Keyboard appear automatically on Nexus7 version 4.2

Question

I have a dialog containing a time picker. On all my other phones, all is OK I click on the button , the dialog (containing time picker) appear. Than I set the time.

On the Nexus 7 version android 4.2. In the landscape mode, when I click on the button the dialog appear and the keyboard appears automatically. I didn't clicked on TimePicker yet.

Any one know why I am getting this issue on Nexus7.

Edit: The code is given below

private DatePicker mDatePicker;

@Override
public Dialog onCreateDialog(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
   mDatePicker = (DatePicker) view.findViewById(R.id.date_picker);
   mDatePicker.init(mDate.get(Calendar.YEAR), mDate.get(Calendar.MONTH), mDate.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH), this);
   mDatePicker.clearFocus();
}

Take a look at [this][1]. Let's hope it helps. Cheers [1]: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1845285/how-to-block-virtual-keyboard-while-clicking-on-edittext-in-android/1845307#1845307 — g00dy, Feb 21 '13 at 14:44

Make the layout containing the time picker focusable. And request focus to this layout. Then the DatePicker won't get focus and the keyboard will not be displayed.

Have you ever tried to hide your keyboard on button click after your dialog appears? Something like this :

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);

So what are you doing exactly and when the keyboard is showing. You are going to landscape mode and after that click on the button and your dialog appears and the keyboard shows up too? If that's the situation can you remove focus of your time picker. It can force the keyboard to shows up too. – hardartcore Feb 18 '13 at 12:04

I ran into this same issue with me calling for the SoftInputMode(Keyboard) on one Activity in my app and it appearing on all the other Activities. So, I finally had to add android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden" to my manifest file on the activities I did not want the SoftInputMode(Keyboard) to pop up. This got rid of the keyboard popping up. Here is what my manifest Activity looks like:

<activity
        android:name=".GMax3Main"
        android:label="@string/app_name" 
        android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="com.medeasy.GMax3.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

you can also try to disable it in Manifest:

 <activity
  android:name=".activity.SampleActivity"
  android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"
 />

Inside your layout, add this tag inside a view that is not the DatePicker:

<SomeView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:doSomethingCool="true">
    <requestFocus/>
</SomeView>

This should insure that the DatePicker won't get focus and, thus, won't display the keyboard.

Add the following line to your activity in manifest.xml

     android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden"
