I've read the other questions discussing this, and all of them work for my layouts, except for the very first one created.
At the moment, this is at the top of my onCreate
method:
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
^ That makes it so at least the keyboard doesn't pop up on startup, but the EditText
is still focused on.
This is the XML
for my EditText
:
<EditText android:id="@+id/password" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_below="@+id/changePass" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_marginTop="167dp" android:ems="10" android:imeOptions="flagNoExtractUi" android:inputType="textPassword" android:maxLength="30" > </EditText>
This is what it looks like when I bring up my activity:
The problem is that with some phones, when an EditText
is focused like this, they can't write in it. I want it to not focus.
What I've done works for the next layouts brought up in that it the EditTexts
are not focused on and would look more like this:
Notice that it's the same layout, though. This is the screen after the user has been brought back to this screen, which would indicate nothing wrong with the XML
because this is the same XML
, but the problem is that the EditText
is only focused on when the activity is created.
I've done research and all of the other questions don't help me with this (they did however help the keyboard not show up, thankfully). How can I make it so the EditText
on startup will look like the second screenshot, rather than the first?
You can use View. OnFocusChangeListener to detect if any view (edittext) gained or lost focus. This goes in your activity or fragment or wherever you have the EditTexts.
setShowSoftInputOnFocus(false); to disable the software keyboard showing when the EditText is touched. the hideKeyboard(this); call in OnCreate to forcible hide the software keyboard.
To disable an EditText while keeping this properties, just use UI. setReadOnly(myEditText, true) from this library. If you want to replicate this behaviour without the library, check out the source code for this small method.
You can set property of Layout like android:descendantFocusability="beforeDescendants"
and android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
Example:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/mainLayout" android:descendantFocusability="beforeDescendants" android:focusableInTouchMode="true" > <EditText android:id="@+id/password" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_below="@+id/changePass" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:layout_marginTop="167dp" android:ems="10" android:imeOptions="flagNoExtractUi" android:inputType="textPassword" android:maxLength="30" > </EditText> </RelativeLayout>
