Close virtual keyboard on button press

Question

I have an Activity with an EditText  a button and a ListView   The purpose is to type a search screen in the EditText  press the button and have the search results populate this list   This is all working perfectly  but the virtual keyboard is behaving strange   If I click the EditText  I get the virtual keyboard   If I click the  Done  button on the virtual keyboard  it goes away   However  if I click my search button before clicking  Done  on the virtual keyboard  the virtual keyboard stays and I can t get rid of it   Clicking the  Done  button does not close the keyboard   It changes the  Done  button from  Done  to an arrow and remains visible   Thanks for your help

Since you have only one edit text then just call action done for that edit text inside your button click and the rest is handled by the system  If you had more than one edittext then this would not be so efficent because you have to get the focused edittext first  But in your case it will work perfectly   myedittext onEditorAction EditorInfo IME ACTION DONE

You should implement OnEditorActionListener for your EditView  public void performClickOnDone EditView editView  final View button       textView setOnEditorActionListener new OnEditorActionListener               Override         public boolean onEditorAction EditView v  int actionId  KeyEvent event                hideKeyboard                button requestFocus                button performClick                return true                      And you hide keyboard by   public void hideKeybord View view        inputMethodManager hideSoftInputFromWindow view getWindowToken                                      InputMethodManager RESULT UNCHANGED SHOWN       You should also fire keyboard hiding in your button using onClickListener   Now clicking  Done  on virtual keyboard and button will do the same - hide keyboard and perform click action
