I would like to know the best way to hide keyboard after entering the text to EditText.
1) setonfocuschangelistener : Does this listener is fired only, when the done button is pressed or when the focus changes from one EditText to other? When I used this method, I couldn't hide the keyboard.
2) setOnTouchListener : When I used this, I could hide the keyboard, but i doubt there might be an issue with this. In this case, I add the touch listener to the root LinearLayout. Following code I had used:
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.login);
txtUserName = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.txtUserName);
btnLogin = (Button)findViewById(R.id.btnLogin);
layoutView = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.li);
layoutView.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(txtUserName
.getWindowToken(), 0);
return true;
}
});
}
Inside the main LinearLayout, I am using other two LinearLayouts. The issue that i faced with the above code is that at some points when I pressed, the keyboard doesn't hides.
My doubt is that I am adding touch listener only with root layout, not giving touch listener with other inner layouts or other controls(TextView). When I touch over other controls or some points around the TextView(ie, inner layouts), keyboard doesn't hides.
That means do i need to add touchListener to all layouts or controls inside the root layout?
How this situation can be handled in a better way?
You can use this code
InputMethodManager imm =
(InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(mEditView.getWindowToken(), 0);
My answer on this question:
Add this method:
public static void hideSoftKeyboard(Activity activity) {
InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) activity.getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(activity.getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
}
If you want to hide keyboard when you touch screen, you can do by this way:
#Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
hideSoftKeyboard(LoginActivity.this);
return false;
}
Hope this will help you.
Try this :
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
it can be used to suppress the keyboard until the user actually touched the edittext view.
OR
inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(editView.getWindowToken(), 0);
A simple check for null or a try-catch avoids the NullPointerException if no view is focused.
public void hideKeyboard(Activity activity) {
InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) activity.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
if (activity.getCurrentFocus() != null) {
inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(activity.getCurrentFocus()
.getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);
}
}
Best way to hide keyboard, just dispatchDoneKey in your activity. Keyboard will be hidden if it is in visible state.
public void dispatchDoneKey() {
dispatchKeyEvent(new KeyEvent (KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK));
dispatchKeyEvent(new KeyEvent (KeyEvent.ACTION_UP, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK));
}

In my xml, I am having TextInputLayout edittext inside NestedRecyclerView, when focus is on first edittext and I am going to focus on second edittext then keyboard is hiding and showing, on scrolling also keyboard is hiding but focus is still there.
Any help will be appreciated.
implement OnTouchListener in your project code
MyRecycleView.setOnTouchListener(new OnTouchListener() {
#Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);
return false;

This might help you Implementation of RecyclerView that will dismiss keyboard
I'm new to Android Programming so was just making a simple app.
In the app I have an EditText component which slides up as the keyboard pops up and i don't want it to slide up so i searched for it and got an work around of using,
In OnCreate method
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST_PAN);
But the issue was after using this line the EditText was in place after clicking on enter the keyboard didn't went away.So, I search for it and got this method for hiding the keyboard
public static void hideSoftKeyboard(Activity activity) {
InputMethodManager inputMethodManager =
(InputMethodManager) activity.getSystemService(
Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(
activity.getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
But now the issue is the keyboard is hiding successfully but is not visible after i re click on EditText.So, I was searching on the net but no luck and started started searching methods in Android Studio for making the keyboard visible and figured out some what this
public static void showSoftKeyboard(Activity activity){
InputMethodManager inputMethodManager1 =
(InputMethodManager) activity.getSystemService(
Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputMethodManager1.showSoftInputFromInputMethod(
activity.getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
But it's not working is throwing NullPointerException.
So please can anyone help me on this.
And also is it there any alternative for keeping the EditText on its position without sliding up. So that there is no need of applying this hide and show method and if not can you please tell me how to bring back the keyboard.
Comment your logic, and please try with below approach,
Write below line in your activity tag in Android Manifest like below
<activity android:name=".yourActivityName"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan">
</activity>
Then add this line to your edittext xml in your layout
android:imeOptions="actionDone"
like below
<EditText
android:id="#+id/edt"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Edittext"
android:singleLine="true"
android:maxLines="1"
android:imeOptions="actionDone"/>
Or set it from your code
yourEditText.setImeOptions(EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE);
On click on done button in soft keyboard, it will be automatically close.
And below is the code of click event of Soft Keyboard done button.
yourEditText.setOnEditorActionListener(new OnEditorActionListener() {
#Override
public boolean onEditorAction(TextView v, int actionId, KeyEvent event) {
if(actionId==EditorInfo.IME_ACTION_DONE){
// write your code here
}
return false;
}
});
Try this
public void showSoftKeyboard(Context context, View view){
if(view.requestFocus()){
InputMethodManager imm =(InputMethodManager) context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(view, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
}
}
or
public void showSoftKeyboard(Context context){
if(context == null) return;
InputMethodManager imm =(InputMethodManager) context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(view, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
}

How to hide soft keyboard on android after clicking outside EditText?
(49 answers)
Hide keypad in android while touching outside Edit Text Area
(3 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I have a fragment containing an EditText for search input and a ListView. I've got the search part working, but now I want to close the keyboard when the user clicks the on the screen outside of the EditText. I'd also like to consume the click event (because it is a ListView, if I don't consume the click event the user may accidentally click on a ListView item they didn't want to open)
I know how to do this in an activity, but it seems to be different for fragments.
What I've tried so far:
Implement View.OnClickListener in the fragment and implement onClick as such:
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
System.out.println("onClick true");
if (!(v instanceof EditText)) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.
INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
if (getActivity().getCurrentFocus() != null) {
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getActivity().getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
}
}
}
This never seemed to post "onClick true" when I clicked.
Override onTouchEvent in the fragment's activity and implement onTouchEvent as such:
#Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(final MotionEvent event) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.
INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
if (getCurrentFocus() != null) {
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
}
return true;
}
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
If I get you right you can try to use a OnFocusChangeListener:
yourEditText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
final InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) getAppContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
if (inputManager != null && !hasFocus) {
inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(currentFocusedView.getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);
}
}
});
This is just a sample, but maybe it points into the right direction.
I am trying to force the Soft Keyboard open in an Activity and grab everything that is entered as I want to handle the input myself, I don't have an EditText. Currently I have tried this but it does not work. I would like the Soft Keyboardto open below mAnswerTextView (Note: it is a TextView not EditText).
InputMethodManager mgr = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
// only will trigger it if no physical keyboard is open
mgr.showSoftInput(mAnswerTextView, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
how do I force the Soft Keyboard open
How do I gab everything that is entered so that I can handle each character. I would like to flush each character from the Soft Keyboard after I have handled it. ie, the user should not be able to enter whole words in the Soft Keyboard.
try this to force open soft keyboard:
((InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE)).toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY);
then you can to use this code to close the keyboard:
((InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE)).hideSoftInputFromWindow(_pay_box_helper.getWindowToken(), 0);
You'll probably need to have an editable text area of some kind to take focus. You can probably have one invisible or on a transparent background with no cursor, though. You may need to toy around with the focusability settings for the view.
Use a TextWatcher to check for edits to that EditText with addTextChangedListener, or if you need an even-lower-level hook, set the textview's key listener with its setOnKeyListener() method. See the KeyListener documentation.
Use this call to force the soft keyboard open:
((InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE))
.showSoftInput(myEditText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED);
and this one to close it:
((InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE))
.hideSoftInputFromWindow(myEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);
note that this is really not recommended - forcing the keyboard open is kind of messy. What's your use case that really necessitates your taking user input without a normal edit box and requires eating user input on a key-by-key basis without echoing it back?
To force the keyboard to open I used
this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_VISIBLE);
it worked for me.
Sometimes the other answers won't work.
Here is another way..
It will force the keyboard to show when the activity starts by listening to the window focus. onWindowFocusChanged() it will clear and request focus of the EditText, then set the soft input mode to visible and set the selection to the text in the box. This should always work if you are calling it from the activity.
#Override
public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus) {
super.onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus);
if (hasFocus) {
mEditText.clearFocus();
mEditText.requestFocus();
getWindow().setSoftInputMode(LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_VISIBLE);
mEditText.setSelection(mEditText.getText().toString().length());
}
}
You may also need
mEditText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
if (hasFocus) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(mEditText, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
}
}
});
Edit: I have also seen the keyboard not open inside nested fragments, beware of those kinds of situations.
if you want to control soft keyboard inside activity then use this code:
//create soft keyboard object
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)this.getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
//1.USE
your_view.setFocusableInTouchMode(true); //Enable touch soft keyboard to this view
//or
your_view.setFocusable(true); //Enable keyboard to this view
imm.showInputMethod(your_view, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
//2.USE show keyboard if is hidden or hide if it is shown
imm.toggleSoftInputFromWindow(your_view.getWindowToken(),InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT, InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY);
//or
imm.toggleSoftInputFromWindow(InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT, InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY);
//3.USE (you cannot control imm)
this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_VISIBLE);
//4.USE (with Dialog)
Dialog d = new Dialog(this, android.R.style.Theme_Panel);
d.getWindow().setTitle(null);
d.setSoftInputMode(LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_VISIBLE);
d.setOnKeyListener(keyListener);
d.setCanceledOnTouchOutside(true);
d.setCancelable(true);
d.getWindow().setBackgroundDrawable(new ColorDrawable(Color.TRANSPARENT));
d.show();
//to hide keyboard call:
d.dismiss();
//if you want get soft keyboard visibility call:
d.isShowing();
Sadly, as much as I'd have liked to up-vote one of the replies, none worked for me. It seems the solution is to wait for the layout phase to complete. In the code below, notice how I check if the showKeyboard method returns TRUE, and that's when I remove the global layout listener. Without doing this, it was hit and miss. Now it seems to work perfectly.
You need to do the below ideally in onResume()
#Override
public void onResume()
{
super.onResume();
ViewTreeObserver vto = txtTaskTitle.getViewTreeObserver();
vto.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener()
{
#Override
public void onGlobalLayout()
{
if (txtTaskTitle.requestFocus())
{
if (showKeyboard(getContext(), txtTaskTitle))
{
txtTaskTitle.getViewTreeObserver().removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this);
}
}
}
});
}
public static boolean showKeyboard(Context context, EditText target)
{
if (context == null || target == null)
{
return false;
}
InputMethodManager imm = getInputMethodManager(context);
((InputMethodManager)context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE)).showSoftInput(target, InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED);
boolean didShowKeyboard = imm.showSoftInput(target, InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED);
if (!didShowKeyboard)
{
didShowKeyboard = ((InputMethodManager) context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE)).showSoftInput(target, InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED);
}
return didShowKeyboard;
}
Working Great.........
edt_searchfilter_searchtext.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
if(hasFocus){
edt_searchfilter_searchtext.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getFragmentActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(edt_searchfilter_searchtext, InputMethodManager.SHOW_IMPLICIT);
}
});
}
}
});
Below line call when you want to open keyboard
edt_searchfilter_searchtext.requestFocus();
if(search.getText().toString().trim().isEmpty()) {
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(
Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(search.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
I have tested and this is working:
...
//to show soft keyboard
imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, 0);
//to hide it, call the method again
imm.toggleSoftInput(InputMethodManager.SHOW_FORCED, 0);
Simply, using adding 2 lines will work like a charm:
If using XML
android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
Else in Java:
view.setFocusableInTouchMode(true);
view.requestFocus();
