Does anyone have an idea as to what determines whether the soft
keyboard will be opened with an EditText.

I have a single Edit Text, in a RelativeLayout, that has an attached
onEditorActionListener which for some strange reason grabs focus and
opens the soft keyboard whenever the activity is started. Essentially,
I do not want the EditText to be focussed or the keyboard opened until
the user touches it. For a start it steals all my screen real-estate.

I am unable to make any other View take focus away from the EditText
programatically.

If I make the EditText unfocussable in onCreate() then the keyboard
does not open. If I make it focussable again later in the code, say
onResume(),  the keyboard opens. Removing the listener makes no
difference.

Am I missing something?.

Frankly I am starting to get sick of buggy Android and the constant
workarounds required.
