Seem that the chosen/more votes answer is not the best! Creating a dummy linear layout is far away the worst solution.. (personnal advice) – Profete162 Mar 30 at 5:21.
GetWindow(). SetSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams. SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN); This can be used to suppress the keyboard until the user actually touched the edittext view.
You can force Android to hide the virtual keyboard using the InputMethodManager, calling hideSoftInputFromWindow, passing in the token of the window containing your edit field. InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context. INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); imm.
DeSoftInputFromWindow(myEditText.getWindowToken(), 0); This will force the keyboard to be hidden in all situations. In some cases you will want to pass in InputMethodManager. HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY as the second parameter to ensure you only hide the keyboard when the user didn't explicitly force it to appear (by holding down menu).

You can have request focus in any other field, or this should not be the first field.
That's yet another reason I feel we must focus on attention. A subtle mental talent, focus is at the heart of everything we do. And excellence of every kind depends on it.
The essence of focus is simply keeping your mind on one chosen thing -- say, this blog -- and ignoring all the distractions and temptations to wander elsewhere that come your way. Technically known as "cognitive control," this focusing power has far-reaching consequences for our lives. For instance, a child's ability here predicts her financial success and health in her 30s better than does the wealth of the family she grew up in or her IQ.
The good news: the brain's circuits for focus can be strengthened, in both kids and adults. The basic rep in the mind's gym is choosing a point of focus, noticing when your mind has wandered, and bringing your focus back to where you want it. But try it by observing your breath for a minute or two, and see how sneakily the mind wanders off.
The trick is not the initial focus, but rather noticing when it slips away and bringing it back to where it should be. That's the move that strengthens connectivity in your brain's attention circuits. And did you read this blog all the way to here?
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
