Answer 1

Hello @kartik,

The warning appeared when the soft keyboard was activated in one of my EditTexts and the activity lose focus.

What I did was to hide the keyboard in onPause();

@Override
protected void onPause() {

    // hide the keyboard in order to avoid getTextBeforeCursor on inactive InputConnection
    InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);

    inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(myEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);

    super.onPause();
}

Hope this work!
