[android-developers] EditText without initial keyboard
Does anyone know how to configure an EditText object so that when it is created it does not show the keyboard until I tap on the text field. Right now the keyboard shows up right away on creation. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

The EditText will only display the IME if it has the focus. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 4.1 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

I've used following code snippet in my application; getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_UNCHANGED); setContentView(R.layout.root); In this particular order within onCreate method. This way keyboard stays visible if present during orientation change but is invisible by default. I have to admit I'm not too familiar with soft keyboard and it might be the case this works in my app for other reasons I'm not aware of. -- H -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

Re: [android-developers] EditText without initial keyboard
Okay thanks for that info Harri. I managed to get it to work using the focus method so I did not end up having to investigate your method.
