Android Hide keyboard when changing fragments

Question

When I change fragments. I am using this to close the keyboard because there is an EditText field on the screen. I just feel like there has to be a better way, but I havent found anything on detecting if the keyboard is on the screen.

Activity activity = getActivity();
InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager)  activity.getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
try
{
    inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(activity.getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
}
catch (Exception e)
{

}

Answer 1

In the activity where you implement the calling to various fragments, put the following...

    InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)this.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getWindow().getDecorView().getWindowToken(), 0);
