Actually, there's still a problem. I only want suppress the soft keyboard from showing up -- because I have a custom on-screen keypad. Consuming the touch event suppresses the soft keyboard, but it also holds the focus on the text field, making it impossible to touch another text field. I have two text fields, and I want to suppress the keyboard on both, but of course both fields must still be touchable.
Any idea how to suppress the soft keyboard, but not have the above mentioned negative side effect?
