Description

I have implemented a small numeric keyboard myself. The Android soft keyboard will pop up automatically when TextInput gets the focus, and I need to only respond to a custom keyboard or an external physical keyboard. How can I hide the Android soft keyboard?
Thank all

It looks like you should be able to use android.hide_keyboard().
