Question

I have 2 edit text and a seekbar within an activity. I would like to prevent the soft keyboard from popping up when touching the seekbar even if an edit text has the focus. I also tried to force the seekbar focus but it did not work either.

I have tried to hide the soft keyboard on the three SeekBar methods (onProgressChanged, onStopTrackingTouch and onStartTrackingTouch), and also one by one but this does not work.

Is it possible and how to achieve that ?

Thx

private void hideSoftKeyboard(){
    // HIDE SOFTKEYBOARD
    InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY, 0);
}

/**
 * SEEKBAR Start tracking
 */
public void onStartTrackingTouch(SeekBar seekBar) {

    // HIDE SOFTKEYBOARD
    hideSoftKeyboard();

}

Oups sorry, I found the solution after many searches.. Here is it :

private void hideSoftKeyboard() {
    // HIDE SOFTKEYBOARD
    //InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    // imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY, 0);

    InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(mSeekBar.getWindowToken(), 0);

}
