I came across with your question now. Maybe after 2 years you have found a solution. But I write it here for the others that will come across with this in the future. The only thing you have to do is to go to the AndroidManifest.xml, find the Activity in which you want this behaviour and add this android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden". So, at the start of your Activity no keyboard will be shown, until you touch the EditText object.
