How to block virtual keyboard while clicking on edittext in android

Answer 1

For cursor positioning you can use Selection.setSelection(...), i just tried this and it worked:

final EditText editText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.edittext);
editText.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {
     @Override
     public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent motionEvent) {

         //change the text here

         Selection.setSelection(editText.getText(), editText.length());
         return true;
     }
});
