavior?

Add this code in your activity

this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
