Prevent the keyboard from displaying on activity start

Question

I have an activity with an Edit Text input. When the activity is initialized, the Android keyboard is shown. How can the keyboard remain hidden until the user

Answer 1

just add this on your Activity:

@Override
public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
      if (getCurrentFocus() != null) {
           InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
           imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
      }
      return super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev);
}
