I am now showing the keyboard once tapping on a EditText field with the activity attribute android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustNothing" in AndroidManifest.xml so as to disable view scroll up animation. Now I hide the keyboard using the following:
editText.clearFocus();
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);
But this would produce a scroll up animation first before hiding the keyboard. I would like to know how to hide keyboard without this animation.
P.S. This happens on my Android 5.1.1 Samsung Galaxy J1(2016) device.
I change to android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustPan" for the activity and the animation still appears.
Updates:
I found that the animation is caused by editText.clearFocus();. If I remove this line, there would be no animation, but the cursor is still blinking, which is not I want.
I now used a workaround to show / hide the cursor blinking in this SO post without clear the focus of the EditText.
