对本机应用程序永久响应本机android隐藏或禁用键盘

Question

I need to disable or hide the keyboard in my app which is a kiosk mode app. I googled it and did not find way to hide keyboard for the whole app without losing focus of the input (since I will be using external keyboard).

I also want to have the ability to show the keyboard for maintenance by clicking on button or something.

Any one who can help me here ?

Answer 1

in your manifest file under your activity use:

<activity ... android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden">

and then in your oncreate event create an ontouchlistener :

MyEdittext.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {

@Override
public boolean onTouch(View MyView, MotionEvent event) {
    MyView.onTouchEvent(event);
    InputMethodManager inputMethod = (InputMethodManager)MyView.getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    if (inputMethod!= null) {
        inputMethod.hideSoftInputFromWindow(MyView.getWindowToken(), 0);
    }                
    return true;
}

});

and to re-enable the keyboard just add this to the item of the xml you want to enable :

android:textIsSelectable="true"

Hope that helps..
