How to Hide Soft Keyboard on android after clicking TextView (which is set to focusable)?

Question

In continuation of the answer given in Android setError("error") not working in Textview After applying the solution i.e. changing textview to focusable, A keyboard gets pop-up when that textview is clicked. How to hide that.

P.S. I tried onFocusChangeListener and onTouchListener

I want to know where to call this hide keyboard method as I tried this but it's not solving the issue;

    mEndTimeView.setOnClickListener(v -> {
        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        if(ViewUtils.isKeyboardShown(mEndTimeView.getRootView())){
            imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(mEndTimeView.getWindowToken(), 0);
        }
        showEndTimePicker();
    });

Hi @2Dee, Here I am talking about **TextView** not **EditText**. — Manish Goyal, May 23 '18 at 09:14

public static void hideKeyboard(Activity activity) {
View view = activity.findViewById(android.R.id.content);
if (view != null) {
    InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) activity.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
}

Call this method in button click.

You need this method to hide Soft keyboard.

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

Call this method to hide/close soft keyboard.
