Prevent EditText from automatically focusing
android, android-edittext, xamarin, xamarin.android
Solution
Try this -`this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);`
Problem
I have an Android activity and there is one `EditText` in the whole layout. For some reason, whenever the activity starts, the keyboard comes up. I have tried all of the following things: Placing these two in `OnStart`: ``` FindViewById<EditText> (Resource.Id.searchText).ClearFocus (); FindViewById<EditText> (Resource.Id.searchText).Selected = false; ``` Adding a `LinearLayout` with these two properties: ``` android:focusable="true" android:focusableInTouchMode="true" ``` Adding the following tag inside another `View` on the layout: ``` android:focusable="true" android:focusableInTouchMode="true" ``` Adding this to my activity manifest: ``` android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" ``` But still, the keyboard opens when the activity opens. What could I be doing wrong?
