You can prevent soft keyboard to show by default either in code or directly in Android.manifest:
1. In code (the results you get when searching the net always points to a method that really does not work). I found this in the blog of http://blog.oneguyinabasement.com/. getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN); 2. Add a tag to your activity in Android.manifest: android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" On Aug 13, 11:15 pm, jb <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I have an activity which loads a TableLayout.
