Hide keyboard when showing DialogFragment on tablet?

android, dialogfragment, keyboard, show-hide

Solution

In your DialogFragment onCreateView() add the following:

public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                    Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
 View view = super.onCreateView( inflater, container, savedInstanceState );
 //to hide keyboard when showing dialog fragment
 getDialog().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN);
 return view;
}

Problem

I am using `DialogFragment` with `ListView` (to list all customer) and `EditText` (to search from list), it's working fine. But, whenever the dialog shows from the fragment, the keyboard is always shown and the user needs to resign. Is there any way to hide this at the first time while showing the dialog fragment? then, when the user clicks on edit text, the keyboard should appear. I have tried setting `android:focusable="false"` in my XML but, it always hides the keyboard after click on `EditText` also not showing. Then I tried setting `android:focusableInTouchMode="true"` but, getting same as above
