Answer 1

Check this out EditText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL);

Answer 2

You can use the following line of code to make sure the keyboard doesn't pop up when the activity starts and only pops up when a user clicks into an EditText

Place it in the onCreate method of your activity

this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
