How to avoid keyboard from appearing with starting FilePickerActivity

I have a button in an activity that starts a FilePickerActivity. Everything works as expected except for the soft keyboard that appears right when the activity starts. I've already tried using the following code line but I can't use it INSIDE the FilePickerActivity because I can't modify it: getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN);

Is there an extra that I can put in the intent or something to tell that FilePickerActivity to NOT open the soft keyboard on start?

Thanks in advance!

Solution

  • Add this line in your activity tag in manifest:

    android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden"
