In your `AndroidManifest.xml:`
<activity android:name="com.your.package.ActivityName" android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden" />
More details about windowSoftInputMode can be found [here][1].

This setting will hide soft keyboard when user enters new Activity (even if EditText control gains the focus). Soft keyboard will be shown only when user clicks the edit box control.
