Disable soft-keyboard from EditText but still allow copy/paste?

Question

Hi I\'m making custom dialer so I create my own input pad.

The problem is how do I disable the EditText but still allow cut/copy/paste?

Answer 1

To disable system keyboard automatic pop up for EditText or TextView do the following:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
    editTextView.setShowSoftInputOnFocus(false);
} else {
    editTextView.setTextIsSelectable(true);
    //N.B. Accepting the case when non editable text will be selectable
}
