How to remove auto focus/keyboard popup of a field when the screen shows up?

Question

I have a screen where the first field is an EditText, and it gains the focus at startup, also popups the numeric input type, which is very annoying

How can I make sure that when the activity is started the focus is not gained, and/or the input panel is not raised?

Answer 1

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(editTextField.getWindowToken(), 0); 

or

set activity property in manifest file as below in the application tag

android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" 

Answer 2

go to your application manifest file, and write this line for that activity you want to disable auto keyboard pop-up.

android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"
