How to stop keyboard popping up in EditText when activity gets opened?

Question

I have MainActivity, there is EditText and PinView for username and password. When I am opening MainActivity keyboard is popping up automatically.

How to prevent it?

In activit_main.xml

                <android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
                    android:id="@+id/edtEmailLayout"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:layout_below="@id/lblLogin">

                    <EditText
                        android:id="@+id/editText_mobile"
                        style="@style/lato_regular"
                        android:layout_width="match_parent"
                        android:layout_height="@dimen/toolbarHeight"
                        android:background="@drawable/edit_bottom_line"
                        android:drawablePadding="8dp"
                        android:gravity="center_vertical"
                        android:hint="@string/mobileNumber"
                        android:inputType="number"
                        android:maxLength="10"
                        android:padding="10dp"
                        android:paddingStart="@dimen/space_with_4dp"
                        android:singleLine="true"
                        android:textColor="@color/black"
                        android:textColorHint="@color/text_hint_color"
                        android:textSize="16sp"
                        />
                </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

In AndroidManifest.xml

        <activity
        android:name=".module.activity.signin.MainActivity"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait"
        android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden">

        <!-- First activity -->
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

I also tried:

    InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(editText_mobile.getWindowToken(), 0);

and

getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_HIDDEN);

Have you check this : `android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"` — AskNilesh, Dec 04 '19 at 05:59

Add these two lines in the Root View in your XML layout

i.e. Root View Could be ContraintLayout or any other layout.

android:descendantFocusability="beforeDescendants"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"

Add these two lines to the parent of the EditText

android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"

Also you can use

windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden"

in the Activity Manifest @Makarand
