You need to disable the soft keyboard, add attribute in xml of that edit text.

<EditText android:id=".."
      ..
      android:focusable="false" />

It will stop the execution of soft keyboard.

or

Create your own class that extends EditText and override the onCheckIsTextEditor():

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