This technique suppresses the soft keyboard until the user touches an EditText 

InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) context.getSystemService(YourClass.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
if (inputMethodManager != null) {  // protection
    getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN); 
}

You should add the attribute

android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden"

to you activity in AndroidManifest.xml
