Disable soft-keyboard from EditText but still allow copy/paste?

Question

Hi I\'m making custom dialer so I create my own input pad.

The problem is how do I disable the EditText but still allow cut/copy/paste?

Answer 1

To disable the soft keyboard showing, keeping the copy/paste and cursor functionality, just add this line in your activity:

getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_ALT_FOCUSABLE_IM,
    WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_ALT_FOCUSABLE_IM);
