How close soft keyboard of previous application?

I have an application with custom keyboard on first screen.
It works o'key! But in some cases application opens with custom and native keyboards...
for example: i am writing an sms, receive notification from my app and click on it (soft keyboard from sms-app still open).
In this case will open my application with both keyboards...
take a look on screenshot
So any method like next one are not working, cos in my just opened application none view have focus and view = null:
View view = getActivity().getCurrentFocus();
if (view != null) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
any ideas how can I close all previously opened keyboards from other apps?

Hide soft keyboard showed by other application

I know that to hide soft keyboard I need to use code like this:
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(myEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);
My problem is that I starting the ACTION_SEND intent, and use Twitter app to handle it. I pass a message to tweet it. But if the user does not confirm the message, but clicks ActionBar back button, the Twitter activity is finished, and my app lication comes back to the front. But the soft Keyboard, called by Twitter does not hide. I have no idea how to get Twitter's WindowToken. Could anybody help me?

Another way is to do the same in AndroidManifest.xml file. You can annotate your activity with the following line:
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden"
which means your activity will always hide keyboard when receives focus.

I have found an unswer.
I had to add this code:
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
in the onResume() method

how do you make it so the Android keyboard doesnt open up when the user opens up my app?

can you make it so when you open up the app the on screen keyboard wont open up untill you click on one of the editText's?

In order to hide the virtual keyboard, you can use the InputMethodManager like this (you can put it in the onCreate()method of your landing activity) :
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(myEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);

Add the following code in onCreate method of your activity:
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
It did the trick for me :)

in AndroidManifest.xml set android:configChanges="keyboardHidden"

it is up to your requirement. For suppose if you want to hide the keyboard every time the user opens your activity, then you can add
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateAlwaysHidden" in your android manifest for your activity. If you want it dynamically then you can make change whenever event to close the keyboard occurs using
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(myEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);
Use this as reference whenever you want

Closing IME onEditorAction

Hey all , first post on Stack so be patient.
I am trying to close the IME after user presses enter in EditText.
I've tried using android:imeOptions="actionDone"/"actionNext" in the layout.xml
I've set up setOnEditorActionListener on said EditText and am looking for code to signal IME it's done.
tnx.

This works just fine
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(myEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);

Can't get keyboard to load onCreate()

My aim is to get the keyboard to open as soon as the app is loaded. Using this code,
InputMethodManager inputMgr = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputMgr.toggleSoftInput(0, 0);`
on a button, I can get the keyboard to load when the button is pressed. However, when placed in the override onCreate() section, nothing happens.

Add the following line to the activity in AndroidManifest.xml
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible|adjustPan"
