I have a custom dialog with a EditText in it. When the dialog appear the focus is on the EditText, and the soft keyboard is showing. How to avoid this? I tried:

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

and

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

but they don't work for me. I think these don't work for dialog.
