EditText with textPassword inputType, but without Softkeyboard

i wanted to create an EditText with an android:inputType="textPassword. However i also do not want to use the SoftKeyboard for i开发者_如何学Cnput.

So i tried setting InputMethod to null, but this would also disable the textPassword features of replacing password rendering to "*[lastchar]".

Is there any other way to disable the softKeyboard from showing up?

Uhm just figured it out myself:

Simply use:

pinInput.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
      public void onClick(View v) {
            InputMethodManager mgr = (InputMethodManager) Pin.this.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
            mgr.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);
      }
    });

This works well for me. I feared it might show the SoftKeyboard and then hide it again instantly, or flicker the screen, but does nothing like it.
