Android :: Android Prevent Device Emulator From Popping Up Onscreen Keyboard?
Sep 8, 2010
I am developing an Android application. What I find most annoying during testing is, that the emulator always pops up that on-screen telephone keyboard whenever I click into a text input field. Since I input my data with the keyboard anyway I find that most annoying. Can one switch that on-screen keyboard appearance off? Or can one change that so that it at least presents a mini-qwerty keyboard as my actual device does, not that old-fashioned T9 keyboard?

I have downloaded SDK 1.5 and now when I enter a edittext field, this annoying onscreen keyboard pops up. Is there a way to disable it in the emulator? It's very annoying and slows my development down.

In one of my custom views, I have an EditText. When the onscreen keyboard appears, it takes up too much space for my custom view. I would like to turn off visibility of a few of my components whenever the onscreen keyboard is present. Then turn them back on when it goes away. Anyway I can add a listener of some kind to detect the opening/ closing of the onscreen keyboard?

key board question: I just got my HTC hero and love it and the android os. I am not used to the qwerty onscreen keyboard. Is there an android market app that might make this easier for me?

I'd like to invoke the Android onscreen keyboard to just retrieve a single character. Is there a way to do this?I am working on a hangman application and need to take input one character at a time. The plan is to have a text area for each guessed letter, and display the soft keyboard when the user selects a text area for which to guess.

I need to hide all keys except numbers, point and dash and change the dash behavior.
Unfortunately attribute android:inputType="number|numberSigned| numberDecimal" doesn't hide @, #, $ etc. keys.
How can I customize the soft keyboard view? I actually need to show and react to my custom view. What is is the fast and right way to implement it?
Please advise some example or code snippets helps to move forward.

Is this possible? Lets say I have an ACTV that shows you a list of contacts. If I place a T in the ACTV then it may generate a result of 10 contacts. In landscape mode (physical keyboard not open but phone turned sideways), the dropdown list gets covered by the onscreen keyboard. This will generate completion hints at the top of the keyboard. But these hints do not cover all of the data behind the ACTV. There is no way for the user to scroll through the entire list to see all of the data.
There should be someway to force the ACTV to scroll as I move through the onscreen completion hints. This would be an acceptable replacement of the ACTV list. There does not seem to be any such association.
Also, there does not seem to be any public association between the completion hints and your ACTV adapter. Currently, the only way that I know of matching a view(custom and holds data such as phone #, etc) referenced by my ACTV adapter is to do a match on the text placed in the ACTV when selected from the completion hint. I am posting here as the http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_frm/thread/5... thread appears to be dead.

I am an IT Tech trying to work out a problem with a customers Android Tablet. The brand is something I've never heard of called a 'Gemini'.
Anyway, the onscreen keyboard doesn't activate when a type/search field has been tapped on the screen.
The OS is Android 4.1.1
He's other tablet which is the same works, but the screen is cracked so he bought another one of these hideous unresponsive pieces of crap.

When I want to enter text in the browser to search, the onscreen keyboard won't come up. All I get is the "listening" icon coming up to allow me to tell it what I want to search for. How can I enable the onscreen keyboard to come back????

My daughter and I both got Eris' [Erii?] with Verizon's 2 for 1. I noticed while loading some stuff to hers last night though that when you type on the keyboard, you don't get the letters popping up (i.e. on mine, when I hit a letter on the keyboard, it pops up a bubble showing what letter I hit for a half second or so, this doesn't occur on hers).I've looked everywhere I can find but don't see anywhere to turn that on/off. Any suggestions?

One of my apps has an "opening screen" (basically a menu) that has an EditText followed by several Buttons. The problem is that several of my users are reporting that when they open the app it's automatically popping up the on-screen keyboard without them even touching the EditText. As far as I can tell, all of these users are using the HTC Hero. Is this a bug in 1.5? Is there anything I can do about it?

There are many questions related to how to programatically show/hide the soft keyboard.
However, as we all know the android back button will cause the keyboard to be dismissed. Is there a way to prevent the user from dismissing the keyboard with a back button press?
I tried to capture the back button, but when the keyboard is displayed onKeyDown in my activity is not invoked when the back key is pressed and soft keyboard is visible.

I have an application with main view having a search button. On clicking the search button, search results are displayed in a text view. When I hit the back button at this view, instead of navigating to the previous screen, application itself gets closed. Could anybody please let me know how to go back to previous screen.

I have developed and tested my app on the emulator, and now want to install it on my HTC device. the apk installs successfully, however my database is not going with it. I have created my database using sqliteman browser b/c I have to insert a bulk data before the app starts. I have four tables in my db and call each in different activities and created all on the sqliteman. after the data is inserted I pull back the db onto the data folder of the emulator. it works perfect on the emulator but failed on the device. when I try to pull my db on the real device, it shows access denied problem

I had my physical keyboard open and I started to get word prediction at the bottom of the screen again. But I cant figure out how to get it every time the physical keyboard is open. Most of the time I get nothing but this is the second time I have seen this at the bottom. Anyone know what going on with this. There isn't a setting for it for built in keyboard settings page. I wish it would work all the time because it is a nice feature.

I have my android:screenOrientation="portait" on but when a physical keyboard is opened it doesn't rotate the screen as I wanted, but it restarts the app. It seems to run onCreate over again or something. Can someone point me in the right direction and/or tell me how to intercept this and handle it?

I have a vertical sliding drawer at the bottom of my app. When the soft keyboard opens, it pushes the tab for the drawer up, so it sits atop the keyboard. I actually want it to remain at the bottom of the screen, becoming hidden when the keyboard is shown.

Is there a way to prevent the virtual keyboard from moving and resizing views? I have a table with a row of 4 buttons at the bottom of a relative layout that are centered and equally sized, very similar to the 3 buttons that appear at the bottom of the Gmail app when an email is checked. When the virtual keyboard appears, the buttons move to stay just above the virtual keyboard. When this happens, the four buttons become small and get squished to the left, leaving tons of blank space to the right of the buttons. Is there a property I can set on the table, row, and/or buttons to prevent this from happening?

We just implemented Exchange 2010 at our company within the past year, and up until now, we weren't enforcing a security key for devices with Exchange accounts attached to them. Our systems team is currently implementing some security features including the required security key and a remote-wipe tool.
I tested the remote wipe tool on my Asus Transformer, which is running a custom Jellybean ROM and Rogue Recovery, and the wipe actually worked. I was a little surprised to see it work, I figured the custom recovery would cause it to fail.
Is there anyway to screw over the remote-wipe tool?

I am looking for a case that will prevent the keyboard from sliding out. I know I will more than likely not find what I am looking for because the slide out keyboard is a selling point for this phone, but mine keeps sliding out in my pocket and I am concerned that the open portion of the keyboard might bend, flex or crack if it is bent the wrong way. Maybe I am being paranoid, but it never hurts to be preventative

I just used this getDeviceId() to retrieve the unique id of the phone, but in the emulator it gives 00000000 when I try to display it. I know it makes sense to do that but can I spoof a device id for testing purposes. I need to setup about 4 -5 android devices in my emulator to check the functionality of the app that I have written, and the entire app revolves around the unique id of the mobile device. I just feel, maybe it should be there in the DDMS but I am not able to figure it out.
