How to disable the automatic appearance of the virtual keyboard in Android?

Question

Android

I have Lineageos. Is there a way to somehow set it up so that when you click on the text field, the keyboard, for example, does not automatically jump out to a third of the screen, but some small button appears, by clicking on which the keyboard would already appear or even somehow disable it?

Answer 1

Create your own class that extends EditText and override onCheckIsTextEditor

public class NoImeEditText extends EditText {
    public NoImeEditText(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }
    @Override
    public boolean onCheckIsTextEditor() {
        return false;
    }
}

and inside already hang the display of some 'small button' and return true, onCheckIsTextEditor()
