How to hide keypad when editText is in focus

I want the editText box to be click-able so the user can scroll through the text, but I do not want the keyboard to appear. I have tried all these but they do not do what I want:

In XML:

android:editable="false"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden"
android:inputType="none"

This disables it:

editText.setInputType(EditorInfo.TYPE_NULL);

This only works on API 21 and above:

editText.setShowSoftInputOnFocus(false);
Solution

  • Try this

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/et_file_url"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:inputType="none"
        android:lines="1"
        android:textIsSelectable="true" />
