OI File Manager: Soft keyboard shows up unwanted when picking a file

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Reported by Chris S.:

"I'm having a problem trying to use the OI file manager as a file chooser for 
another application, specifically when the file manager activity comes up, the 
on screen keyboard is showing for entry into the filename edit text.  It's 
necessary to manually dismiss the keyboard to have a reasonable amount of 
screen real estate for browsing.

I experience this problem on an HTC Flyer running Android 3.2.1 (and HTC sense 
1.1) using not only my app, but also if I use it to pick a file on behalf of OI 
Notepad.

On an older device running a customized gingerbread, it works as expected - no 
keyboard showing.

I've tested both the current version 1.2 OI File Manager off of Market, and 
also the older 1.14 version which i was able to copy over from the gingerbread 
device - on the Android 3.2.1 Flyer both show the keyboard."

I have this issue on both phones I'm using to test with. Galaxy nexus and SG2. 
Using the version of OI from the play store.

I think it is better if OI File Manager allows the programmer to choose whether 
or not the virtual keyboard will be shown or not. The default behavior seems to 
show the keyboard in some devices and hide in others.  

Allowing the programmer to explicitly choose the behavior adds flexibility and 
does not change the default behavior that might be good in some circumstances.
