I am trying to turn the keyboard that pops up in android app. I have a hex keypad to use instead of the google keyboard as entering a hex code 20 characters long with the normal android keyboard is trying.

Visual Studio uses a config.xml file to setup the Cordova side of the process, NOT a AndroidManifest.xml file.

I have setup the plugin cordova-plugin-keyboard but can't get the keyboard turned off using it.

Here is a copy of the config.xml file

I have removed my details. Is anyone able to help? This question has been asked BUT not answered for cordova apps, I can stop it from coming up in Android Studio using Textviews instead of Edit text fields.

I have searched on Stack Overflow for days, to find a way to hide the android keyboard and got the answer from another forum.

USING HTML=

I used a button input type instead of text and now it works (no android keyboard and my hex keypad works).

<input type="button" id="MyValue" class="my-input" value="" placeholder="Enter Data">.

Java and XML:

I have used a TextView for the input instead of a EditText and no keyboard.
