Answer 1

You can use the following line of code to make sure the keyboard only pops up when a user clicks into an EditText

Java

this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN); 

Kotlin

window.setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN)

And

You need to add

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"

to your activity tag in the AndroidManifest.xml file.
