Answer 1

   public class NonKeyboardEditText extends AppCompatEditText {

    public NonKeyboardEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCheckIsTextEditor() {
        return false;
    }
}

and add

NonKeyboardEditText.setTextIsSelectable(true);

Answer 2

The soft keyboard kept rising even though I set EditorInfo.TYPE_NULL to the view. None of the answers worked for me, except the idea I got from nik431's answer:

editText.setCursorVisible(false);
editText.setFocusableInTouchMode(false);
editText.setFocusable(false);

Answer 5

My test result:

with setInputType:

editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL);

the soft keyboard disappears, but the cursor will also disappear.

with setShowSoftInputOnFocus:

editText.setShowSoftInputOnFocus(false)

It works as expected.
