How to hide the soft keyboard from inside a fragment

Question

I have a FragmentActivity using a ViewPager to serve several fragments  Each is a ListFragment with the following layout    lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt LinearLayout     xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android      android layout width  fill parent      android layout height  fill parent  gt       lt LinearLayout         android orientation  vertical          android layout width  match parent          android layout height  match parent          android padding  8dp  gt           lt ListView android id   id android list              android layout width  fill parent              android layout height  fill parent    gt            lt EditText android id    id entertext              android layout width  fill parent              android layout height  wrap content    gt       lt  LinearLayout gt   lt  LinearLayout gt    When starting the activity  the soft keyboard shows  To remedy this  I did the following inside the fragment    Override public View onCreateView LayoutInflater inflater  ViewGroup container  Bundle savedInstanceState          Save the container view so we can access the window token     viewContainer   container        get the input method manager service     imm    InputMethodManager getActivity   getSystemService Context INPUT METHOD SERVICE                 Override public void onStart         super onStart           Hide the soft keyboard     imm hideSoftInputFromWindow viewContainer getWindowToken    0       I save the incoming ViewGroup container parameter from onCreateView as a way to access the window token for the main activity  This runs without error  but the keyboard doesn t get hidden from the call to hideSoftInputFromWindow in onStart   Originally  I tried using the inflated layout instead of container  i e   imm hideSoftInputFromWindow myInflatedLayout getWindowToken    0     but this threw a NullPointerException  presumably because the fragment itself isn t an activity and doesn t have a unique window token   Is there a way to hide the soft keyboard from within a fragment  or should I create a method in the FragmentActivity and call it from within the fragment

Use this static method  from anywhere  Activity   Fragment  you like   public static void hideKeyboard Activity activity        try          InputMethodManager inputManager    InputMethodManager  activity                  getSystemService Context INPUT METHOD SERVICE           View currentFocusedView   activity getCurrentFocus            if  currentFocusedView    null                inputManager hideSoftInputFromWindow currentFocusedView getWindowToken    InputMethodManager HIDE NOT ALWAYS                  catch  Exception e           e printStackTrace              If you want to use for fragment just call hideKeyboard   Activity  getActivity

As long as your Fragment creates a View  you can use the IBinder  window token  from that view after it has been attached   For example  you can override onActivityCreated in your Fragment    Override public void onActivityCreated Bundle savedInstanceState        super onActivityCreated savedInstanceState       final InputMethodManager imm    InputMethodManager  getActivity   getSystemService Context INPUT METHOD SERVICE       imm hideSoftInputFromWindow getView   getWindowToken    0

If you add the following attribute to your activity s manifest definition  it will completely suppress the keyboard from popping when your activity opens  Hopefully this helps    Add to your Activity s manifest definition    android windowSoftInputMode  stateHidden
