Closing Soft Keyboard in Fragment

Question

I found a number of answers to this question but none of them are working for me. I have an Edit text in my Fragment, which gets launched when the application starts. When this Fragment opens, the soft keyboard pops up as well. How do I prevent that from happening? This is what I have in my onCreateView method in my Fragment....

        try {
        InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getActivity().getSystemService(
                Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
        imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(userName.getWindowToken(), 0);
    }catch(Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

Answer 1

Try this in onCreateView or onActivityCreated.

getActivity().getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);

Answer 2

My recently project I use the code as follow to hide the keyboard layout, maybe you can try it.(I learn it from the source code of Wordpress-android)

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
                         Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // Inflate the layout for this fragment
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_template_add_doc, container, false);
    //hide the keyboard if it is visible
    InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getActivity()
            .getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getApplicationWindowToken(), 0);
    return view;
}
