How to prevent EmoticonGIFKeyboard to be shown at starting

[Shahjahan786]

EmoticonGIFKeyboard should not be shown by default, it should open only when click on button

Is there any solution for it? I am facing the same issue.

Did you try calling emoticonGIFKeyboardFragment.close()?

[WilsonChristian94]

I did a workaround by calling emoticonGIFKeyboardFragment.close() after a small delay, else it would throw NullPointerException on emoticonGIFKeyboardFragment

[JotaFerreira]

Another way is hide keyboard container R.id.keyboard_container
getSupportFragmentManager() .beginTransaction() .replace(R.id.keyboard_container, EmoticonGIFKeyboardFragment) .commit();

[WilsonChristian94]

okay

Options 1: not elegant .........if you use de code inside the file EmoticonGIFKeyboardFragment in the line mRootView = view.findViewById(R.id.root_view);
--->>>>>> after add mRootView.setVisibility(View.GONE);

options 2: inside xml fragment_emoticon_gif_keyboard add inside line android:id="@+id/root_view"
-->>>> android:visibility="gone"
