Experimenting with B4XPreferencesDialog.b4xlib and using this in a B4XPages project.
In that B4XPages project I use a custom keyboard, so the normal default keyboard is disable with this code, which is in the main module.
This is called from B4XMainPage with this code:
All this works fine, but not sure where to put the Java code in a b4xlib.
I think the only place it would work in the B4XPages project was in Main, but a b4xlib doesn't have such module.

In that B4XPages project I use a custom keyboard, so the normal default keyboard is disable with this code, which is in the main module.
B4X:
#IF JAVA

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 11) {
v.setRawInputType(InputType.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT);
v.setTextIsSelectable(true);
v.setShowSoftInputOnFocus(false);
} else {
v.setRawInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL);
v.setFocusable(true);
}
}
public static void enableSoftKeyboard(final EditText v, int iKeyBoardType) {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 11) {
v.setRawInputType(iKeyBoardType);
v.setTextIsSelectable(true);
v.setShowSoftInputOnFocus(true);
