I have a LinearLayout and an associated Activity. In my view there is an EditText's box and a bunch of Buttons. When I start the application, focus goes immediately to the EditTexts box and the soft keyboard comes up. Is there a way to avoid this so that it just comes up with nothing selected and no soft keyboard popping up? I have tried findViewById().clearFocus() and requestFocus() on different views, but nothing seems to work.

Change your Activity settings in manifest like below:

<activity
    android:name=".MyActivity"
    android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden">
</activity>

  • cool, that works, but the edit box is still selected. I even try to findViewById(R.id.myedittext).setSelected(false) and it's *still* selected... – user306517 Feb 21 '11 at 17:37
