How to prevent keyborad from popping up in the whole app flutter

Question

I am building an app in flutter for android pos device. but i want to hide the keyboard when clicking on the textfield. how can i achieve that ?

I've tried the following code

FocusManager.instance.primaryFocus?.unfocus();

when i calling this code nothing can be entered and the third or fourth tap keyboard popes again

you can try to disable the text field if you want. – MANISH DAYMA Feb 20 '23 at 07:17 — MANISH DAYMA, Feb 20 '23 at 07:17
