Hide SoftKeyBoard on Android Oreo

Question

i'm trying to prevent the keyboard from showing up after calling requestFocus() on a SearchView but there is no solution to fix that on Android 8.

i tried :

/*1/

 android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden"

/*2/

this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);

/*3/

InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) activity.getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); if (activity.getCurrentFocus() != null && activity.getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken() != null) inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(activity.getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);

/*4/

 final View activityRootView = findViewById(R.id.rootLayout); activityRootView.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() { @Override public void onGlobalLayout() { int heightDiff = activityRootView.getRootView().getHeight() - activityRootView.getHeight(); if (heightDiff > dpToPx(Act_StoreOrder.this, 200)) { // if more than 200 dp, it's probably a keyboard... Log.i("<<<Clavier","Clavier Showed Up"); //hide here } } });

onGlobalLayout() worked but the softkeyboard show up for nearly 0.5s and disappear.

Any help to make that softkeyboard hidden even after calling requestFocus() ??

Does the device have a hardware keyboard? Why don't you want a keyboard when they tap on a field you type in? — Gabe Sechan

If you have an attached hardware keyboard, most software ones hide themselves. — Gabe Sechan

Also, your on global layout code will fail if they use screen casting, picture in picture, or split screen apps. Or if they use a very small keyboard like minimum. — Gabe Sechan

finally i solved the problem, i just used that function bellow to intercept FocusChanges and hide the softKeyboard after 100 (enought time to intercept the softkeyboard)

 @Override public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus) { super.onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus); if (hasFocus) { View lFocused = getCurrentFocus(); if (lFocused != null) lFocused.postDelayed(new Runnable() { @Override public void run() { InputMethodManager lInputManager = (InputMethodManager) pContext.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); lInputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0); } }, 100);//Modified to 100ms to intercept SoftKeyBoard on Android 8 (Oreo) and hide it. } }
