  I would expect the following code to work as you expect, but demonstrates the problem you have:

  Ti.UI.backgroundColor = "#FFFFFF";
  
  var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
    exitOnClose: true
  });
  
  var textField = Ti.UI.createTextField({
    height:60,
    top:60,
    left:30,
    width:250
  });
  
  
  win.add(textField);
  win.open();
  
  win.addEventListener('load', function(){
    textField.blur();
  })
  

  Using the blur method will certainly hide the keyboard if it is showing, but when there is one or more textFields present in a window, it may be native behavior to have at least one with focus.

  I will have to investigate, and get back to you.

  Cheers

• I ran into a similar problem. I wanted my textfield not to have the keyboard on window focus, but the textfield should show keyboard only when tapped. This is a behaviour that is there in iOS.

          txtFieldSearch.softKeyboardOnFocus = Ti.UI.Android.SOFT_KEYBOARD_HIDE_ON_FOCUS;
          txtFieldSearch.addEventListener('click',function(e)
          {
              txtFieldSearch.setSoftKeyboardOnFocus(Ti.UI.Android.SOFT_KEYBOARD_SHOW_ON_FOCUS);
              txtFieldSearch.focus();
          });
  

  Made my code work, simple and straight forward

• Ran into the same issue today with Android auto focusing a text field on window load.

  Here's the crude work around that worked for me:

  //track your inputs on window into array, e.g. 
  var inputs = [];
  
  //add inputs, etc...
  
  Ti.UI.currentWindow.addEventListener('focus',function(e){
      setTimeout(function(){
          for(var i in inputs){
              inputs[i].blur();
          }
      },1000);//adjust as needed
  });
