I do see where you are coming from though. I feel the exact same way about people who join sects or religions like Scientology. It almost seems that human stupidity has no limits.

If you use input fields, you better damned well allow the user to input data into them! What I am saying is basically that there is no reason for you to forcibly suppress the keyboard.

Until 1.5, we've been dealing with the physical keyboard, and custom onscreen buttons. As of 1.5, an onscreen keyboard appears when an input field is focused/touched. It seems to me that the introduction of such a major UI feature should come with ample documentation describing how to deal with it... particularly, how to suppress it. Until now, I have not seen any official documentation about this. There has been some discussion on the dev list, but only hacks have been presented. Indeed, some of the hacks do suppress the keyboard, but they come with the loss of certain behaviour - functional or aesthetic. What is needed, is a *clean* way of suppressing the keyboard. At the very least, on a field-by-field basis... but best would be on an activity or app basis. Actually, ideally, all three methods should be presented. Personally, I don't want the soft keyboard to show up *anywhere* within my app, regardless of activity or EditText text input field. If you know how to do this, or if you know how to get the Android team's attention, please help.
