I have an application with an EditText
element on the main view.
This means that when my application is loaded the soft keyboard appears per default.
I would like to be able to hide the keyboard on load,
so it does not show until i tap on the EditText
view.
How do i manage this?
In your AndroidManifest.xml
:
<activity android:name="com.your.package.ActivityName"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" />
More details about windowSoftInputMode
can be found here.
This setting will hide soft keyboard when user enters new Activity (even if EditText control gains the focus). Soft keyboard will be shown only when user clicks the edit box control.
