Thanks Lexxuz. The solution you provided works only in the sense that
it prevents the soft keyboard from revealing itself - but it is still
a hack. Here's why: I have a hint in each of my text fields (EditText
input fields). When I *press* into the fields (i.e. focus them), the
hints disappear - whereas normally, the fields only disappear if
something is *entered* (inputted). Also, when the field is emptied,
the hints normally re-appear -- however, with the above solution they
don't. Therefore, this solution is a kind of hack.

It blows my mind that Google introduced this soft keyboard without any
documentation about how to suppress it.

If anyone out there has figured this out in a way that does not lose
the usual functionality of the input fields, please reply.

Google Android Engineers please help in this regard.

Thank you.
