Hide soft keyboard on application load

I have an application with an EditText element on the main view. This means that when my applic开发者_运维问答ation is loaded the soft keyboard appears per default.

I would like to be able to hide the keyboard on load, so it does not show until i tap on the EditText view.

How do i manage this?

You can do something easier. Add this to the LinearLayout (or any other layout that is the root):

<LinearLayout
...
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
...
/>

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

This will hide in all situations (even when the EditView has focus):

 EditText editView = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextConvertValue);
 editView.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL);

You can hide keyboard when page open easily

Add these two properties on root layout

android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"

Sample code

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:focusable="true"
    android:focusableInTouchMode="true">
