Keep keyboard hidden by default

[jilvar]

It seems the virtual keyboard on Android always pops up when calling In-App Web Browser.
Is there a way to keep it hidden by default?

It might be caused by your AndroidManifest.xml file. Did you set anything there related to keyboard (like android:windowSoftInputMode?

[jilvar]

I’ve created a clean project and tested the provided example (open google.com) scene.
The keyboard still pops up when loading the google page.
Also I don’t see android:windowSoftInputMode in the AndroidManifest.xml.

Is there a way to fix this?

I cannot reproduce it. Is it happening on “plain” websites without any text fields?
I’ve tried it on HTC One with Android 7.

i ran into the same issue.The keyboard opens even on plain html pages without any content. You can reproduce it on samung devices. E.g. Galaxy Tab A

is there any chance to fix that?

[Piotr]

@mart are you using custom AndroidManifest file?

[mart]

No. I use the default Android Manifest provided by Unity.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.unity3d.player"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:installLocation="preferExternal"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0">
    <supports-screens
        android:smallScreens="true"
        android:normalScreens="true"
        android:largeScreens="true"
        android:xlargeScreens="true"
        android:anyDensity="true"/>

    <application
        android:theme="@style/UnityThemeSelector"
        android:icon="@drawable/app_icon"
        android:label="@string/app_name">
        <activity android:name="com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayerActivity"
                  android:label="@string/app_name">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
            <meta-data android:name="unityplayer.UnityActivity" android:value="true" />
        </activity>
    </application>
</manifest>

[Piotr]

Do you see it happening on every device or only on some specific ones?

[mart]

For now i could reproduce it only on samsung devices. I think it is a problem with the Webview implementation on Samsung Devices.

I am doing a test right now with following Devices.
Galaxy Tab A
Galaxy Tab 3
Galaxy Tab 4
Asus Nexus

I will give you an update in a few minutes.

I could have guessed it’s Samsung 😉

[mart]

I can reproduce it only on Samsung’s Galaxy Tab A with Andorid 7.1.1
and i tested several Tablets and Smartphones on Android and ios.
I am not sure if this is a Android 7.x.x Problem.

The only solution i found ist this:
