try this.

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onResume();

    answer_et.postDelayed(new Runnable() {
    @Override
    public void run() {
        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(
        Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(edit_text.getWindowToken(), 0);
        }
    }, 100);

}

sometime edittext get focus after manually hide soft-keyboard.

so, delay 100 mSeconds and then after hide it forcefully in onResume() method.

Or just add a view in the top layout, as the first view, as such: — android developer, Mar 25 '18 at 07:37
