Android Question how to hide the keyboard on first show of B4XSearchTemplate

[AnandGupta]

Using B4XSearchTemplate in B4A, the keyboard is auto opened on display of the list.

Without modifying the b4xlib, can I hide the keyboard on first show ?
User should be able to open keyboard on touch of 'Search' text box.

Yes.

Dim dialogObject As Object = Dialog.ShowTemplate(SearchTemplate, "", "", "CANCEL")
    Sleep(0)  'important line. If 0 not enough make it 25 or so
    ime.HideKeyboard  'need IME lib and it needs to be initialized
    Wait For (dialogObject) Complete (Result As Int)

changed it to ,

Sleep(100)  'important line. If 0 not enough make it 25 or so

to work.

now the keyboard shows on start, but then closes.
