Clear edittext focus and hide keyboard when button is pressed

Question

I'm making an app with edittext and a button. When I enter something into edittext and then click a button, I want the keyboard and focus on edittext to disappear but I can't seem to do it.

I inserted these 2 lines of code in XML:

android:focusable="true"
android:focusableInTouchMode="true"

I also tried to add this in the button click method:

edittext.clearFocus();
this.getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);

And it just won't work, after I press the button, the keyboard remains there and edittext still has focus.

Answer 1

To hide the keyboard call this:

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(edittext.getWindowToken(), 0);
