Okay! So there are many answers to this question. But none of it worked for me. Maybe I am going wrong somewhere.
What I want to do is that, I don't want the default android soft keyboard popping up when I click on my EditText.
Here is my xml file
Activity_main.xml
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingTop="0dp"
android:layout_marginTop="0dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="INR"
android:textSize="28dp"
android:layout_marginTop="12dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="55dp"
></TextView>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="55dp"
android:layout_height="55dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
android:src="@drawable/indiaflag"
/>
<EditText
android:id="@+id/secondText"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_marginLeft="70dp"
android:textSize="28dp"
android:text=""
/>
</LinearLayout>
Here is the code for hiding the keyboard, I am using InputMethodManager to no show the keyboard on click of the EditText
secondText = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.secondText);
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(secondText, InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);
I am using this code in OnCreate just after the declaration of the secondText, But this does not work. I even tried an alternate method of using the above code on setOnClickListener. But still no Success.
Can anyone tell me where am I going wrong? Thanks in advance

Use This function for hide keyboared
public static void hide_keyboard(Activity activity) {
InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) activity.getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
View view = activity.getCurrentFocus();
if (view == null)
view = new View(activity);
inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
}

Add:
secondText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL);
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(secondText.getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY);
Instead of
secondText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL);
use
OnTouchListener otl = new OnTouchListener() {
@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
switch (event.getAction()) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
Layout layout = ((EditText) v).getLayout();
float x = event.getX() + secondText.getScrollX();
int offset = layout.getOffsetForHorizontal(0, x);
if(offset>0)
if(x>layout.getLineMax(0))
secondText.setSelection(offset); // touch was at end of text
else
secondText.setSelection(offset - 1);
break;
}
return true;
}
};
secondText.setOnTouchListener(otl);
