[android] how to hide keyboard after typing in EditText in android?

I have a EditText and button aligned to parent's bottom.

When I enter text in it and press the button to save data, the virtual keyboard does not disappear.

Can any one guide me how to hide the keyboard?

You can see marked answer on top. But i used getDialog().getCurrentFocus() and working well. I post this answer cause i cant type "this" in my oncreatedialog.

So this is my answer. If you tried marked answer and not worked , you can simply try this:

InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getDialog().getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);

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 && 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 && inputManager != null) {
            inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(activity.getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
            inputManager.showSoftInputFromInputMethod(activity.getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
        }
    }
}

You might also want to define the imeOptions within the EditText. This way, the keyboard will go away once you press on Done:

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/editText1"
    android:inputType="text"
    android:imeOptions="actionDone"/>

Been struggling with this for the past days and found a solution that works really well. The soft keyboard is hidden when a touch is done anywhere outside the EditText.

Code posted here: hide default keyboard on click in android

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 did not see anyone using this method:

editText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
    @Override
    public void onFocusChange(View view, boolean focused) {
        InputMethodManager keyboard = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        if (focused)
            keyboard.showSoftInput(editText, 0);
        else
            keyboard.hideSoftInputFromWindow(editText.getWindowToken(), 0);
    }
});

And then just request focus to the editText:

editText.requestFocus();

In my case, in order to hide the keyboard when pressing the "send button", I used the accepted answer but changed context to getApplication and added getWindow().

InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) getApplication().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getWindow().getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);

Just write down these two lines of code where enter option will work.

InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);

editText.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL);

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) && (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.

int klavStat = 1; // for keyboard soft/hide button
int inType;  // to remeber your default keybort Type

editor - is EditText field

/// metod for onclick button ///
public void keyboard(View view) {
    if (klavStat == 1) {
        klavStat = 0;
        
        inType = editor.getInputType();
        
        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)
                getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        imm.toggleSoftInput(0, InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);
     

        editor.setInputType(InputType.TYPE_NULL);

        editor.setTextIsSelectable(true);
    } else {
        klavStat = 1;


        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)
                getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);

        imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT, 0);

        editor.setInputType(inType);
    }
}

If you have another EditText Field, you need to watch for focus change.

Solution included in the EditText action listenner:

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    ...
    ...
    edittext = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.EditText01);
    edittext.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() {
        public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
            if (event != null&& (event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER)) {
                InputMethodManager in = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                in.hideSoftInputFromWindow(edittext.getApplicationWindowToken(),InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);
            }
            return false;
        }
    });
    ...
    ...
}

   mEtNumber.setOnEditorActionListener(new TextView.OnEditorActionListener() {

            @Override
            public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
                if (actionId == EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE) {
                    // do something, e.g. set your TextView here via .setText()
                    InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) v.getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                    imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);
                    return true;
                }
                return false;
            }
        });

and in xml

  android:imeOptions="actionDone"

getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
