Is there a way to make the keyboard not to pop up as a default in a particular screen?

I have an Activity screen with a form that has a text area, and text below the form. When the screen opens, for some reason, the keyboard pops up automatically and blocks the bottom part of the screen for the user, causing some confusion since they don't get to see the text that is below.

Is there a way to not make the keyboard pop up by default and only have it pop up when the user clicks inside the text area?

Thanks!

In your manifest file use this

 <activity
        android:name=".YourActivityName"
        android:configChanges="keyboardHidden|orientation"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" />
