Hello,
I have developed a simple extension that should perform the expected behavior. Can you please confirm weather it works?
This is a test project:
hidesystemkeyboard.aia (1.8 MB)

This works as expected @MohamedTamer :slight_smile: Well done.
( a couple of typos in the blocks - Sytem instead of System)

Wait…doesn’t the ReadOnly property of the TextBox disable showing the keyboard?

A quick fix to reduce the extension's size.
Updated extension:
io.mohamed.hidesystemkeyboard.aix (4.2 KB)
Thanks @TIMAI2

Yes, It would indeed. But it would also disable the ability to use the cursor and select the text, etc.. ( without showing the keyboard ).

@MohamedTamer you are changing the input type of the TextBox in this source code I think it will not work properly when the TextBox is accepting only number I mean NumberOnly TextBox.

An issue is there, when I click the textbox it still shows up the keyboard :frowning:

with @mohamed_tamer's extension :frowning:

What shouldn't work properly. For me it works as expected (Android 12).

Works OK for me too if NumbersOnly is checked. However, without intervention a user can then input numbers and letters, because the numbersOnly checkbox sets the soft keyboard to display, not a restriction on what can actually be entered. The developer would need to include a content check (isNumber?) before each character is entered from their custom keyboard, if only numbers are wanted.

Show your relevant blocks, and method for disabling keyboard.

I think GotFocus is the click event I guess

Why don't you disable the keyboard when the screen initializes?
