I need to be able to hide the soft keyboard in response to clicking a button. I have seen numerous posts on this subject and it seems that the solution is to use the InputMethodManager
, but I have been unable to get it to work for me. Supposedly the following will hide the soft keyboard:
InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager)
getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputManager.hideSoftInputFromInputMethod(editView.getWindowToken(), 0);
However, this is not working for me (can any suggest why?), and even if it did, I want to be able to hide the keyboard regardless of what view has the input, and I may not know what view that is.
I found that the call:
inputManager.toggleSoftInput(0, 0);
will hide the keyboard if it is currently being shown. Unfortunately it will also show it if it is currently hidden. So for this to work for me, I would need a way to determine whether it is currently visible.
Any ideas?
Thanks
You might want to try:
InputMethodManager inputManager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
inputManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(editView.getWindowToken(), 0);
