I have an EditText and a custom keyboard (LinearLayout with TextView as keys of the keyboard). I want to write from my custom keyboard and to have a cursor tracking my text. The problem is that the system keyboard is appearing when I click the EditText.

How can I have an EditText with a cursor, working with a built-in keyboard?

Have you tried to hide the system keyboard? – B001ᛦ May 18 '21 at 10:10
Yes, but when I click the EditText it appears. – vaniokmd May 18 '21 at 10:12
