This will help you editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL); Edit: To show soft keyboard, you have to write following code in long key press event of menu button editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT); editText.requestFocus(); InputMethodManager mgr = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); mgr.showSoftInput(editText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED);
In the layout set your input method options to search. <EditText android:imeOptions=”actionSearch” android:inputType=”text” /> In the java add the editor action listener. editText.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() { @Override public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) { if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_SEARCH) { performSearch(); return true; } return false; } });
Set windowSoftInputMode property to adjustPan and adjustResize <activity android:windowSoftInputMode=”adjustPan|adjustResize”> </activity>
You can use the following line of code in the activity’s onCreate method to make sure the keyboard only pops up when a user clicks into an EditText this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
Hi I’d used following workaround: As far as my content view is a subclass of LinearLayout (could be any other view or view group), I’d overridden onMeasure method lilke following: @Override protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) { final int proposedheight = MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec); final int actualHeight = getHeight(); if (actualHeight > proposedheight){ // Keyboard is … Read more
A classic hack for situations like this is to use a handler and postDelayed(). In your adapter: private int lastFocussedPosition = -1; private Handler handler = new Handler(); public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) { // … edittext.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() { @Override public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) { if (hasFocus) { handler.postDelayed(new … Read more
Try this may work for you public class MainActivity extends Activity { private EditText editText; private String blockCharacterSet = “~#^|$%&*!”; private InputFilter filter = new InputFilter() { @Override public CharSequence filter(CharSequence source, int start, int end, Spanned dest, int dstart, int dend) { if (source != null && blockCharacterSet.contains((“” + source))) { return “”; } … Read more
To add to John’s answer, Android always adds ‘Go’ to text inputs and always adds ‘Next’ to number inputs. I’d love to hear the person responsible for this choice explain their logic. The softkeyboard design is just lousy in this respect, because every user I’ve tested with so far has thought the big blue button … Read more
This piece of code will fulfill your requirements: InputMethodManager imeManager = (InputMethodManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); imeManager.showInputMethodPicker(); As Commonsware points out in his answer, there is no way to do this behind the user’s back.
I have used the following lines to display the soft keyboard manually inside the onclick event, and the keyboard is visible. InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); inputMethodManager.toggleSoftInputFromWindow( linearLayout.getApplicationWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, 0); But I’m still not able to open this while the activity gets opened, so are there any solution for this?
