SoftKeyboard on EditText

Question

This is my layout:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/textView1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:text="Introduzca codigo de comercial"
    android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/imageView1"
    android:layout_width="400dp"
    android:layout_height="190dp"
    android:layout_above="@+id/textView1"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_marginBottom="60dp"
    android:src="@drawable/logo" />

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/textocontrasena"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_below="@+id/textView1"
    android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
    android:ems="5" >
</EditText>

<Button
    android:id="@+id/loginlogin"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_below="@+id/textocontrasena"
    android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
    android:background="@drawable/xmlbotonzarko"
    android:text="Login"
    android:textColor="#FFF"
    android:textSize="19sp"
    android:textStyle="bold" />

My problem is that the softkeyboard is opening automatically when I enter on the Activity. What I want is the softkeyboard to open just when the user clicks on the EditText(not before).

Thanks!

Edit your Activity code in your Android Manifest that is associated with this layout by adding either:

android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"

or,

android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"

so that it would look something like:

<activity
    android:name="my.package.name.MyActivity"
    android:label="MyActivity"
    android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"  <!-- Pick one of -->
    android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" />        <!-- these two   -->

This should prevent the softkeyboard from automatically opening up on activity start.

Place this inside the manifest for your activity: android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"

put the focus on another view, and try to add this for your TextEdit View android:focusable="true" android:focusableInTouchMode="true"

Example change focus : ((yourView)findViewById(R.id.your_id)).requestFocus();
