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. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
