Null Keyboard – Hide & Disable

Null Keyboard is a keyboard that replaces your on-screen keyboard and hides it, so it never pops up over your apps. It is a lightweight input method: set it as your default keyboard and no virtual keyboard appears, keeping your screen clear for the task at hand.

Tired of the soft keyboard popping up and covering your screen? Null Keyboard is the modern, revamped version of the classic utility originally created by wParam. It is built for devices where an on-screen keyboard is redundant or disruptive: rugged handhelds with barcode scanners, kiosks, POS terminals, and devices used with a hardware or Bluetooth keyboard.

WHY USE NULL KEYBOARD?
In enterprise, retail, and warehouse environments, devices are often paired with barcode scanners, hardware keyboards, or specialized software. There, the standard soft keyboard is just an obstacle. Set Null Keyboard as your default input method to hide the keyboard and disable keyboard pop-ups completely. When you need to type again, switching back to your regular keyboard is quick.

POWER FEATURES FOR ZEBRA DEVICES
Null Keyboard includes advanced settings for Zebra devices:
- Auto-enable & set default: enable Null Keyboard and set it as the default input method without navigating the Android system settings.
- Disable Gboard: keep Gboard from interfering with your enterprise applications.

FOR IT ADMINS AND DEVELOPERS
