My apologies for resurrecting this thread, but is it possible now to not display the soft keyboard when the EditText view receives an on touch event?
I've looked at IMM code and the closest thing I can find for doing such a thing is hideSoftInputFromWindow(IBinder windowToken) but I'm not too sure how to call it. "Request to hide the soft input window from the context of the window that is currently accepting input. This should be called as a result of the user doing some actually than fairly explicitly requests to have the input window hidden." I've tried a couple of different things, and the only way I've been able to hide the soft keyboard is by hacking the onTouchEvent method the TextView class! And of course, I don't want to do this!
