title: Android App start with virtual keyboard open
body: <p>I am writing an app for android phones and after my splash screen it shows an activity which has several spinners and edittext views.  </p>
  
  <p>On an android device without a keyboard it shows the virtual keyboard which then blocks the rest of the app and looks unprofessional to me.  I have tried to hide the virtual keyboard in the activity.onCreate method however no avail there.  </p>
  
  <p>My next option I tried was setting an onFocus listener to the actual offending edittext view and still no avail.  </p>
  
  <p>How can I prevent the virtual keyboard from showing until a user explicitly clicks an edittext view?  Is there a way to give one of the spinner's focus since one of the spinners is before the edittext view in the layout xml?  </p>
