EditText requestFocus method shows both soft keyboard and custom keyboard in android

Question

I am using custom keyboard for some edittext fields. when I call requestFocus() in onCreate it also shows soft(default) keyboard. whereas I only need to show custom keyboard. If i hide soft keyboard programatically and try to enter field in edit text using custom keyboard than app crashes.

Before calling setContentView() set blow code.

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