On Button Click Hide Keyboard

Question

I have a meme creator application, I have two text fields and a button, I want when the button is pressed to hide the keyboard, is this possible?

What have you tried this far? It's commonly expected on StackOverflow that questions show some effort in terms of actual code. — , Mar 11 '16 at 13:08

public void dismissKeyboard(Activity activity) {
        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) activity.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        if (null != activity.getCurrentFocus())
            imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(activity.getCurrentFocus()
                .getApplicationWindowToken(), 0);
    }

Activity have to be passed to this method, Keyboard will get dismissed.

You can hide sof keyboard with this lines

InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager)
                                  getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE); 

inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(),
                                     InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);

Put this in the onClick(View view) event.

You need to import android.view.inputmethod.InputMethodManager;

The keyboard will hides when you click the button.

What you want should already be happening. When you click the button, the focus changes from the text field to the button, so the keyboard will automatically hide.

EditText editText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.textBox);

InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);

inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(editText.getWindowToken(), InputMethodManager.HIDE_NOT_ALWAYS);

this should be in button click event
