How to hide keyboard after edittext click

Question

I have a edittext in my android app where I can put a person birthdate. When I click on it a dialog fragment appears, but I have to click two times. After first click there is an keyboard and I don't want it.

I know that I can use button instead, but i prefer editext, because it looks better :) How can I change it? Can I open diagram in first edittext click? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You can make your EditText not focusable by adding android:focusable="false" in XML declaration and then use simple onClickListener on the EditText.

Else, you can also use the following method to hide the keyboard:

public void hideSoftKeyBoard(Activity activity) {
    // Check if no view has focus:
    View view = activity.getCurrentFocus();
    if (view != null) {
        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) activity.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
    }
}

This can be invoked as follows: hideSoftKeyBoard(this) from an activity or hideSoftKeyBoard(getActivity()) from a fragment.

Hope this helps!
