Ionic2 hide keyboard but keep the input focused

I have and android device that can scan QR codes using a laser at the bottom of the device. I have the Ionic2 app running in the device. I am able to get the scanned result string into the input box but the keyboard is now open as the input is focused.

I don't want the keyboard to show up when the input is focused because keyboard will never be used here.

Any idea how to achieve this? I have used the Ionic native keyboard plugin

this.keyboard.hide();

But the above code also causes a blur on the field due to which the input box cannot catch the result of the scan.

I am using this for scanning QR codes

Actually the plugin works fine using the camera. Here is the laser scanner demo

The laser scanner scans the QR code (Faster than device camera) and sends it an input field (input box or textarea or any editable field). So I want to hide the keyboard but keep the editable area focused!
