I have a single EditText on my layout. After the user inputs some text and hits the "done" key, I would like to remove the blinking cursor from it. I have scoured StackOverflow and found 3 answers that didn't work for me. The blinking cursor still remains.
private class MyOnKeyListener implements OnKeyListener {
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if (event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN
&& keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER) {
// FAIL 0
MyActivity.this.findViewById(R.id.someOtherView).requestFocus();
// FAIL 1
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(
Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE
);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);
// FAIL 2
MyActivity.this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(
WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN
);
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
}
You could use a xml attribute,
android:cursorVisible
or you can do it in code with this method.
setCursorVisible(boolean).
