Disable soft keyboard on NumberPicker

Question

I\'m trying to deactivate the soft keyboard when using a NumberPicker to enter numerical values (for aesthetic reasons). This is my layout-xml-code:

Answer 1

After reading through the com/android/internal/widget/NumberPicker.java source code i got to the following solution:

// Hide soft keyboard on NumberPickers by overwriting the OnFocusChangeListener
OnFocusChangeListener fcl = new OnFocusChangeListener() {
    public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
        // Do nothing to suppress keyboard
    }
};

((EditText) numberPicker.getChildAt(1)).setOnFocusChangeListener(fcl);

// Suppress soft keyboard from the beginning
((EditText) numberPicker.getChildAt(1)).setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL);
