text editor that starts out in view mode? I would like a text editor that works like the Google Docs app, where you start out viewing a file and if you want to edit it you specifically have to click an "Edit" button.  The reason this would be useful is that the keyboard pops up automatically if you are editing text.  90% of the time, I simply want to view the text file and not make changes.  Or maybe I want to view the file and decide if I want to make changes after I see it.  Dismissing the keyboard or being prompted to save the file every time is annoying when I only wanted to view it.
You can install Google docs in your Android device.
Also you can use an editor called INKPAD, that works your way, the keyboard only is showed if you want to edit the note.
