I have three edit-text fields. Of these fields I want to display the soft input keyboard only for the first field and disabled for the later two fields sice these are date and time fields.
Edit-Text 1 //Show the keyboard
Edit-Text 2 and 3 //Hide the keyboard
By using below code I'm able to disable the keyboard for field 2 and 3 but when the user has focus on field 1 the keyboard appears but didn't hide when user taps on field 2 or 3. Although when field 2 or 3 is tapped first no keyboard appears.
//Code to disable soft input keyboard
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);
}
How can I hide the soft input keyboard if its already open?
It's the left-pointing arrow button at the bottom of the screen, either at the bottom-left or bottom-right corner. The keyboard is now hidden. The back button may be a physical button or on the touch screen.
You must have an EditText in your layout and that need to extent EditText base class. then Override onKeyPreIme() method, and return True. Now your keyboard will be always visible and can't be dismissed by Back key. Caution: Because of your onKeyPreIme() method returns true you can't exit your app using back key.
This example demonstrates how to hide a soft keyboard on android after clicking outside EditText using Kotlin. Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project. Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main. xml.
//activity
public static void hideSoftKeyboard(Activity activity) {
InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager)activity.getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(activity.getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
}
// fragment
public void hideSoftKeyboard() {
InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getActivity().getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
}
// If edit-text loses the focus, hiding keyboard
edTxtMessage.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
if (isEditable){
v.setFocusable(true);
v.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
} else {
edTxtMessage.setFocusable(false);
}
return false;
}
});
edTxtMessage.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener({
@Override
public void onFocusChange(View view, boolean b) {
if (!b){
hideKeyboard(getContext(), view);
}
}
});
private void hideKeyboard(Context context, View view) {
if (view != null) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
}
