How to disable the keyboard when I click on EditText?

Question

Hello I would like to do the next thing : when I click on an EditText I would like to hide the keyboard but seeing the cursor. I tried to do this :

    editText_test!!.setCursorVisible(false);
    editText_test!!.setFocusableInTouchMode(false);
    editText_test!!.setFocusable(true);

Obviously I don't see the keyboard but I can't click on my EditText. How can I do this ? To be precise I am using Kotlin.

Thank you !

If you have minimum API >= 21:

editText_test!!.showSoftInputOnFocus = false

To deal with different versions:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 21) {
    editText_test!!.showSoftInputOnFocus = false
} else if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 11) {
    editText_test!!.setRawInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT)
    editText_test!!.setTextIsSelectable(true)
} else {
    editText_test!!.setRawInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL)
    editText_test!!.isFocusable = true
}

Set a listener for your EditText's onFocus, you can add:

getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN);

I try this : `editText_test!!.setOnFocusChangeListener(OnFocusChangeListener { view, hasFocus -> getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN); })` but it does not work :/ – Guy Martino Aug 07 '17 at 23:56

inside the listener method force the android to hide the virtual keyboard using the hideSoftInputFromWindow method in the InputMethodManager

View view = this.getCurrentFocus();
if (view != null) {  
    InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
}

I tried this : `editText_test!!.setOnFocusChangeListener(OnFocusChangeListener { view, hasFocus -> val view = this.currentFocus if (view != null) { val imm = getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE) as InputMethodManager imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.windowToken, 0) } })` but unfortunately it does not work when I click on the EditText I see the keyboard :/ – Guy Martino Aug 08 '17 at 00:09
