Editext keyboard visibility on off programmatically Android

Question

I am new to Android. I have one edit text when I click on it keyboard is showing automatically. But what I want to do is when user double tab on edit text should show the keyboard. How can I achieve it?

 <Edit Text
            android:id="@+id/TV"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:hint="type something"/>

Here I take simple edit text.I take one Gesture Listener class to achieve double tap listener event.

Why not use OnLongClickListener to achive what you want?

yourEditText .setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {
            @Override
            public boolean onLongClick(View v) {
                //show your keyboard
                return false;
            }
        });

hide soft keyboard when click on edit text

  yourEditText.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                 InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)v.getContext().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        if (imm != null) {
            imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);
        }       

            }
        });

no its not working still opens keyboard on single click – sunita Mar 02 '16 at 11:53
Yes, it will not work because imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(yourEditText.getWindowToken(), 0); is a toggle behaviour. – Attiq ur Rehman Mar 02 '16 at 11:57

Find the below code, it will check that the edittext is opened or not. If it is opened it will close it

     yourEditText.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            yourEditText= this.getCurrentFocus();
            if (yourEditText!= null) {
                InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getActivity()
                        .getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);

                if (imm.isAcceptingText()) {
                    imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(yourEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);
                }
            }

        }
    });
