disable VirtualKeyboard on Android

[Alexey Smishlayev]

Hello!
I use .request_keyboard() in my application to catch keyboard events, but I want to disable virtual keyboard from appearing, when I run on Android. The reason is I'm using external USB keyboard in my app.
I've triedputting

[kivy]
keyboard_mode=system

in config.ini file I load into Config instance, but with no success.

Best regards,
Alexey

I think it's possible to install one of soft keyboards from play store wich support functionality you need. Nullkeyboard or anysoftkeyboard is an option for you.

did you try folloving way?

from kivy.config import Config

Config.set('kivy', 'keyboard_mode', 'system')

Config.write()

Regards, Yurij

That's interesting.

How android act when a keyboard is plugged ? Is others apps (gmail,
twitter, dunno) show a virtual keyboard when you try to enter text too ?

Hello, Mathieu!
Sorry, my bad! I thought it was a Kivy or Android bug, but keyboard was not properly attached.
When physical keyboard is plugged in, VKeyboard disappears, and everything goes well, thank you.
