Answer 1

Have you tried adding android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden" into your activity?

e.g.:

Not sure if it applies to the onscreen keyboard as well as a physical one.

Also you can mess with the On Screen Keyboard using the InputMethodManager, for example to hide it you could use:

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(mCurretnView.getWindowToken(), 0);
