Question

I’ve an activity that displays a view. The view consists of various widgets, one of which is a multiline EditText. When the view is inflated the softkeyboard comes up how can i disable it?

Things i have tried:

removing the following from the layout from within the EditText.

<requestFocus />

.

creating the following method then calling it from the oncreate method (resolution is the EditText).

private void hideSoftKeyboard() {

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

    }

Add this to your manifest file

  android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"

as

<activity android:name=".youractivity"
              android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"

    </activity>
