Hi! Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately setting editable="false" does not do the trick. When I'm moving the focus via hard keys from a normal EditText to the View where I'd like not to have soft keyboard shown it still stays on the screen.
ps. Sorry I didn't answer earlier, I couldn't find my post for some reason and actually reposted it, so I missed your answer.
