Hide soft keyboard on application load

Question

I have an application with an EditText element on the main view. This means that when my application 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?

Answer 1

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"
...
/>
