You can try like : Disable the `EditText` and append number to the `EditText` on the number `Button` click. — Apoorv, May 15 '14 at 05:58

Try

editText.setInputType(EditorInfo.TYPE_NULL)

Or

((EditText) findViewById(R.id.LoginNameEditText)).setFocusable(false);

Or

editText.setKeyListener(null);

Try this :

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

try below code:-

    EditText ed = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1);

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

    ed.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

        public void onClick(View v) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);  
            imm.showSoftInput(ed, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);  

        }
    });

or

Window.SetSoftInputMode (SoftInput.StateAlwaysHidden);

The android keyboard still appears on uploading on my phone. — user3627802, May 15 '14 at 06:10

If other situations you can prevent the keyboard showing simply using in the manifest

android:configChanges="orientation|keyboardHidden"

In this way the Android keyboard will not auto-open but is shown only if you click directly the EditText

Just posting an Answer what @yahya already commented.

You should consider using a TextView which is not editable and hence won't make any calls to the Keyboard.

In onClick() event of your button's call the setText(String) method and the apply the text you wish. :)

Ypu can also easily append things as setText(yourTextView.getText().toString + "Your New Text");

Hi Kindly try this: For this you no need any Widgets Context...

InputMethodManager miInputManager = (InputMethodManager) Activity.this
            .getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
miInputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(Activity.this
            .getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(),
            InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);

Use

android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"

for <activity> in Android_Manifest.xml
