title: How can I disable the android emulator keyboard from popping up
body: <p>In the following screenshot, I have an image that is <strong><em>followed</em></strong> by a scrollview. The scrollview contains a tablelayout and then some edittext fields, followed by a button</p>

  <p>When I want to enter values into my fields, the keyboard pops up and it's blocking my view of the fields, like so:</p>

  <p>As you can see, it blocks my view of the edittext fields. Is there an elegant fix for hiding the keyboard? If not, I will change my layout, however I'm not sure what to change. My layout looks like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:orientation="vertical"
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:layout_height="fill_parent"
      android:background="#CCCCCC"
      android:weightSum="1" android:id="@+id/llid"&gt;
      &lt;TextView ... &gt;
      &lt;/TextView&gt; 
      &lt;!-- Image inserted here as an ImageView from my code --&gt;
      &lt;ScrollView 
          android:id="@+id/svid"
          android:layout_width="fill_parent"
          android:layout_height="fill_parent"
          android:layout_marginTop="3dp"&gt;
          &lt;LinearLayout&gt;
              &lt;TableLayout ... &gt;
                  &lt;TableRow&gt;
                      &lt;TextView ... /&gt;
                      &lt;TextView ... /&gt;            
                  &lt;/TableRow&gt;
                  &lt;TableRow&gt;
                      &lt;TextView ... /&gt;
                      &lt;TextView ... /&gt;            
                  &lt;/TableRow&gt; 
                  &lt;TableRow&gt;
                      &lt;TextView ... /&gt;
                      &lt;TextView ... /&gt;            
                  &lt;/TableRow&gt;                         
              &lt;/TableLayout&gt;
              &lt;EditText&gt;  
              ...
              &lt;/EditText&gt;
              &lt;EditText&gt;  
              ...
              &lt;/EditText&gt; 
              &lt;EditText&gt;  
              ...
              &lt;/EditText&gt; 
              &lt;Button&gt;  
              ...
              &lt;/Button&gt;                                           
          &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
      &lt;/ScrollView&gt;   
  &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
