you can create a singleton class for call easily like this   public class KeyboardUtils        private static KeyboardUtils instance      private InputMethodManager inputMethodManager       private KeyboardUtils                public static KeyboardUtils getInstance             if  instance    null              instance   new KeyboardUtils            return instance             private InputMethodManager getInputMethodManager             if  inputMethodManager    null              inputMethodManager    InputMethodManager  Application getInstance   getSystemService Activity INPUT METHOD SERVICE           return inputMethodManager              SuppressWarnings  ConstantConditions       public void hide final Activity activity            new Handler   post new Runnable                  Override             public void run                     try                       getInputMethodManager   hideSoftInputFromWindow activity getCurrentFocus   getWindowToken    0                     catch  NullPointerException e                        e printStackTrace                                                          so  after can call in the activity how the next form   public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity         Override     protected void onCreate Bundle savedInstanceState            super onCreate savedInstanceState           setContentView R layout activity           KeyboardUtils getInstance   hide this

I use this method to remove keyboard from edit text   public static void hideKeyboard Activity activity  IBinder binder        if  activity    null            InputMethodManager inputManager    InputMethodManager  activity getSystemService Context INPUT METHOD SERVICE           if  binder    null  amp  amp  inputManager    null                inputManager hideSoftInputFromWindow binder  0    HIDE NOT ALWAYS             inputManager showSoftInputFromInputMethod binder  0                      And this method to remove keyboard from activity  not work in some cases - for example  when edittext  to wich is binded keyboard  lost focus  it won t work  But for other situations  it works great  and you do not have to care about element that holds the keyboard    public static void hideKeyboard Activity activity        if  activity    null            InputMethodManager inputManager    InputMethodManager  activity getSystemService Context INPUT METHOD SERVICE           if  activity getCurrentFocus      null  amp  amp  inputManager    null                inputManager hideSoftInputFromWindow activity getCurrentFocus   getWindowToken    0               inputManager showSoftInputFromInputMethod activity getCurrentFocus   getWindowToken    0

I found this because my EditText wasn t automatically getting dismissed on enter    This was my original code   editText setOnEditorActionListener new TextView OnEditorActionListener          Override     public boolean onEditorAction TextView v  int actionId  KeyEvent event            if    actionId    EditorInfo IME ACTION DONE       event getKeyCode      KeyEvent KEYCODE ENTER   amp  amp   event getAction      KeyEvent ACTION DOWN                       Do stuff when user presses enter              return true                      return false              I solved it by removing the line  return true    after doing stuff when user presses enter   Hope this helps someone
