Layout closes on keyboard popup

Hi. I have a slider from the MaterialLibrary and a EditText implemented in the background layout of the swipelayout.
I have a swipedenier set when the slider is in touchmode and it works fine.
The problem lies with the EditText widget. When I click on it it pops up the keyboard to input a value but it also causes the swipelayout to close (without the closing animation).
I also have the swipe gesture disabled through setSwipeEnabled(false) and control the opening and closing of the layout through a onClick listener.
What do you think is the cause of this?
