hide keyboard in Android

Question

I am new to android, and I would like to implement a tab layout and a viewpager infragments,showing a pop up window, such that when I click a button the pop up window could cover the keyboard and I could view the tab layout within. If it's possible, then is there any example I could refer to?

EDIT: Let me rephrase, What I wanted to ask was how can I put the tab layout and view pager in the pop up window.

This is the PopupViewHandler class which handles the creation of the popup window

public class PopupViewHandler {
    AppCompatActivity mActivity;
    PopupWindow window;
    Context mContext;
    LayoutInflater layoutInflater;
    View popupView;


    PopupViewHandler(AppCompatActivity mActivity, Context mContext) {
        this.mActivity = mActivity;
        this.mContext = mContext;
    }


    public void setupstuff() {
        layoutInflater = (LayoutInflater) mActivity.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        popupView = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.tab_layout, (ViewGroup) mActivity.findViewById(R.id.main_layout));

        TabLayout tabLayout = (TabLayout) popupView.findViewById(R.id.tab_layout);
        tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Tab 1"));
        tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Tab 2"));
        tabLayout.addTab(tabLayout.newTab().setText("Tab 3"));
        tabLayout.setTabGravity(TabLayout.GRAVITY_FILL);

        final ViewPager viewPager = (ViewPager) popupView.findViewById(R.id.pager);
        final PagerAdapter adapter = new PagerAdapter
                (mActivity.getSupportFragmentManager(), tabLayout.getTabCount());
        viewPager.setAdapter(adapter);
        viewPager.addOnPageChangeListener(new TabLayout.TabLayoutOnPageChangeListener(tabLayout));
        tabLayout.setOnTabSelectedListener(new TabLayout.OnTabSelectedListener() {
            @Override
            public void onTabSelected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {
                viewPager.setCurrentItem(tab.getPosition());
            }

            @Override
            public void onTabUnselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {

            }

            @Override
            public void onTabReselected(TabLayout.Tab tab) {

            }
        });


        window = new PopupWindow(
                popupView,
                LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
                LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
        window.showAtLocation(popupView, Gravity.CENTER, 0, 0);


    }
}

This is the tab_layout xml.

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/main_layout"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
        android:id="@+id/tab_layout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="?attr/colorPrimary"
        android:elevation="6dp"
        android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
        android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"/>

    <android.support.v4.view.ViewPager
        android:id="@+id/pager"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        />

</LinearLayout>

And this is how I am initiating this class on a button click from the main activity-

 handler = new PopupViewHandler(MainActivity.this, getBaseContext());
                handler.setupstuff();

But when I run this and click the button I get the following error:

You can hide the virtual keyboard using the InputMethodManager, calling hideSoftInputFromWindow, passing in the token of the window containing your view.

View view = this.getCurrentFocus();
if (view != null) {  
    InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
}

You will need context to for initiating the InputMethodManager and then you can use this code for the view you want.

Thanks for the answer, but I wasn't particularly looking for this. Let me rephrase, What I wanted to ask was how can I put the tab layout and view pager in the pop up window. – Himanshu Chhabra Feb 25 '16 at 15:23
