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?

Solution 1:

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"/>

Solution 2:

This should work.

InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) context.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); 
inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(this.getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(),InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS); 

Just make sure that this.getCurrentFocus() does not return null, which it would if nothing has focus.

Solution 3:

   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"

Solution 4:

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