Hide the keyboard after clicking on the EditText

Question

I'm using Date and Time Picker to handle the meeting date field, so there is no need for the keyboard. How can I prevent the keyboard from showing after clicking on the field?enter image description here

Answer 1

You can use property android:focusableInTouchMode="false" in xml

<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
    android:id="@+id/editText"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:focusableInTouchMode="false"
    android:inputType="text|date"/>

And add click listener to this view in code

editText.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {
       //show date picker
    }
});
