how to close a softinputkeyboard

Question

I have created a customauto EditText field. My problem with the text field is that when i click on the EditText the keyboard rises but when i click elsewhere the keyboard still remains open. Please help me in this issue

The name of the custom auto EditText is auto_list. I have attached the onFocusChangeListener

auto_list.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {
@Override
            public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                if (hasFocus) {
                    getActivity()
                            .getWindow()
                            .setSoftInputMode(
                                    WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_RESIZE);
                }
                else{
                    InputMethodManager im = (InputMethodManager)v.getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                    im.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);
                }
            }
        });

Answer 1

Try below code

public static void hideKeyboard(Activity activity) {
     InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) activity
       .getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    if (inputManager != null && activity.getCurrentFocus() != null) {
      inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(activity.getCurrentFocus()
     .getWindowToken(), 0);
    }
}

You are only checking hasFocus, this seems to be causing you problem. you should check something like this

    if(v.getId() == R.id.your_edit_text && hasFocus)

Answer 3

try this :

try
    {
        InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) activity.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(activity.getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);
     }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        // Ignore exceptions if any
            Log.e("KeyBoardUtil", e.toString(), e);
    }

Do this in event on which you want to hide soft keyboard...

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(xxx.getWindowToken(), 0);

where xxx is the edit text in which you want to hide keyboard. do same if you have more than one edit texts on which you want to apply same functionality.
