Hide Android soft keyboard in Fragment when clicked on outside

Question

I have a fragment containing an EditText for input, but now I want to close the keyboard when the user clicks on the screen outside of the EditText.

I know how to do this in an activity, but it seems to be different for fragments.

i am calling this method on view.onTouchListener

public static void hideSoftKeyboard() {
InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) getActivity().getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);

inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getActivity().getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
}

anyone have solution, thanks

Answer 1

In the parent Activity of the fragment override the following method:

 @Override
public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
    if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
        View v = getCurrentFocus();
        if ( v instanceof EditText) {
            Rect outRect = new Rect();
            v.getGlobalVisibleRect(outRect);
            if (!outRect.contains((int)event.getRawX(), (int)event.getRawY())) {
                v.clearFocus();
                InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(v.getWindowToken(), 0);
            }
        }
    }
    return super.dispatchTouchEvent(event);
}

And in the layout of the fragment use this attribute:

android:focusableInTouchMode="true"

Hope this will help you.

Use this method its works fine

public static void hideKeyBoardMethod(final Context con, final View view) {
        try {
            view.post(new Runnable() {
                @Override
                public void run() {
                    InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager) con.getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
                    imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(view.getWindowToken(), 0);
                }
            });

        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

You could use this method is working fine for me. Just pass the reference of the root element of your layout like this

setupUI(rootView.findViewById(R.id.rootParent))

code for the setupUI is below..

public void setupUI(View parentView) {

    //Set up touch listener for non-text box views to hide keyboard.
    if(!(view instanceof EditText)) {

        view.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

            public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
                hideSoftKeyboard();
                handleCallBack();
                return false;
            }
        });
    }
