Android Search and Listview keybaord


I have a simple view with a Search EditView and a ListView.

When the Activity appears, the keyboard automatically asppears with the cursor in the Search.

How do I stop it from doing that. I wish the keyboard only to appear once the user taps the search box.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<EditText
    android:id="@+id/search"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:hint="Search"
    android:inputType="text" />
<ListView
    android:id="@+id/list"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:listSelector="@drawable/list_selector" />
</LinearLayout>

Solution

  • Add

    android:focusable="true" 
    

    and

    android:focusableInTouchMode="true" 
    

    elements in the parent of EditText

    Must be

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:focusable="true" 
        android:focusableInTouchMode="true">
    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/search"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:hint="Search"
        android:inputType="text" />
    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/list"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:listSelector="@drawable/list_selector" />
    </LinearLayout>
    

    Hope it's help
