Way to hide softkeypad provided not effecting the features of the edittext in android

Question

I have hidden soft keypad because I have custom keypad on the app. When the edittext is clicked, soft keypad shouldn't pop up. So, I have tried so many ways from the sources, but nothing worked except the editText.setFocusable(false); . But now the problem is edittext is not getting highlighted when I clicked it and even cursor is not visible. I have tried using InputManager, android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden in the manifest and referred many like link 1 , link 2 etc., but these techniques atleast don't even hide the soft keypad on my app. Finally I got this through setFocusable, but there is a highlighting problem and cursor invisible problem and even requestFocus() in the onClickListener didn't work. Can someone give exact solution for this problem? Code snippet is appreciated.

Answer 1

Try this one in activity class

getwindow().setsoftInputMode(winowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);

This one is avoiding of soft key pad

Answer 2

please use this in manifest:

android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"         
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"
