Automatic popping up keyboard on start Activity

Question

I got a relative simple question. I have an activity with a lot of EditText\'s in them. When I open the activity it automatically focusses to the first EditText and displays

Answer 1

I had a simular problem, even when switching tabs the keyboard popped up automatically and stayed up, with Android 3.2.1 on a Tablet. Use the following method:

public void setEditTextFocus(EditText searchEditText, boolean isFocused)
{
    searchEditText.setCursorVisible(isFocused);
    searchEditText.setFocusable(isFocused);
    searchEditText.setFocusableInTouchMode(isFocused);
    if (isFocused) {
        searchEditText.requestFocus();
    } else {
        InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); 
        inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(searchEditText.getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS );
    }
}   

In the onCreate() and in the onPause() of the activity for each EditText:

setEditTextFocus(myEditText, false);

For each EditText an OnTouchListener:

    myEditText.setOnTouchListener(new EditText.OnTouchListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            setEditTextFocus(myEditText, true); 
            return false;
        }
    });

For each EditText in the OnEditorActionListener:

    myEditText.setOnEditorActionListener(new EditText.OnEditorActionListener() {
        @Override
        public boolean onEditorAction(TextView arg0, int arg1, KeyEvent arg2) {
                            .......
            setEditTextFocus(myEditText, false); 
            return false;
        }
    });

And for each EditText in the layout xml:

            android:imeOptions="actionDone"
            android:inputType="numberDecimal|numberSigned" // Or something else

There is probably more code optimizing possible.
