Hide soft keyboard on pressing back

Question

I have an EditText in an Activity and I want it to be active and soft-keyboard be open when I open that Activity. Here is my xml for EditText:

<EditText
    android:background="@null"
    android:cursorVisible="true"
    android:elegantTextHeight="true"
    android:enabled="true"
    android:focusable="true"
    android:hint="Search"
    android:id="@+id/editText11"
    android:inputType="textNoSuggestions|textCapSentences"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:singleLine="true"
    android:textColor="#000000"
    android:textCursorDrawable="@null" />

and I have used android:windowSoftInputMode="stateVisible" for the activity in which I have this EditText.

The problem is, when I press back once, the keyboard does not hide(ideally it does in all other EditTexts) and when I press back again, it closes the Activity. On the first back press, I am not getting a call to onBackPressed() while on the second back press, I do. Why is this kind of behaviour is happening and how to resolve it?

Edit What I want is, if keyboard is open, pressing back should close the keyboard and if the keyboard is not open, then close the activity.

Answer 1

I add below code in my BaseActivity.java

@Override
protected void onPause() {
    super.onPause();

    final InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    if (inputMethodManager != null && inputMethodManager.isActive()) {
        if (getCurrentFocus() != null) {
            inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
        }
    }
}

Try this ...

create class called Util and put this code

public static void hideSoftKeyboard(Activity activity) {
    final InputMethodManager inputMethodManager = (InputMethodManager) activity.getSystemService(Activity.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
    if (inputMethodManager.isActive()) {
        if (activity.getCurrentFocus() != null) {
            inputMethodManager.hideSoftInputFromWindow(activity.getCurrentFocus().getWindowToken(), 0);
        }
    }
}

and call on the onBackPressed() of Activity

Try like this,

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    if (event.getAction() == KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN) {
        switch (keyCode) {
            case KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK:
                 //useful for hiding the soft-keyboard is:
                 getWindow().setSoftInputMode(WindowManager.LayoutParams.SOFT_INPUT_STATE_ALWAYS_HIDDEN);

                return true;
        }

    }
    return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}
