Disable keyboard on EditText
You can also use setShowSoftInputOnFocus(boolean) directly on API 21+ or through reflection on API 14+:
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
editText.setShowSoftInputOnFocus(false);
} else {
try {
final Method method = EditText.class.getMethod(
"setShowSoftInputOnFocus"
, new Class[]{boolean.class});
method.setAccessible(true);
method.invoke(editText, false);
} catch (Exception e) {
// ignore
}
}
Here is a website that will give you what you need
As a summary, it provides links to InputMethodManager
and View
from Android Developers. It will reference to the getWindowToken
inside of View
and hideSoftInputFromWindow()
for InputMethodManager
A better answer is given in the link, hope this helps.
here is an example to consume the onTouch event:
editText_input_field.setOnTouchListener(otl);
private OnTouchListener otl = new OnTouchListener() {
public boolean onTouch (View v, MotionEvent event) {
return true; // the listener has consumed the event
}
};
Here is another example from the same website. This claims to work but seems like a bad idea since your EditBox is NULL it will be no longer an editor:
MyEditor.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener(){
@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
int inType = MyEditor.getInputType(); // backup the input type
MyEditor.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL); // disable soft input
MyEditor.onTouchEvent(event); // call native handler
MyEditor.setInputType(inType); // restore input type
return true; // consume touch even
}
});
Hope this points you in the right direction
Below code is both for API >= 11 and API < 11. Cursor is still available.
/**
* Disable soft keyboard from appearing, use in conjunction with android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden|adjustNothing"
* @param editText
*/
public static void disableSoftInputFromAppearing(EditText editText) {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 11) {
editText.setRawInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);
editText.setTextIsSelectable(true);
} else {
editText.setRawInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL);
editText.setFocusable(true);
}
}
