No please no

I agree that this can be offered as an OPTION, but not become the default setting that can't be changed.

As an option in the setting

I wish this was an option in the settings.

As long as it is an option in the settings I'm all for it. Don't want it to be default since I sometimes send messages one after another

I don't like this idea at all because sometimes I prefer to send multiple messages one after another

Yes, this would be really good.

I disagree. Maybe as a optional setting.

This should be an on/off toggle in settings.

Forgive me if I'm posting this in the wrong area, but I'm legally blind and having an issue with any attachments I send. I seem to be able to send text messages and have the program formatted where I can see them well. But when I go ahead and make an attachment such as a picture it comes back about five minutes later on my moto G 3rd generation phone and tells me the message failed every time I do this. If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it!

The pop up shouldn't close after one message I send too many for that

I don't mind the keyboard closing, but how do I make it so the entire app doesn't close after I send a text? I send many in a row, and I keep having to open it again and again. Am I missing something obvious?

Yess . it needs to automatically close the keyboarf

Yes i agree this should be an option, but more importantly there should be an option NOT to have the keyboard pop up as soon as I open a message. The keyboard covers most of my message. But I do not reply to most of my messages, so I don't want the keyboard to pop up every time I try to check my messages.

The keyboard should appears when opening the thread with a new message.
The keyboard should dissapears if Scrolling down or after a sending (as an option).

Mine exits the app on send :(

They are missing this code and need to add it as it is the only function that is keeping this app from leading the SMS App market..

How can my app hide the soft keyboard when a button is pressed?
A simple example of this requirement would be a search box within your app. This would be defined in your layout markup as a EditText view and a Button view. Once the user has entered some text, they will typically click on the search button. Default behaviour is that the soft keyboard is still visible until the user dismisses it. You can hide the keyboard using the following code, probably on the button click handler:

InputMethodManager inputMgr = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
EditText editText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText);
inputMgr.hideSoftInputFromWindow(editText.getWindowToken(), 0);

The method requires a reference to the EditText view that was the source of the soft keyboard launch.

Very much agree that keyboard should close. It should also not open, or at least have option, to not open when you scroll to bottom of message.

I'm having trouble receiving pictures

Put me down as being in favor of this only as an option.
