Dont want soft keyboard to automatically show on launch - Android

Every time I open my android app, it automatically focuses the EditText box and the soft keyboard opens up. Is there a way to focus something else on start up so the keyboard doesn't show right away?

Solution

  • You can try:

    android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"

    for your activity in AndroidManifest.xml
