After a user inputs into an editbox with the keypad, I want the keypad to hide so I can see the results near the bottom of the screen. I've tried this in my onCreate method but it doesn't work. What am I missing?
InputMethodManager imm =
(InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(myEditTextbox.getWindowToken(), 0);
You can force hide the keyboard like so:
Window window = getWindow();
window.setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);
I would get the window in your onCreate method and in the onFocusChanged() method or OnKeyListener() hide the keyboard.
Have you set up a Key Listener?
You don't really state how you know the user is done entering the text so I'll assume they are pressing the enter button on the soft keyboard. Here is how I am handling that type of scenario. I am using this both in a Dialog and an Activity with success. Hope it helps.
this.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener()
{
/**
* This listens for the user to press the enter button on
* the keyboard and then hides the virtual keyboard
*/
#Override
public boolean onKey(DialogInterface dialog, int keyCode, KeyEvent event)
{
// If the event is a key-down event on the "enter" button
if ( (event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN ) &&
(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER) )
{
// hide virtual keyboard
InputMethodManager imm =
(InputMethodManager)getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(sessionTag.getWindowToken(), 0);
return true;
}
return false;
}
});
It depends on what currently has focus...if its another editText that takes focus then this might be bringing up the keypad...try to explicitly give focus to a different element...
You can extend EditText class and use your code in onFocusChanged() method when focused argument is false.
Follow this answer. call the method after you setContentView in your activity.

I am making small application. I use EditText to summarize all data. It shows a few times, every time has own line. User is able to write short note next to time.
I have issue with soft keyboard. I would like it to have "ok" instead of enter. I mean, it shoul not do extra line. On enter, keyboard should close.
For now, I have something like this:
EtNotes.setOnKeyListener(new View.OnKeyListener()
{
#Override
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event)
{
if (event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER)
{
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(
Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getApplicationWindowToken(), 0);
}
return false;
}
});
It closes keyboard, but it does extra line and that is the problem.
I have already tried to put:
android:imeOptions="actionDone"
in my layout xml file. Unfortunately it also didn't worked.
To sum up, I would like my keyboard don't do extra line and closes after enter button.
You have to return true in the branch where you handled the key input
How does EditText still have focus after the soft keyboard is hidden (user presses Done/Enter/Search button)?
Could you please provide me some explanation about this?
That's the default Android behaviour. You can call view.clearFocus() on Enter key press to override this.
Your app and Android soft keyboard (stock one) are different app processes. And while Android takes care of "notifying" the soft keyboard app on your app's EditText focus requests, neither Android nor the soft keyboard app should be responsible for your app's EditText focus changes. Your app has enough callbacks from the soft keyboard at its disposal to clear focus.
- Add Following Line of Code in your Specific Activity.
EditText edt_user = findViewById(R.id.edt_user);
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)this.getSystemService(Service.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(edt_user,0);
edt_user.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {
#Override
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if ((event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
&& (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER)) {
edt_user.clearFocus();
}
return false;
}
});
When I'm using "EditText" I have the virtual keyboard.
Pressing first time "Back" button hides the keyboard. Second press invokes "onBackPressed" callback in my activity. OK, but...
I have no idea how to hook the very first press. I need to process input data as soon as the virtual keyboard dismissed.
Any ideas are welcome.
Thanks.
You can override when the keyboard disappears using this method:
public boolean onKeyPreIme(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK &&
event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_UP) {
// Do your thing here
return false;
}
return super.dispatchKeyEvent(event);
}
Taken from my other answer # : Android: Error popup on EditText doesn't move down when keyboard goes away
Custom Back Button:-
final RelativeLayout rrBack = (RelativeLayout) mCustomView.findViewById(R.id.rr_back);
rrBack.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
MyApplication.getInstance().getRequestQueue().cancelAll(FEED_DETAIL_TAG_REQUEST);
InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(rrBack.getWindowToken(), 0);
}
});
I have 2 editfields in my Custom Dialog which is called from ACtivity, among them 1 is of "trxtPassword" and other of "text" type. Keyboard doesn't appear in "text" type editbox, but just comes on "textPassword" edittext, and then doesn't go only.
I tried the following, but nothing works:
InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager)mContext.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(this.getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);
//inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(txt_username.getWindowToken(), 0);
//inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(txt_password.getWindowToken(), 0);
If I make txt_password.setInputType(0); then others can see the password easily, so that can't be used.
What more can be doen to achieve the goal? I did to trap the onLostFocus on txt
txt_password.setOnFocusChangeListener(new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
if (hasFocus == false) {
InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(LoginDialog.this.getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY);
}
}
});
But unfortunately, once entered, if I click anywhere else or any checkbox, then also the focus is not lost from the txt_password field. That is only lost if I click another editText and then the onFocusChange event is fired and throws error and the application shuts down.
Any idea how to accomplish this?
Use that to keep keyboard hidden on activity start
<activity
android:name=".views.DrugstoreEditView"
android:windowSoftInputMode="stateHidden"></activity>
And there is one usefull answer: How to hide soft keyboard on android after clicking outside EditText?
From the android tutorial :
pass_text.setOnKeyListener(new OnKeyListener() {
public boolean onKey(View v, int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
// If the event is a key-down event on the "enter" button
if ((event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN)
&& (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_ENTER)) {
// Perform action on key press
return true;
}
return false;
}
});
}
when click at EditText, it has a keyboard appear on the frame. I want to know after Enter.
How to make keyboard out from frame except click Back.
Thank you
Try the following
For Activity:
InputMethodManager mgr = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
mgr.hideSoftInputFromWindow(curEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);
In case of Fragment :
InputMethodManager mgr = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
mgr.hideSoftInputFromWindow(mEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);
give the EditText box you have the attribute android:imeOptions="actionDone"
this will change the Enter button to a Done button that will close the keyboard.
A working approach to get rid of the soft keyboard is to disable and then enable the TextEdit field in the Return-key event, button-press event or whatever. For example:
....
pass_text.setEnabled(false);
pass_text.setEnabled(true);
....
I think we can simply add this attribute to our EditText:
android:inputType="text"
This will automatically force the text to be on a single line and therefore when we click Enter, the keyboard disappears.
