I want a text area that just displays text, but doesn't allow you to edit or type. I use the following code for both iPhone and Android. It works like I want on the iPhone, but the Android still displays the keyboard when you focus on the text.

Here is my code

var description = Titanium.UI.createTextArea({
    backgroundColor:'transparent',
    value:'The paragraph of text I want to appear',
    top:40,
    left:15,
    width:290,
    height:225,
    font:{fontWeight:'bold', fontSize:14},
    editable:false
});
