How disable softkeyboard in WebView

Question

I need disable open softkeyboard in my WebView and in all edittexts in WebView (I do not access to thay because its is in WebView).

I try use \'android:windowSoftInp

A kind of hack solution which came to my mind but still does what is required - hides the keyboard so user will not see it:

public class WebViewEx extends WebView {

    private Handler mHandler;

    @Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
        ensureKeyboard();
        return super.onTouchEvent(event);
    }

    private void ensureKeyboard() {
        if(mHandler == null){
            mHandler = new Handler() {
                @Override
                public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
                    super.handleMessage(msg);
                    closeKeyboard();
                    sendEmptyMessageDelayed(0, 10);
                }
            };
        }
        mHandler.removeCallbacksAndMessages(null);
        mHandler.sendEmptyMessage(0);
        mHandler.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
            @Override
            public void run() {
                mHandler.removeCallbacksAndMessages(null);
            }
        }, 300);
    }

    private void closeKeyboard() {
        InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) getContext().getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getWindowToken(), 0);
    }

}

Feel free to play with the delays to minimize overhead because of rapid call of a function during the predefined period. I believe optimal values may vary depending on device.
