I guess I could setfocus when the field is touched, but that feels like I'm manually adding functionality back to the text field (edittext) -- which leads me to ask: what other functionality is lost by eatting the touch event? Frankly, I feel that this capture-the- touch-event-and-eat-it approach to suppressing the soft keyboard is a kind of hack. Is there a graceful way of suppressing the soft keyboard?
