Question

I have many EditText that I set some of those to setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL) and let our Input View to handle the insert data.

But some of them, I use original Keyboard from EditText.

When I touch normal EditText normal Keyboard show up and from this state when I touch my custom EditText normal Keyboard doesn’t hide instantly and my custom input show above that Keyboard.

Thanks.

1. Add following method to your activity in which you want to hide your in-built SoftKeyBoard.

   public void hideSoftKeyboard(Activity activity) {
       InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager)  activity.getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
       inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(activity.getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
   }
   

2. Now in onCreate add following lines after setContentView().

   final EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edtTitle);
   editText.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
       @Override
       public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent event) {
           android.util.Log.i(TAG, "Touch");
           hideSoftKeyboard(JoinImageActivity.this);
           //Open your custom keyboard here
           return true;
       }
   });
   

Here you can open your custom keyboard as it hides the in-built one. I hope this can help you out.
